Every year, the SXSW Music Festival features thousands of artists from around the world. And every year, The Austin 100 winnows them down to an even hundred discoveries and highlights across genres. Each song on the list is streamable through NPR Music's gorgeous Austin 100 app until March 31, 2017.
This is a remarkable six hours of music — painstakingly culled from a bulk playlist spanning nearly five days — all designed to trigger further exploration. It's also only the beginning of our SXSW 2016 coverage: You can find full concerts, photos, videos and dispatches from this year's festival at NPR.org/SXSW. So check out the app, come back for more from SXSW and, most of all, enjoy the music.
