Sustain-Release Festival 2018: Late summer escapism for the New York underground

Sustain-Release Festival 2018: Late summer escapism for the New York underground

Crack Magazine — Since the very first edition of Sustain-Release, each year’s poster has prominently featured a four-word slogan, which stands in equal parts as a policy and a promise for the dancers who’ve made it ritual. It’s a proud declaration reading: “STRICTLY 4 THE FREAKS.” The yearly weekend of late summer camp raves is now in its fifth year and more beloved by its audience than ever. With this year’s community, of around a thousand dancers or so, comprised of previous attendees and their invited guests, there’s the sense that promoters Aurora Halal and Daniel Martin-McCormick have got the formula right. What began as a humble gathering of 500 members has confidently grown to become an important landmark for the New York underground.
