John Summit Plants His Flag: The Experts Only Residency Takes Over UNVRS Ibiza

It’s the announcement every house head on the White Isle has been waiting for: John Summit is officially bringing his powerhouse brand, Experts Only, to Ibiza for his first-ever residency. The Chicago native is set to take over the revered decks at UNVRS for a nine-week stint, promising an unforgettable summer season. This move cements his status as a global headliner and marks a thrilling new chapter for the island’s vibrant nightlife.

The Unstoppable Rise of a House Music Hero

Just a few years ago, John Summit, then John Schuster, was working as a CPA, dreaming of trading spreadsheets for turntables. His journey from accountant to anthem-maker is a testament to relentless hard work and a genuine love for the craft. The Chicago native’s breakout moment arrived in 2020 with the release of “Deep End” on the legendary label Defected Records, a track that became a global dancefloor staple. Since then, his ascent has been nothing short of meteoric, fueled by a string of undeniable hits like “Where You Are” and “Shiver”, and show-stopping performances at the world’s biggest festivals, from Coachella to Tomorrowland. His energetic sets and raw, unfiltered connection with his audience have turned him into one of the most in-demand artists in the scene.

Experts Only: More Than a Label, A Movement

Driven by a desire for complete artistic freedom, John Summit launched his own record label and event series, Experts Only. The brand’s ethos, “music without limits,” perfectly captures Summit’s refusal to be confined by genres. What started as a platform for his own boundary-pushing tracks has evolved into a global community. Experts Only has hosted curated shows in unique locations worldwide, from ski weekends in Vail to its own full-blown festival in New York City, uniting fans who share a passion for high-energy, forward-thinking dance music. Bringing this curated experience to a venue like UNVRS is a natural and explosive next step.

From Guest Slots to a Headline Residency

John Summit is no stranger to Ibiza, having made his island debut in 2022 and played a series of sold-out shows last season that left fans craving more. His previous performances at superclubs like Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza created unprecedented demand, proving his magnetic pull on the island. These appearances, including explosive sets for ANTS and a standout performance at Anyma’s UNVRS show, set the stage for this landmark residency. The move to his own weekly party at UNVRS every Monday from June 1st to July 27th is a clear signal of his star power. In his own words:

“From the moment I stepped into [UNVRS], I knew we had to bring Experts Only there… Bringing my event to the best venue in the world’s dance music capital is a dream come true.”

This summer is poised to be the summer of Summit. His residency is not just a series of parties; it’s a statement. As he continues to sell out iconic venues like Madison Square Garden and release genre-defying music, this nine-week takeover feels like a coronation.
