​The door is always open in hip hop for a new talent to break through and steal the spotlight, and sometimes you can find those artists before they become stars. South by Southwest (SXSW) is a platform for emerging artists and growing media professionals to network, showcase their art and build their resumes in a competitive industry.

Stix is back with yet another JAMNIGHT at Tonic Room on the 28th of this month. This time around there will be sounds by Sahar Habibi plus a special guest who Stix says is very special, with Peter Cottontale hosting the event. Purchase tickets here.
