John Summit has hinted at an unprecedented collaboration with Of The Trees.
Yesterday, two emerging stars from contrasting corners of the electronic music landscape engaged in a noteworthy exchange on X (formerly Twitter), hinting at a potential collaboration. The conversation unfolded when Summit initiated a thread emphasizing the significance of tailoring setlists to specific crowds or venues, a sentiment echoed by Of The Trees.
In response to Summit’s discussion on curating setlists, Of The Trees expressed his approach, stating, “for me it’s never been about constantly showcasing my entire discography at every single show.” The bass producer continued, emphasizing his love for DJing as an independent art form, pledging to play whatever feels right for each unique show or setting.
In a surprising turn, Summit dropped a bombshell, revealing, “facts!!! i’m still mindblown from ur sunrise shambs set and why ur one of my fav artists and why im making music w u.” Despite Summit’s roots in house music’s four-on-the-floor sound, he has demonstrated familiarity with bass music, having collaborated with Subtronics in notable performances, including last year’s EDC Las Vegas, where their B2B set earned them the coveted Set of the Year at EDM Maniac’s 2023 EDMMY Awards.
While Summit has been gaining prominence in the realm of house music, Of The Trees has quietly established himself as a rising star in the experimental bass scene. In 2023, the Maine-born, Colorado-based artist embarked on his inaugural headline tour, featuring a performance at the iconic Red Rocks venue. His imprint, Memory Palace Records, has garnered attention with releases from artists such as Esseks, LYNY, and Barclay Crenshaw – the latter being another artist well-versed in the world of house music.
Although neither Summit nor Of The Trees have officially confirmed a collaboration, the speculation has intensified, especially considering Summit’s impending debut album. Fans are eagerly anticipating the possibility of a musical fusion between these two dynamic forces in the electronic music scene.
