Westend Drops Futuristic Club Weapon, “Drum Death”
Long before John Summit was topping charts and headlining festivals, he was an accountant with a dream—and Westend was one of the people pushing him to chase it. Years of collaborative DJ sets and shared studio time have forged a creative bond between the two producers, and a full-circle moment has now arrived with "Drum Death," Westend’s new single released today on Summit's Experts Only imprint.
Earlier this week, Summit reflected on his career, crediting Westend as one of the key figures who encouraged him to take music seriously. Their history spans from B2Bs played for a handful of people to a breakout Dirtybird collaboration in 2019, and more than a few shows together.

"Drum Death" is another standout moment for Westend, who was named to the EDM.com Class of 2023 and continues to be a force in shaping the future of house music.
Featuring vocals from HOSANNA, the track's kinetic groove, cyberpunkian textures, and crisp, percolating basslines make for a peak-time powerhouse. Its entrancing vocal chops and revving low-end create a hypnotic push-and-pull, making it the kind of record that grips a dancefloor.
