This weekend marks the penultimate Saturday of the 2016 Warm Up season!
Powell, Russell Haswell, and Not Waving of Diagonal Records will start the day, followed by a thrilling set by Marcus Marr, a regular at Berlin’s famed nightclub Berghain, and exciting indie electronic sounds by Hot Chip. The day culminates in a set by UK-based DJs Joy Orbison and Ben UFO.
This weekend at Warm Up, we are excited to feature some of the best in American rap and club music. One of the most important names in Drill music, Chicago’s Lil Durk, has been revealed as this week’s live act. Fresh off the release of his second album, 2X, Lil Durk combines the heavy trap-influenced sonics of Drill with a deceptive pop sensibility. Our headliner is Philly Club innovator Swizzymack, an in-demand producer/DJ signed to Diplo’s Mad Decent imprint. Expect an energetic mix of uptempo drum workouts and frenetic sample chops in what’s sure to be one of the most fun sets of the summer.
We are also pleased to present an array of acts at the beginning of the day, including Baltimore Club veteran DJ Class, Baltimore MC and self-proclaimed “Queen of The Beat” TT the Artist, Newark’s “Booty Bounce King” DJ Jayhood, and Jersey Club godfather DJ Tameil.

In case you missed last week’s show, crowds danced through some afternoon showers to a polished set by UK House/Techno star Maya Jane Coles. Ohal and Palmbomen II enraptured the crowd with unique live analog sets, Joey Anderson spun a hypnotic mix of smooth techno, and Jay Daniel played a soulful set of Detroit grooves.

This weekend at MoMA PS1, Warm Up is excited to feature some of the best in modern house, techno, and experimental music. Our headliner is the prolific British producer, DJ, and label head Maya Jane Coles. Since 2008, Coles has firmly established herself as a leading figure in electronic music—expect a truly mesmerizing set from one of the most influential names in house and techno.
This weekend at MoMA PS1, the Warm Up series is pleased to welcome Lisbon-based Producer/DJ Branko to the booth for a globe-trotting set of heavy rhythms. As a founding member of the influential kuduro group, Buraka Som Sistema, and head of the groundbreaking label Enchufada, his DJ sets are not to be missed.
We are very excited to have Clams Casino perform this week at Warm Up the day after the release of his debut album 32 Levels!
Before he performs, we are pleased to present Eartheater’s psychedelic vibes, Australian DJ Nina Las Vegas, and two grime sets from London by AJ Tracey and DBM.
This Saturday we are thrilled to host Theo Parrish, a pillar of Detroit’s house/techno scene for over 20 years. Before Theo plays, we are very excited to hear: Detroit’s mysterious techno master DJ Stingray, the genre-bending sounds of Cologne-based DJ/producer Lena Willikens, and a set from New York-based Japanese writer/artist/DJ Kiki Kudo.
Last week, we were lucky to host a disco-heavy dance party! After DJ Guiddo and Kento Slash Demon opened the show, we had the pleasure of witnessing the genius of Danny Krivit, Nancy Whang’s lively and ecclectic set, and a riveting live performance by MHD.
This Saturday we are excited to host Danny Krivit, one of the most admired disco DJs in the world!

I know sculptures can’t dance, but Raúl de Nieves’s Day(Ves) of Wonder looks like it might bust a move any minute. The three-foot piece—which depicts a humanoid figure in mid-groove, decked out in rainbow-colored platform boots, with swaying arms, cocked hips, and a sprawling, Medusa-like head—pulses with energy.
