Rob Dowell-Yesterdaze | All I Need

My sunSET from Alley Cat's SKYHI rooftop event in Atlanta on Saturday July 23rd, 2022.

Rob Dowell-SKYHI

"The Art Of The Warm Up. We are the people behind the people, the set-up artists, and the ones who create the vibe on any given night by opening up to an often empty room. The mixes you hear on our show are representative of that."

Warm Art on Proton Radio debuted 20 years ago this month. It was a key platform to spreading our concept and sound. We had a 2 hour slot every other week with contributions from our 4 core members plus featured guests; some of which later became members. This playlist features the first few shows that got us started. Please check back as we will be adding to it regularly.

Warm Art | Volume 4 | Wes McGee

"The Art Of The Warm Up. We are the people behind the people, the set-up artists, and the ones who create the vibe on any given night by opening up to an often empty room."

The name Warm Art was derived from the phrase The Art Of The Warm Up. For 20 years, that has been the concept that has shaped our sound. It has also grown into so much more than that with new members and contributors throughout the years. Now is a good time to regain focus and hear what it sounds like today.

This is the opening set that Rob played at Banshee in Atlanta for the Warm Art 20 Year Anniversary on October 14, 2022.

Rob Dowell #Mood Radio | Volume Six-Side B

This is the result of a commitment that started during the first hours of the new year. Sharing folders with potential tracks turned into sessions of piecing them together. The goal was something unique, human, and of the highest quality. On Sunday July 2nd, it was recorded on a MasterSounds Radius 2 and 2 Pioneer XDJ-700s.

“One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.”
-Golda Meir

Featuring songs from Benoît Pioulard, Calibre, Daniel Avery, Data Rebel, Donato Dozzy, Gidge, Jeigo, Koan, and Ocoeur.

Rob Dowell-The Past Is Present

This mix has been carefully crafted over the last six months. For our first collaboration, we wanted to capture the echoing beauty and brutality of the human condition, where grief carves deep fractures and love fills them with molten gold. We built a symphony of chaos and serenity. It is a collision of equanimity and maelstrom, anguish and catharsis, symmetry and solace. The music shifts like an oscillation between cataclysm and halcyon moments, breaking down boundaries to reveal raw edges that transform into clarity. It is as destructive as it is delicate. Each track becomes a sanctuary, holding fragments of grief and love, conflict and peace. This is our story, distilled into its authentic form.

Let the track titles guide you.
