I've said it before and will say it again: Warm Up at MoMA PS1 is the best summer party in New York. The 17-year-old event, which has become an important bridge between the avant-garde music and art worlds, will kick off its 2015 edition on June 27. One of the most interesting things about Warm Up is the way it throws together very different artists onto the same day's bill, implicitly drawing connections that are always surprising, and sometimes even brilliant. For example, last year's closing party brought surprise guest Skrillex to the same stage as Evian Christ and SOPHIE; this year, one day in July will feature a weird salad of electro don Busy P, PC Music's AG Cook and Danny L Harle, global club queen Lafawndah, and Berlin troublemaker Lotic. Other highlights: the Night Slugs squad takeover on July 11, and July 25's Baauer/Skepta/DJ Slimzee holy trinity. Actually, fuck it, the whole thing is amazing. Check it out below.
