What a long, not-so-strange trip it’s been for the Valerie clan, once a small group of like-minded friends on France’s West Coast — a few short months later to a wider international family with several mini-tours under their belts and a collective release on Rough Trade later this month. Marking this occasion will be a pretty awesome party on May 30 in Paris, with live sets by Russ Chimes and Anoraak, and DJ sets by College, Jupiter, and Bottin.

Since regretfully i won’t be in Paris for this show, I’ll mark the occasion by sharing some recent gems related to the crew, including my fave mix of College (by 1928), a recent edit done by Anoraak, and the peanut butter, meet chocolate, pairing of Germany’s Justin Faust, and Russ Chimes.

Pre-order on Rough Trade, here!
