John Summit Launches Off The Grid Radio to Showcase Underground Talent on Sirius XM

John Summit is at it again – DJing and owning his own record label/event company wasn’t enough. now, he will take on his very own Sirius XM radio show.

Off The Grid radio debuted for the first time on Friday, May 4 and John Summit surprised fans by making the announcement on the same day it aired with a live performance. John Summit wants to bring the underground house and techno music to light through his station. Along with showcasing smaller artists to get recognition.

John Summit said having his own radio show is a dream-to-reality moment and proves he is a man of his word. The dream really did come to life as about a year ago he tweeted: “Siriusxm is great but it needs more underground channels IMO (in my opinion) and isn’t available for everyone.” He specifically said at the time he wanted to create a station exactly how it came to fruition – “exclusively live sets and mixes showcasing the underground.”

The goal of his Off The Grid radio show is truly heartfelt as it reflects John Summit’s quick rise to fame and wanting to give other smaller artists a shot in the spotlight. John Summit became popular in just a few years and took the industry head on, which has led him to become one of the most recognized artists in electronic dance music currently. The 28-year-old did this by having great talent, bringing a unique style, and giving off a relatable vibe as he is from the Chicago suburbs and was once an accountant.

I remember hearing Edm for the first time and thinking I knew this type of music would change my life. I love all genres and the art that goes behind it all. You can catch me dancing to a wide range of tunes.
