Devotion (with Skrillex)
John Summit
The collaboration with Skrillex produces something neither artist would make alone. Skrillex brings a layered, almost orchestral sense of tension — sounds that feel designed, engineered, pushed to their structural limit — while Summit grounds it all in the functional logic of club music. The result is a track that operates in waves of intensity, building pressure through sound design rather than obvious build-drop mechanics. "Devotion" earns its title: there's something fervent, almost religious in the way it accumulates. The low end is enormous without being sloppy, and there are moments where the textures open up into something genuinely beautiful before the weight crashes back down. Emotionally it sits somewhere between worship and obsession — the devotion of the title feels less like love poetry and more like surrender to a feeling too large to name. It's demanding music, the kind that asks for your full attention and physical presence. A festival main stage at midnight, the crowd having crossed some threshold into collective delirium, is its natural habitat.
