SXSW is full of events directly related to music and technology
Music and technology came together once again this past weekend when Nokia Music and Verizon Wireless launched the Late Night at Arlyn Studios Concert Series last night at Raptor House in Austin, TX with a special performance by Solange. The series is closely aligned with the free streaming music service, Nokia Music.
The set was 45 minutes long in which Solange performed her latest single “Losing You” from her EP: True. Spin Magazine describes True as “breezy fusion of singer-centric R&B, 1980’s pop, and lanky mid-tempo hip-house beasts”

Nokia has also teamed up with Roc Nation entertainment company to present the Raptor House Concert Series in Austin, Texas from March 11th – March 14th. Taking over Arlyn Studios, the Raptor House Concert series created a diverse lineup of music. Raptor House the go-to place between showcases (invite only) will have live performances by Haim, Caveman, Body Parts, He’s My Brother She’s My Sister, The Mowgli’s, The Postelles, Wardell, Vacationer, Kan Wa Kan, The Lone Bellow, Carousel, Elle King, The Blank Tapes, Maeyani, The Well Spring, and more.
