John Summit has never been content staying in one lane, and “WITH ME” is the clearest proof yet of how far he’s willing to push. The new single is out now via Experts Only/Darkroom Records, featuring alt-pop provocateur Julia Wolf, and it trades peak-time euphoria for something darker, more intimate, and emotionally charged, haunted by lingering memories, unresolved desire, and the ache of absence.
The track is the third single from Summit’s forthcoming album ‘CTRL ESCAPE’, due April 15, and it arrives as one of his most sonically adventurous releases to date. Built on layered synths, pulsing low end, and ghostly chopped vocals that blur the line between release and restraint, the production is both seductive and unsettling. Wolf’s raw, emo-tinged delivery pulls the listener under, “you stay up all night, you don’t say what you mean / I drink down my mistakes, I almost feel you with me,” before the track drops into an irresistible bassline.
Summit explains how the collaboration came together. “I’ve been a big fan of Julia’s voice and indie alternative sound for a while so I asked her if she’s ever been on a dance record and she said no. So I invited her to my Miami studio and we merged our sounds to make something I think is truly unique. I really don’t know what genre to call this but whatever it is there’s no rules and that’s what I love about dance music.”
‘CTRL ESCAPE’ pushes further across the electronic spectrum, fusing tech-house with dubstep, drum and bass, and broader influences, functioning as a portrait of Summit’s life right now, the relentless touring, the stadium shows, and the intimate club nights he keeps booking to stay connected to his earliest fans.
A massive summer lies ahead. Summit makes his Ibiza residency debut headlining 9 Mondays at UNVRS, makes his UK summer headline debut at Labyrinth Events’ Tofte Manor, and appears at Tomorrowland before returning to New York in September for the highly anticipated second Experts Only Festival following its sold-out 2025 debut.
