Fresh off of his first marathon, John Summit joins forces with The Chainsmokers on “ALL THE TIME,” via Expert Only / Darkroom Records. He’s sporting ASICS shoes and running across the duo.
As the latest single from his upcoming album CTRL ESCAPE (out April 15), “ALL THE TIME” opens with a propulsive house beat and a plaintive synth pulsing beneath the surface, building an airy layer of woozy, atmospheric textures. Just as the groove settles in, the track flips—accelerating into a heavy, high-octane drum & bass drop that transforms the song’s energy. The transition propels the track into full-throttle festival euphoria.
Ilsey Juber’s vocals glide through the shifting production with elastic intensity—speeding up, stretching out, and anchoring its soaring melody as the rhythm ramps from house to breakneck drum & bass. Lines like “baby, it’s out of my hands” carry a quiet resignation, while the chorus—“I got everything I need when you’re right here”—deepens the song’s emotional pull. Even as the production explodes into rapid-fire percussion and bass-driven momentum, a current of sadness runs beneath it, most evident when Juber echoes “only all the time,” lamenting a love that can never quite be hers.
CTRL ESCAPE pushes boundaries by fusing a wide array of genres, from heavy-hitting tech-house flair to dubstep, drum & bass, and other broader influences. Taken as a whole, the body of work acts as a portrait of John Summit’s life right now — the relentless touring, the stadium gigs that butt right up against the intimate shows he keeps doing in order to maintain a connection to his day one fans, but it’s also designed to be played out in rooms of all sizes. Each track is its own world, its own journey through the past and present of electronic music. PRE-SAVE HERE.
Marking a major career benchmark, Summit will return to Ultra Music Festival and close out the mainstage on Sunday, March 29. Additionally, during Miami Music Week, he will launch an exclusive new channel, Experts Only Radio, on SiriusXM, going live March 27 on the SiriusXM app. Curated by the internationally acclaimed DJ and producer himself, the channel will give fans unparalleled access to the genre-defying sounds that define Summit’s world.
