Musical Gems Displayed On Jill Scott Vault Mixtape

April 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Boutique label Hidden Beach challenged Tony Nuccio an up and coming DJ to develop a mixtape to present material from their Just Before Dawn: Jill Scott FROM THE VAULT Vol.1 release. Nuccio, a Producer and web specialist, also known in Los Angeles club circles for creating soulful house music soundscapes jumped at the opportunity and delivered a worthy introduction named simply: Just Before Dawn  (Tony Nuccio’s Vault Mixtape).

“Jill’s music has trained my ears and made me a better DJ. “ states Tony Nuccio. “It’s mostly mid and downtempo selections and required a unique presentation.  I started as a Hip Hop DJ and migrated to House music. I’m happy to mix Soul and Jazz because I feel it’s the origins of today’s Pop Music. I’m honored for the opportunity and excited to know that this modern Diva’s mixtape is being received so well by the fans.”

“We’re excited by what Tony has come up with for Jill’s mixtape. “ states Thornell Jones, the project’s Marketing Director. “It’s definitely what we were looking for – an introduction to the Vault record that draws you in with ear candy.” Jones continues, “Because of  Jill’s early roots in poetry and hip hop, there should be no surprises about the mixtape format, but it’s great how he’s sonically branded the idea that these songs are gems from the Hidden Beach Vault.”

In addition to the first single “Lovely Day,” Jill’s version of the Bill Wither’s Grammy® winning classic, other selections on  Just Before Dawn (Tony Nuccio’s Vault Mixtape) include “Dear Mr & Mrs. Record Industry (Intro), “The Light,” “I'm Prettier”, “Wondering Why”, “Running Away”, “I Don't Know”, “Love To Love”, “Lovely Day”, “Holdin' On”, “Comes To The Light”, “And I Heard…”and “Wake Up Baby.” The mixtape can be found as a bonus with the purchase of the single at www.hiddenbeach.com or streamed via video at Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB0VXFv5pW0 For more on Tony Nuccio visit www.tonynuccio.com
