VOLARIS CAME RIGHT OUT THE TRAPS IN 2022 WITH HIS ARMADA-BACKED DEBUT, ”THROUGH THE NIGHT” AND IT WAS ALL JOHN SUMMIT NEEDED TO HEAR BEFORE ACCEPTING HIM AS THE FIRST ARTIST TO RELEASE ON HIS NEWLY MINTED IMPRINT,OFF THE GRID RECORDS, OTHER THAN HIMSELF. AS EVERYONE IS WELL AWARE, WHEN AN ANONYMOUS ID ENTERS A TRACK LIST OF JOHN SUMMIT, THERE’S TRULY NO PREVENTING THE HUNDREDS OF TWEETS CALLING FOR ITS RELEASE THAT INEVITABLY PERVADE HIS TWITTER NOTIFICATIONS; THIS WAS WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED AFTER SUMMIT SHARED A CLIP OF HIM RINSING “SLOW MOTION” LIVE FROM USHUAÏA IBIZA.

THE THEN-ID WOULD GO ON TO BECOME A CONSTANT IN SUMMIT’S SETS TO THIS DAY. VOLARIS HAS SINCE HIKED HIS GRAND TALLY OF ORIGINAL PRODUCTIONS TO 9, WITH “TYGAR,” “TAKE ME UNDER,” “PURPLE SKIES,” AND “I’M SO WEAK” EACH TRAILING VOLARIS’ OFF THE GRID SHOWPIECE. HIS SPOTIFY WRAPPED INFOGRAPHIC CONFIRMS THAT HE’S ACCOMPLISHED MORE IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS THAN SOME ARTISTS ARE ABLE TO IN A LIFETIME. VOLARIS MOVED FULL STEAM AHEAD INTO THE NEW YEAR, WITH MASSIVE SHOWS AT PRINTWORKS LONDON, BROOKLYN MIRAGE, MOVEMENT FESTIVAL AND MANY MORE TO BE ANNOUNCED, FOLLOWED BY A REMIX FOR AN“ABSOLUTELY HUGE ARTIST,” AND A RELEASE SCHEDULE THAT’S PACKED ALL THE WAY UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR ON LABEL SUCH AS PURIFIED, OFF THE GRID AND MAU5TRAP.
