Kenny Summit

DJ Mag once tried to describe Kenny Summit's range, "You had to be there. He played cuts by Tribe Called Quest, Patrice Rushen, Stevie Wonder and David Byrne in the same set with Adonis, Moloko, Laurent Garnier, Orbital and Derrick May, somehow melding it all together in a way that had the crowd going ape-shit-crazy. Kenny Summit is something special. Where has he been hiding?"... and speaking on his production abilities, who better to put things in perspective than the Godfather of House Music, Frankie Knuckles, "I absolutely love Kenny's practical approach to production; staying true to original vocals with his remixes, always putting the dancefloor first. I love his work, I love him, or I wouldn't be working with him."

It's not easy to place Kenny in a specific box, or label him in today's ever changing club scene as he admittedly tries to keep himself somewhat underground. While many DJs play banger after banger, Kenny has built a solid reputation on playing jams, creating a vibe. You wont see him with his hands in the air making heart symbols or doing the Jesus pose in the DJ booth... Kenny is too busy selecting the absolute perfect record to play next, possibly the one that will take the crowd to a euphoric state of mind, making their night one they will never forget.

"I got into DJing in 89, and been gettin paid to do it since 93' : New York City in the 90's, that was the "golden era" for both hiphop and house music, a time when working DJs had to play all styles, or they didn't get much work. Mixing between genres, playing both new and old music alike, showcasing their technical abilities, all while taking the crowd on a journey, if you couldn't do all of this, you weren't DJing in NYC" - Kenny Summit

​As a producer, Kenny Summit gained quick international notoriety with his first #1 hit, "Loving You", a collaboration with his mentors; Frankie Knuckles, and house music icon Eric Kupper. To the dance music community's pleasant surprise, Kenny did not turn out to be a one hit wonder: on the contrary, Kenny has had well over 2 dozen #1 records and over 50 Top 10 releases on both major and indy labels alike, as well as multiple Billboard #1's for artists like the undisputed King and creator of DISCO, Giorgio Mororder.

"Kenny practically lives in the studio, and talks about drum machines and keyboards like most parents talk about their children." - MixMag

If you find yourself in a dark, smoke filled warehouse, where the walls are dripping with sweat, and giant stacks of speakers tower above the crowd, or maybe you're at some random rooftop party, nightclub, or even a small pub, be it in Berlin, LA, London, Moscow, New Jersey, Detroit, Philly, wherever you are; if the music is THAT GOOD, if your'e lost in the moment, dancing with your eyes close, totally immersed in the vibe, take a glance towards the DJ booth and you may find Kenny Summit in the mix. This guy LOVES to DJ and takes all kinds of gigs; just as long as the crowd is up for a healthy dose of tasteful, underground music.
