Every Saturday every summer, MoMA PS1 presents Warm Up, an 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. As a warm up to Warm Up, FADER and MoMA PS1 will be posting an exclusive mix from one of the upcoming week's artists. Today we've got Orlando's ’90s baby XXYYXX, who'll hold down this Saturday's Warm Up with Ryan Hemsworth, Gobby, Detroit techno institution MK and more. Download XXYYXX's mix, read a quick interview, scroll down for massive summer tour dates and buy tickets here.

What is your favorite summer jam right now? Oh man, I think "California Goths," by Wavves. I don't really know if its a "jam" per se, but it is MY jam.
What's the best summer vacation you ever took? My summer Set it Off tour was insane. It was like the best, most extensive vacation ever with some of my best friends. We went to so many different places—Amsterdam, Sweden, France, Ukraine, all around Europe. It was like a party every day, so fun.
Who is a visual artist that you admire, and why? Guillermo Cassanova, my friend from Orlando. He does a lot of crazy collages. He is my live video guy, he does that too, he can do any sort of visual thing you ask him to. Really interesting stuff, very forward thinking.
What's your favorite summertime snack, and where do you get it? Theres this dude in Dolores Park in San Francisco that sells these crazy good chocolates, I don't know whats in them exactly but they're some sort of edibles. They're gourmet and delicious, if you see a guy in the park selling them, get them. Amazing.
