Miss Tweet has been releasing some amazing new music recently and we almost missed out on “Proceed”, which she released as a free download almost a month ago. Yesterday I was listening to this song over and over, so today I decided this is a definite Slept on Sundays jam!

Just came across an amazing mix from French DJ/producer Breakbot entitled “The Lazy Sunday Selecta” mix. You can instantly hear somebody put some time and effort in the selection as well as in the blending. This mix contains a lot of Disco, Boogie/Funk and ends with a few sexy slow jams. Shout out to Sounds of The 70’s for sharing this on their Soundcloud page.

After a few days of hard work, sunshine and hearing no postworthy music at all, I finally ran into something sweet from The Noire.
