The Art Of Warm Up is a curated series dedicated to one of the most overlooked crafts in electronic music, the opening set.

Built on patience, flow and thoughtful selection, each chapter explores the art of setting a dance floor in motion before the night unfolds. This is not about peak-time moments or instant gratification. It’s about creating atmosphere, building anticipation and allowing the music to breathe. Before the lights, before the hands in the air, before the headline act, there is a room waiting to become something.

Because every unforgettable night begins with the first record.
