John Summit Crashes Karol G's Mexico City Album Party With a 'BbY WOW' Remix
John Summit just crashed Latin pop's biggest night. Karol G closed her TikTok LIVE celebration of new album No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto by bringing out the Chicago house star for a remix of "BbY WOW" at Quarry Studios in Mexico City on Wednesday — a house-meets-Latin-pop crossover that landed in front of a livestreamed global audience.
What happened in Mexico City
- Karol G staged a livestreamed album celebration on her TikTok account at Quarry Studios in Mexico City on Wednesday, November 4, mixing live performances with recorded album tracks.
- Cigarettes After Sex frontman Greg Gonzalez joined her for "Después de Ti," a song he co-wrote and co-produced that appears on the album. The pair first performed it during her headlining set at Coachella in April.
- La Obsesión Factory joined Karol G for "AltaFarra (Remix)" before Summit closed the live set with the "BbY WOW" remix.
- Summit is in the middle of his CTRL ESCAPE Arena Tour, which continues Thursday, November 5, at Toyota Center in Houston. Karol G resumes her Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour on Friday with the first of three nights at Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe.
Why it matters
This was not a festival booking or a billed collaboration — it was a surprise guest spot at a pop album party, and it says something about where house music sits right now. Summit is the rare DJ who can walk into a Latin pop livestream and make sense there, because his sound — big-room energy, tech house groove, pop-scale hooks — already lives in the same space as Karol G's biggest records.
The song he remixed is no small thing either. "BbY WOW", Karol G's collaboration with Judeline and rusowsky, marked its 46th day at No. 1 on Spotify's global chart in mid-October and spent five weeks atop the Billboard Global 200. A house remix of a record that big is a genuine crossover moment, not a novelty — and if the remix gets an official release, it would put Summit's sound in front of an audience far beyond the festival circuit.
What to listen to
- "BbY WOW" — Karol G, Judeline, rusowsky: the original, a global No. 1 built on R&B and dancehall-leaning production.
