The SXSW Festival has grown from a get together of a few hundred US indie labels in 1986, into one of the most important international music industry events.
Featuring over 1200 bands from around the globe on 52 stages in Austin, Texas, it's a chance for labels to springboard new acts, as well as showcase more established acts.
