Summer is very much in the air and with that in mind, why not grab this sun soaked collaboration from Konchis and Wizard.

Konchis has been causing a stir in the Glasgow production seen for a while now, with a string of free downloads dropping from his soundcloud page and topped off a brilliant twelve months with the HMS Below EP for Phuturelabs under his Jetsam alias.

Wizard is a hip hop producer from Hastings who’s worked with multiple MC’s in the UK and abroad. Check out this sampler for his most recent mixtape 808′s & Protein Shakes.
