Chad Valley kicks off a short US tour with Keep Shelly In Athens today, and though we're all stuck in the office for another two days, his Peace & Understanding mixtape aims to ignite your weekend early. Featuring Valley-esque nuances on Todd Terje and Daft Punk, as well as some highly danceable Turks & Caicos mixes, this tape seeks peace, love, and understanding, and pulls it in in droves. Even if you aren't dancing at your desk, put this on retainer for the minute the clock strikes 5pm. Stream the full thing below, or head here to download it. Tracklisting—all great—and tour dates are listed beneath the embed.
Chad Valley's Young Hunger is out now on Cascine.
