American DJ John Summit has announced the release date for his debut album, Comfort In Chaos. The album is set to arrive on July 12 via Darkroom and his own label, Experts Only.
In a social media post, the Where You Are producer posed with two colourful vinyl records of the album, writing, “My most vulnerable work to date. I’ve put my heart and soul into this, and after years in the making, I can’t wait to finally share it with you all.”
Elaborating further in a press release, Summit said about the new album, “Trying to find peace in chaos is the overarching theme of this album—this is a far more emotional, melodic body of work for me because it’s my most introspective work to date.
“John Summit is the performing act, but when I write music, I get more vulnerable—while writing this album, I had to go from being in the mindset of John Summit to being John Schuster, my real name.”
