A New Era of Ibiza Club Production Debuts as Thousands Experience the First-Ever Experts Only World Built Inside [UNVRS]
John Summit kicked off his debut residency at [UNVRS] last Monday, marking the start of one of the summer's most anticipated weekly events. Joining Summit for the opening night were Max Styler, AYYBO, and Cole Knight, as thousands of fans gathered to witness the launch of a new production created exclusively for [UNVRS].
Making its debut on the island, the show unveiled the most ambitious evolution yet of the Experts Only visual identity, transforming the brand's signature twisted double diamond into a monumental piece of kinetic architecture. Reimagined at an unprecedented scale, the iconic symbol became the centerpiece of a cutting-edge production that surrounded the audience and reshaped the venue throughout the night.
From the moment doors opened, it became clear that this was not a traditional club show. Rather than serving as a backdrop to the performance, the production placed fans directly inside the visual language of Experts Only, surrounding the dancefloor with kinetic architecture, monumental sculptural elements, synchronized lighting, video content, lasers, and special effects operating as one unified ecosystem.

At the center of the experience was a monumental reimagining of the double diamond, elevated above the dancefloor and continuously shifting throughout the night. Automated diamond-shaped structures opened, moved, and reconfigured in sync with the music, while illuminated ceiling panels extended the visual language across the entire venue.
Throughout the evening, lighting, video, lasers, and architecture worked together as a single system, creating a production that evolved alongside the performance while maintaining a strong connection between artist and audience.
The opening night marked a major milestone for both John Summit and [UNVRS], establishing a residency concept designed specifically for the venue and its future-facing vision of nightlife.
As the residency continues throughout the summer, Experts Only at [UNVRS] is set to become one of Ibiza's defining weekly experiences.

John Summit is one of the most in-demand names in global dance music. The superstar DJ, producer, and label owner has amassed over a billion global streams, scored two #1 U.S. dance radio hits, and landed eight Top 10 tracks on the Billboard Hot Electronic/Dance Songs chart. Known for his explosive live shows, Summit consistently sells out major venues worldwide, from a lightning-fast, under-two-hour sellout at New York City’s Madison Square Garden to three packed nights at L.A.’s Kia Forum and a headline date at BMO Stadium. His global rise continued with a debut at London’s O2 Arena, followed by a sold-out year-ending performance at Folsom Field that drew 38,000 fans, and the launch of his groundbreaking Experts Only Festival NYC—a two-day event that brought 50,000 people to Randall’s Island in September 2025. John Summit will make his Ibiza residency debut later this year, headlining nine Mondays at [UNVRS] for his first-ever residency on the island. He’ll then return stateside for a hometown headline performance at Lollapalooza. Whether commanding an arena or an underground club, the Chicago native (now based in Miami) brings his signature high-octane energy to every set.
Behind the scenes, Summit is a meticulous and thoughtful artist. Formerly a CPA by day and music tutor by night, he now spends long hours in the studio crafting dynamic, emotionally resonant tracks. As a touring artist, he’s headlined festivals around the world, including the Sahara Stage at Coachella 2024, and produced unforgettable events in unique locations — from the hills of Tennessee to snowy takeovers in Vail, Colorado, and Tahoe, Nevada — all under the banner of his label, Experts Only. Founded in pursuit of complete creative freedom, Experts Only is a global movement built on the principle of music without limits — blending house, techno, melodic, and everything in between. Summit’s global hits like “Where You Are” (feat. HAYLA), “Human” (feat. Echoes), and “Go Back” with Sub Focus (feat. Julia Church) reflect that ethos. He has also been recognized for his impact in the dance music genre through nominations Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, and iHeartRadio Music Awards nominations.
On July 12, 2024, he released his debut album Comfort In Chaos. Exploring themes of vice and virtue, highs and lows, and the duality of the human experience, the album reveals the man behind the icon — pairing Summit’s signature dancefloor energy with raw emotion and introspection. Building on this duality, Summit released his subsequent album CTRL ESCAPE on April 15th – reframing that tension through a new lens: the clash between 9–5 monotony and the electric release of the rave. Sonically and visually tracing Summit’s path from accountant to artist, the project positions music not just as an escape, but as a communal force—where collective euphoria becomes both rebellion and belonging. This Fall he is set to embark on a North American CTRL ESCAPE arena tour, marking his biggest headline run to date.
