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.

The Radio Magnetic blog brings you the latest gigs, clubs, festivals and music news from throughout the UK and worldwide. Palace continue their series of collaborative events across Glasgow on Thursday, this time teaming up with Likwit Fusion.

Palace are currently on a hot streak of events across Glasgow, having played host to the likes of Lil B, Brenmar and Falty DL in collaboration with some of the city’s best promoters. This Thursday, Palace are pairing themselves with Likwit Fusion, one of Glasgow’s newest up and coming nights.

Headlining the event is American duo Nguzunguzu whose R’n'B tinged tribal house sounds have been setting dance floors ablaze for the last year and a half. Their Times Up EP was the debut release on Kingdom’s Fade to Mind imprint and this may well be your last chance to catch them in such an intimate setting.

Not much is known about elusive production duo Silk Cut. They have very little internet presence and instead rely on good old fashioned word of mouth to spread word of their music. Their live show is analogue equipment heavy and fuses Glasgow’s DIY ethos with the virtues of experimental dance music.

Support on the night comes from Likwit Fusion’s own Inkke and Shalla Aeons.

Likwit Fusion x Palace: Nguzunguzu & Silk Cut takes place on Thursday 24 May at The Berkley Suite in Glasgow. The event is free before midnight and £4 after.

Watch a selection of Radio Magnetic’s favourite videos from around the web every week.

Ab-Soul is a rapper from LA, part of Black Hippy/Top Dawg Entertainment, alongside Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and Jay Rock. This brand new single features the lovely Jhene Aiko on the hook and a guest verse Detroit’s Danny Brown. Great video, great song. Enjoy.

Vitamins have quickly placed themselves as the best and most original club night team in Glasgow, pairing a diverse selection of artists with production values that would make Kiss weep with envy. With this in mind, it seems fitting that they would be asked to curate a stage at this years Stag & Dagger festival.

On the night, Vitamins will be showcasing the Unknown to the Unknown record label at Chambre 69. The label’s output has included everything from releasing legends like Marcus Mixx, Alias G and DJ Stingray to unearthing gems from the current crop of underground UK talent.

Representing the label on the night will DJ Haus & Mackaveli (UTTU Sound System), Capracara and Checan with support coming from Sam and Shaun Vitamins.

As we mentioned before, this wouldn’t be a Vitamins party without a bespoke visual identity. Firstly, check out this GIF the guys created for the night, it’s crab-tastic. Secondly, rest assured the Vitamins crew are currently busy building a custom visual show that’s going to blow your mind.

Vitamins Present: Unknown to the Unknown takes place on Saturday 19 May at Chambre 69 as part of the Stag & Dagger festival. Entry is free with a Stag & Dagger wristband. Advance tickets are available from Focus skate shop Glasgow and Eventbrite for £8.
