John Summit – Forgotten One [Repopulate Mars]
Chicago’s John Summit returns to Lee Foss’ Repopulate Mars this June with vocal anthem in the making, ‘Forgotten One’.
With ‘Forgotten One’, Summit delivers his stand-out track to date with fluttering melodies, a driving arpeggiated bassline and rock solid beats creating the perfect foil to an uplifting vocal sample from ‘Wishing on a Star’ – the 1978 hit single from renowned soul and R&B group, Rose Royce. Hooky but with serious heads down clout, this is peak time material of the highest order and screams Repopulate Mars.
Fast becoming one of label’s core artists, Summit’s knack for creating memorable dancefloor cuts with real character has also attracted attention from This Ain’t Bristol, Toolroom and Dirtybird in the past couple of years while collaborative works with the likes of Gene Farris, Dillon Nathaniel and Deadspace have done little to dent his rep as a studio heavyweight.
