With a techno pulse that’s both hauntingly beautiful and undeniably dancefloor-worthy, Kaskade and John Summit’s new single “Resonate” lives up to its name.
While Summit is newer to the game than his tenured counterpart, both producers have proven themselves architects of anguished, vocal-driven festival anthems that cut to the heart. The awe-inspiring “Resonate” is no different, exploring our innate need for connection—both personal and cosmic—by melding techno futurism with raw human emotion.
With undulating bass that churns beneath teeth-rattling kick drums, the production is a masterclass in atmospheric yet hard-hitting dance music. But amongst the mayhem, there’s a profound intimacy in the lyrics, delivered by a typically breathtaking Julia Church. “Feel like I’ve been with you from the start,” she quavers.
It’s a tour de force from Church, who is quickly blossoming into one of the global dance music scene’s most in-demand vocalists. Soaring over Kaskade and Summit’s pulsing basslines, her vocals paint vivid imagery of celestial wonder while evoking a burning desire to share perspectives and be fully present: “I want to see it through your eyes / The moon, the stars and the sky / Slowly letting go of time.”
Following a massive road-test during Summit’s Coachella 2024 set, the new single arrives ahead of the breakout house music producer’s long-awaited debut album, Comfort In Chaos. He said the album, which is due out on July 12th, is the “most vulnerable work” of his career.
