The SXSW® Music and Media Conference is back for its 27th year. Our reputation as the biggest and most anticipated convergence of all things music is being kept alive by our continued effort to offer compelling daytime programming and stellar nighttime showcases.

EDJ, hosted by Dempsey Jones, continues with its second show tomorrow on SXSWfm. Electronic Dance Music has been growing exponentially over the past several years and continues to encompass more and more sub-genres with each month.

Tune in for artists such as Rusko, Caspa, A Tribe Called Red, TNGHT, Baauer, Skream, and Calvin Harris. Tomorrow's show will feature SBTRKT, Plastician, Doctor P, and more, so check out EDJ, tomorrow at midnight, 6am, noon, and 6pm CDT on SXSWfm!
Rae Votta's (MTV Networks) self-described "obsession with obsession" is at the core of this wonderfully fresh look at the role young women are playing as both consumers and informal promoters of music in today's industry.
From Beatlemania to Beiber Fever, it's not news that young women can play a huge role in an artist's mainstream success, but this panel suggests we can learn a lot from how they share info, tell stories and foster deeper connections with artists - and how that can be respected and utilized by musicians, labels, brands, and more.
