We’d like to express our gratitude for another milestone campout this year! What has come increasingly into focus is that Gradient has become a much larger creative community.

So many talented & inspired individuals contributed time, energy & ideas - collectively dedicating thousands of hours of labor to make it happen. The mentorship, co-learning, and friendships formed throughout this process is awe inspiring. Thank you for showing up, supporting, and shaping Gradient into what it continues to become 💜

🏜️ OUR HOSTS Bear & Family
For your partnership, friendship, and for welcoming us to your beautiful space. Your trust in us and our community is a true gift.

🔊 @mobius_acoustics
The sound was the best many of us have ever experienced. The Mobius sub speakers were not only deployed, but designed & built within our community and largely assembled by @dose_444 at our home shop @terraformlab

🎧We also want to thank our talented neighbor @musicisthereason for his help configuring and tuning sound during much of the event. John is one of the most dedicated and mindful A1’s in SoCal and Gradient happens in his back yard. Mobius’s Crew and John tune every single track moment by moment to ensure the sound is as high a quality as possible.

GRADIENT 2026 ARTIST LINEUP ANNOUNCEMENT 🌵🌀🔈

Gradient returns April 24th-26th, 2026! We’re going back to our favorite place in the high-desert of Johnson Valley for another three day-into night program of experimental and dance music by trusted selectors and artists from California, the Midwest, and beyond. 

If this is your first Gradient you are in for a special experience. This event invites a small sub-200 group of partygoers to an other-worldly environment in the Mojave desert where artists present their more experimental and deep leaning taste on an impeccable soundsystem.
Gradient caters to both deep listening and dancing so bring an open mind, comfortable blanket and chair as well as your favorite desert footwear.

Gradient is approximately two hours from Los Angeles. Doors & camping opens at noon, music begins at 8 pm Friday evening. In order to experience the full immersion thoughtfully curated at Gradient you will want to plan on hitting the road before traffic on Friday so that you have ample time to find your camp in the daylight and your place on the dancefloor shortly before sunset.

This year we have extended our programming through Sunday evening so that partygoers can enjoy the sunrise on Sunday morning and a final day of music. Programming ends at 10 PM on Sunday night. We encourage you to camp on Sunday and rest up before driving home Monday.

Attendance Guide, Program, and location details will be emailed to ticket holders in April. Please read the camping guide multiple times and carefully to ensure you are ready for the elements at this event.

We’re still glowing with a sense of awe and gratitude from this year’s Gradient campout. From start to finish, it felt like a gift and culmination of a vital community on a beautiful trajectory.

We’re overwhelmingly grateful to our friends and strangers alike who helped make this year’s Gradient such a beautiful milestone 💜

We want to give a heartfelt thanks once again to our gracious host @theeasylove and his family for welcoming us back to their stunning home and property.

We’re still glowing with a sense of awe and gratitude from this year’s Gradient campout. From start to finish, it felt like a gift and culmination of a vital community on a beautiful trajectory. Gradient only comes to life because so many brilliant, big-hearted people bring their talent, intention, and labor to the mix. We’re overwhelmingly grateful to our friends and strangers alike who helped make this year’s Gradient such a beautiful milestone 💜

We want to give a heartfelt thanks once again to our gracious host @theeasylove and his family for welcoming us back to their stunning home and property.

@music_the_reason and @emiliojon thank you for making this weekend sound incredible. Your tireless attention to detail, dedication, and talent are next-level.

Gradient Campout will be presenting Midwest based live hardware hypnotist @lonefront Ross Hutchens, aka Lonefront, is a multi-instrumentalist originally from San Francisco. He began with the violin at an early age and earned a bachelor’s degree in music with a focus on Jazz Guitar. He eventually shifted toward audio engineering, transitioning into performing live sets using hardware and modular synthesizers as Lonefront.

After years spent on the dancefloor, he debuted his Live PA at DIY events in Minneapolis before being invited to perform at parties such as The Great Beyond, Communion, System, and Even Furthur. In 2021, Lonefront stepped onto the national stage by opening for DVS1 in Los Angeles at the first Wall of Sound event in the US. He later released his debut EP “Pronoia” on Enemy Records as well as performing each year at The Great Beyond festival.

In 2023, he launched his own label, Uncoiled, to focus on releasing hypnotic and driving techno composed with the Colundi Sequence. Tracks from the label have been supported by notable artists including DVS1, Setaoc Mass, D. Dan, Lydo, Eric Cloutier, and DJ Nobu, who featured the track “6” in his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix.

Following the launch of Uncoiled, Lonefront toured the US and made his European debut with a performance at Säule.

Lonefront’s music breaks the mold of idiomatic techno while refining the genre’s quintessential elements into performances that lean heavily on improvisation and hard-hitting grooves. His musicality shines through measured application of polyrhythm and command of the frequency spectrum, setting new standards for live set performances.

Gradient is excited to present Midwest techno campout champion Niki Kitz aka @kiiiiiiiiiiisu Niki Kitz is an artist known for experimenting with sound. From her “Dream Swamp” live modular performances to high-energy DJ sets that blur the lines between techno, trance, and forest psy, her sound is fresh, raw, and unmistakably her own.

Now based in Minneapolis, MN, Niki’s roots trace back to Wisconsin, where she played a key role in hosting a variety of events, campouts, and DIY parties that shaped her journey and connection to the underground music world. With a strong preference for playing outdoors, Niki continues to craft sets that resonate in natural spaces, where her music merges with the environment for a truly immersive experience.

Gradient Campout is pleased to present Mozhgan for a late night into sunrise session. Born in Iran but finding her artistic sanctuary in California, In 2011 Mozhgan co-created “We Are
Monsters” with Jason Greer. This visionary party experience became an escape for those seeking refuge
from the mundane. Mozhgan and Jason, later joined by Solar played a diverse array of sounds and
created a space without the boundaries of genre and expectation.
Mozhgan is known for her captivating dark sound infused with percussive psychedelia. She has toured
worldwide for the past 10 years and played at venues like Panorama Bar and De School, among others
and become an anticipated regular at US festivals and parties like No Way Back and Sunset Campout.
With a deep passion for creating immersive musical experiences, Mozhgan transports her audience
through a sonic journey that blends her diverse cultural background with cutting-edge rhythms. Whether
at intimate raves or expansive festivals, she invites listeners to lose themselves in the magic of her
sound

Gradient Campout returns April 25-27th 2025. We’re going back to the same special spot in the high desert of Johnson Valley for a now extended three day-into night program of dance and experimental music by our favorite selectors and artists from California, the Midwest and overseas.

If this is your first Gradient you are in for a special experience. This event invites a small sub-200 group of partygoers to an other-worldly environment in the Mojave desert where artists present their more experimental and deep leaning taste on an impeccable soundsystem. Gradient caters to both deep listening and dancing so bring an open mind, comfortable blanket and chair as well as your favorite desert footwear.

Gradient is approximately two hours from Los Angeles. Doors & camping opens at noon, music begins at 8 pm Friday evening. In order to experience the full immersion thoughtfully curated at Gradient you will want to plan on hitting the road before traffic on Friday so that you have ample time to find your camp in the daylight and your place on the dancefloor shortly before sunset.

This year we have extended our programming through Sunday evening so that partygoers can enjoy the sunrise on Sunday morning and a final day of music.Programming ends at 10 PM on Sunday night. We encourage you to camp on Sunday and rest up before driving home Monday.

Attendance Guide, Program, and location details will be emailed to ticket holders in April. Please read the camping guide multiple times and carefully to ensure you are ready for the elements at this event.
