John Summit

Jonathan Schumer, performing as John Summit, is a Chicago-born DJ and producer who has become the defining name in the contemporary tech house movement. Growing up in Chicago — the birthplace of house music — Summit absorbed the city's legendary club culture before breaking through internationally with his 2021 track Deep End, which became a viral tech house anthem and announced him as the genre's breakout star. His Experts Only record label has become one of the most respected and followed DJ-launched imprints in dance music, serving as home to his own releases and a curated roster of like-minded artists. His 2023 track La Danza topped the Beatport charts for weeks and demonstrated his ability to fuse Latin rhythms with underground electronic production, expanding his fanbase far beyond the tech house core. Festival appearances at Electric Forest, EDC Las Vegas, and Lollapalooza have built him into a genuine arena-scale draw, while his club performances retain the high-energy underground intensity that first brought him to prominence. His Miracle Maker collaboration with Dom Dolla became one of the defining tracks of the tech house era. At LIV at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, John Summit holds one of the venue's top headliner residency slots for 2026. His LIV nights routinely sell out with devoted fans planning Las Vegas trips specifically around his performance dates. His signature style — building from dark, rolling tech house into peak-time festival-grade moments — works particularly well in LIV's stadium-style layout with 62 VIP tables arranged around a central DJ booth. His confirmed August 1, 2026 booking at LIV Beach at Fontainebleau falls during Black Hat USA and DEF CON week — when approximately 50,000 technology industry professionals are in Las Vegas for the year's largest cybersecurity conference, a crowd whose tech-literate demographic aligns naturally with underground electronic music and consistently drives elevated demand at premium Strip venues during the first week of August.

Jonathan Schumer — performing as John Summit — founded Experts Only Records in 2022, which rapidly became one of Beatport's most-followed DJ-launched imprints. His 2021 track Deep End defined the contemporary tech house sound for an entire generation, and La Danza (2023) — fusing Latin rhythms with underground electronic production — topped the Beatport main chart for multiple weeks. His festival headliner bookings at EDC Las Vegas, Lollapalooza, and Electric Forest have built him into one of the few tech house artists who sells out arenas.
