Every Saturday every summer, MoMA PS1 presents Warm Up, a event series taking place in their enormous courtyard. The museum—MoMA's longstanding sister site in Long Island City, Queens—is a lightning rod for new and exciting artists, and each week's performers inhabit a similar space in the music world. To ensure a great, current and diverse schedule, the lineup—with oversight from MoMA PS1 director Klaus Biesenbach and organized by MoMA PS1 curatorial assistant Eliza Ryan—is selected by a team of heavy hitters: Dean Bein, head of True Panther Sounds; Kris Chen, head of A & R at XL Recordings; Robin Carolan, head of Tri Angle Records; Jonathan Galkin, co-founder of DFA Records; Brandon Stosuy, senior writer for Stereogum and contributing editor for The Believer; and Matt Werth, label head of RVNG Intl. Every Thursday throughout the summer, as a warm up to Warm Up, FADER and MoMA PS1 will be posting an exclusive mix from one of the artists performing. This week, the opener, it's Beautiful Swimmers, the world's foremost organic house enthusiasts. Andrew Field-Pickering aka Maxmillion Dunbar, one half of the group said about the mix: "It's a lot of new music that we've been playing lately, all of the songs seemed PS1-esque for some reason, like amphitheater house! There's also a good bit of unreleased Swimmers and Future Times cuts too." Download the mix below and see them live, along with DJ Pierre, Delicate Steve, Protect-U and Zoovox, this Saturday at MoMA PS1.
