From ID to Official Release

Westend has released "The Ceiling" on Experts Only, marking his second appearance on the imprint following "Drum Death" with HOSANNA. The track gained momentum before its official drop after John Summit played it at his Experts Only Art Basel set in Miami and later during his mainstage-closing performance at Ultra Miami 2026. Westend has also featured it in his own sets, including a recent appearance at EDC Las Vegas at the Cosmic Meadow stage.

A Decade-Long Friendship

Before Summit was headlining festivals, he opened for Westend's Chicago shows, where the two would sometimes go back-to-back in front of small crowds. That early friendship, which has now spanned roughly a decade, has yielded one of the more buzzed-about IDs in Westend's recent arsenal.

Production and Vocal Performance

Written in London while carrying the energy of a New York house party, "The Ceiling" is driven by a gritty, rolling bassline and a distortion-tinged vocal from Olivia Sebastianelli, whose delivery of every passing word lands with the weight of a rallying cry. A frequent fixture in Beatport's top 10 best-selling tech house producers, Westend has earned his standing through a steady run of releases spanning Repopulate Mars, Insomniac, Toolroom, Dirtybird, and more.

Westend heads into summer with a Las Vegas residency at LIV and additional festival appearances on the books, including Lollapalooza, Electric Forest, and Day Trip.
