MESTO RELEASES FUTURISTIC TRACK “FREAK” WITH VOCALS BY INK
VIA JOHN SUMMIT’S EXPERTS ONLY.

Dutch producer Mesto and songwriter and genre-defying artist INK team up to release “Freak” via John Summit’s Experts Only.
After being one of the stand outs from John Summit’s recent sets and receiving support from the likes of ZEDD, Alok and Martin Garrix, fans have been eagerly waiting for the track's launch. Dark and seductive, the club-ready tech house track captures the feeling of being completely consumed by the moment on the dance floor.
Driven by a persistent pulse and futuristic synths, “Freak” unfolds as a slow-burning build centered around attraction. Lyrics like “I feel the frequency signal” and “It’s like our worlds colliding” heighten the track’s sense of tension, while hypnotic repetition creates an atmosphere that feels both futuristic and visceral. Every element is carefully designed to build anticipation, drawing the listener deeper into the groove until the energy becomes impossible to escape.
Mesto says of the track:
I feel like the craziest songs usually start outside the studio - at least that’s when inspiration really strikes for me. That was definitely the case with this new one, ‘Freak’. I made the first idea in a hotel room in LA, and it felt like the song already existed in my head: I just had to get it out.
That same week, John Summit premiered the first version at Ultra Miami and kept playing it throughout the summer, alongside big names like Dom Dolla, Garrix, Zedd and Alok.
When the legendary INK came in and wrote the topline, I immediately felt like the song was complete and ready to release. I’m super stoked and honoured it’s finally coming out on Experts Only - honestly one of my favourite labels in the game right now.
For over a decade, Mesto has been shaping a sound that resonates across festivals, clubs, and international airwaves. Breaking through at a young age, the Dutch producer quickly made his mark on some of the world’s biggest stages, while earning millions of streams through successful collaborations and releases. With “Caramelle,” Mesto enters a new creative era, offering the first glimpse into a fresh direction that reflects his evolution as both a producer and storyteller.
Joining him on the record is INK, a genre-defying hitmaker and singer/songwriter. INK has left her mark on landmark cultural moments, including Beyoncé's GRAMMY Award-winning albums COWBOY CARTER and RENAISSANCE, and Kendrick Lamar's GNX — where she co-wrote the multi-week No. 1 hit "Luther." That work earned INK three nominations at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards: Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year, winning her first GRAMMY for the latter.”
