Taking our venerable weekly exclusive mix series into double digits is one of London's premier party crews Warm, who'll be bringing their bass-heavy disco and house vibes to our first Stop Making Sense festival this September.Their mix, by Warm resident DJ Rob Summerhayes, is pretty much an instant classic, a downtown NYC loft party style selection of old school classic house and new school Balearic disco with stand-out cuts and remixes from the likes of Lil Louis, Todd Terje, George Morel, The Juan Maclean and DFA's resident synth wizard Gavin Russom in his acid house Black Van guise (tracklisting below).

Summer's coming, what's on the agenda?
"At the moment we have quite a few things coming up such as our Plastic People residency with Prosumer and Tim Sweeney in July and August and on top of that we have festival slots at Lovebox and V festival in Chelmsford as well as a few European residencies in the pipeline which we are looking to kick start very soon! Beyond that we have a monster line-up nearly finalised for Warm 11th Birthday in October which will also be the start of a quarterly residency at Corsica Studios."
