Sustain-Release Year Eleven (2025)

Sustain-Release returns to Camp Kennybrook for its eleventh chapter, inviting dancers and heads to the heart of upstate New York from September 11th, 2025. This year’s curation draws deep from both sides of the Atlantic and diverse corners of the electronic underground, with a multiday program designed to blur the boundaries between pulsing techno, leftfield electronics, future-facing bass, and immersive live performance. Anchoring the lineup is Sharlese, whose dynamic selections have ignited scenes from Seattle to Berlin, and Byron Yeates, whose fluid house mutations promise a kinetic late-night odyssey.

Conducta steps in as a London torchbearer of UK garage’s evolution, while DJ SWISHA and Baby Leo bring a distinctly stateside, party-forward spirit. Reptant’s acid mutations intersect with Piezo’s bass experiments and Mor Elian’s signature deep, hypnotic grooves. Donato Dozzy returns to the fold, a rare stateside appearance primed for transcendental sunrise blends.

Ben UFO and Vladimir Ivkovic touch down for extended sets that stretch genre contours, joined by the genre-wise wizardry of Goldie—bringing decades of jungle and drum & bass innovation to the woods. Juliana Huxtable and MORENXXX thread performance and club sonics, each known for challenging the limits of sound and presence. Breakout names Lovie, Arushi Jain, Ma Sha, BASHKKA, K Wata, and OK Williams push the event’s exploratory focus further, bolstered by local and international risers like Kilopatrah Jones, adobeprincess, Sybil, Lis Dalton, and DJ TOOL.

Fluid b2bs and surprise appearances are anticipated, with a Special Guest DJ slot poised for a high-impact, unannounced set. Rising artists like Mia Koden, Vlada, Maara, Ayesha, Hank Jackson, Nosedrip, and OKO DJ ensure a future-facing perspective runs throughout. Returning favorites and debuts alike are contextualized by Camp Kennybrook’s signature blend of closely intertwined indoor and outdoor settings, custom sound, and a shared ethos that places community at the heart of the experience.

As a new year dawns for Sustain-Release, Year Eleven issues an invitation: move, listen, and lose yourself in the collective pulse, as boundary-pushing selectors soundtrack another transformative weekend deep in the woods.
