John Summit Unleashes His Experts Only ‘Playa Package’

John Summit has just dropped off his Playa Package, a compilation of Burning Man-inspired remixes that brings the magic of the Playa to dancefloors worldwide.


When it comes to capturing the essence of a sunrise on the playa, John Summit isn’t one to half-step. Fresh off the heels of a year full of iconic sets and festival milestones, the Chicago-born selector has unveiled his Playa Package — a six-track remix compilation stitched together specifically for his unforgettable Mayan Warrior debut at Burning Man earlier this year.

Since attending his first Burn back in 2022, Summit had his sights set on playing the Mayan Warrior art car’s sunrise tradition. This year, his dream came to a reality: months of edits, custom reworks, and carefully curated remixes culminated in a set that lived up to the myth and blessed Black Rock City with his very own desert dreamscape. The Playa Package, out now on Experts Only, is less like an EP and more like a portal to the Mayan Warrior at sunrise—a sonic souvenir from the dust that refuses to settle.

All of these remixes were crafted specifically for my Burning Man set – some of my biggest tracks reimagined and reborn in the desert. In addition to my special ‘crystallized’ playa rework, we tapped some of our favorite producers from within the community, artists who live and breathe its ethos & whose sounds perfectly capture its beauty, grit, and radical expression

At the heart of the Playa Package is Summit’s extraordinary reimagining of “crystallized” (feat. Inéz), a track that exploded in popularity and became a festival favorite. Surrounding it are reworks that embody the radical spirit of Burning Man. Deeper grooves, grittier textures, and bolder drops that are designed to crack open the night sky encompass this six-part desert daydream. 

What makes this package stand out is the roster of collaborators from within the Burning Man community itself. Each producer brought the magic of the playa into their renditions with radical fury, bringing Summit’s most sought-after anthems into darker, more industrial territory. N.O.Y & Guy Katch turn “Shiver” into a thrasher of both beauty and grit. Others felt like the first rays of sunrise, like Millero’s rendition of “Where You Are” and

Each track feels like its own chapter in the Burning Man story, every note reimagined with the vast desert in mind. From ethereal textures to basslines that hit like a sandstorm in the night, the Playa Package transforms the familiar into fresh sonic journeys that explore the duality of the desert.

Based in Southern California, Jackie grew up with a profound love for all things dance music. She found a home in the festival scene and realized her dream of pursuing a career in music and event production at just fourteen. Over the years, she has worked in various facets of the industry, including writing for various media outlets, managing social media at Audio San Francisco, organizing local events with Burning Man, and working as artist transportation at festivals like Life Is Beautiful. She fell in love with Anjunadeep during her time at Audio, with progressive and deep house encapsulating her heart. However, her music taste spans far and wide, so you never know which side of the festival grounds you may find her at. When she's not bopping around a festival, you'll likely find her behind the decks as DJ JAKLŸN.
