Warm Up 2023

Warm Up returns to MoMA PS1 this summer with electronic music and DJ sets from 5 to 10 p.m. on select Friday evenings in July and August. Crossing eclectic genres, tempos, and styles, this season’s program highlights a range of performers from New York City and beyond. Early-evening sonic experimentation builds to late-night breakbeats over four distinct sets. This year’s lineup includes artists such as Paris-based DJ/producer Crystallmess, known for experimental dance music; influential New York DJ Bobby Beethoven, who performed as Total Freedom at Warm Up in 2014 and 2017; Congolese-Belgian electronic musician Nkisi; legendary DJ and producer Frankie Bones; queer nightlife icon Pauli Cakes; Jersey club luminary DJ Sliink; and Fatherhood, the collaborative project of DJs Michael Magnan and Daniel Fisher.

Now in its 25th season, Warm Up 2023 takes place in the MoMA PS1 Courtyard with a newly commissioned stage design by artist Raque Ford, who was featured in Greater New York 2021. A group of New York-based artists linked to the city’s sound, music, and nightlife scenes serve as this year’s host committee: Meriem Bennani, Patia Borja (JUICY), Raúl de Nieves (Hairbone), Joni (Intima), and Mike Pollard (Nina Protocol).
