Mixed by DJ Concept & DJ Dutchmaster, North By Northeast: NXNE (The Southwest Invasion) is a 70-minute mix highlighting artists and producers from the Northeast United States, released to cleverly coincide with the SXSW music festival wrapping up in Austin, Texas. Designed to highlight “music from several up-coming and established artists & producers coming out of the north east that might not have migrated down to Austin this week for SXSW but are still heavy on the grind,” NXNE features many New York-area artists, including many from upcoming projects set for release on FatBeats Records or Coalmine Records, who co-presented the project.
