Ricardo Villalobos

Dance Department is een radioprogramma op het Nederlandse radiostation Radio 538. De show begon medio 1993 onder de leiding van Wessel van Diepen. In eerste instantie duurde het programma tot 22.00 uur, maar later werd dit verlengd tot middernacht. De laatste uitzending met Wessel als presentator was op 7 oktober 2006. Sindsdien is Dennis Ruyer het gezicht van Dance Department. Dennis was daarvoor al actief binnen de crew van Dance Department.

Dance Department was iedere zaterdagavond en -nacht te horen van 20.00 tot 4.00 uur (het deel tussen middernacht en 4.00 uur heet Dance Department In The Mix). Regelmatig wordt het programma gepresenteerd vanaf een dance-evenement in Nederland. Ook schuiven iedere week verschillende gasten aan in de studio. De studio van waaruit het programma wordt uitgezonden staat ook wel bekend als De Bunker.

Dance Department heeft een eigen podcast met daarin de meest recente dance-releases en een mix, die elke week wordt verzorgd door een andere gast-dj. Op 24 augustus 2011 maakte Radio 538 bekend dat zij alle podcasts terug zou trekken, omdat men door veranderde regelgeving niet langer de podcasts gratis mocht aanbieden. Radio 538 zou voor haar podcasts (o.a. Dance Department en de Powermix) beduidend meer moeten gaan betalen aan Buma/Stemra. Per februari 2012 kostte het abonnement op deze podcast daarom € 5,38 per jaar.

Verder was Dance Department ook te zien op TV 538 van 20.00 tot 23.00 uur. Vanaf 14 september 2013 kwam Dance Department In The Mix te vervallen en werd vervangen door verschillende mixprogramma's.

Sinds 11 januari 2014 werd Dance Department niet meer live uitgezonden, maar werden alle mixen, danceplaten en de uitspraken van Dennis Ruyer van tevoren aan elkaar gemonteerd. Vanaf mei 2014 werd Dance Department niet meer op TV 538 uitgezonden. Op dit tijdslot werd nonstop danceplaten afgespeeld.

Sinds 1 juni 2019 begon Dance Department een uur later en duurde de uitzending nog maar twee uur (21.00 tot 23.00 uur).

Ricardo Villalobos returns on Raum Musik with his second solo single for our label. This time time both sides are featuring other artists though. The A Side is based on a sample, taken from the track called "Buffalo Demon' which is from the album - Miniatures' by the duo Alog, that was originally released on Rune Grammofon in 2005. On the B side Ricardo is featuring his friend Jorge Gonzalez, the former lead singer, main songwriter and sole composer of the Chilean band Los Prisioneros that is currently the frontman of Los Updates. The result is a very nice EP and we are quite happy with this release.

Villalobos Feat. Jorge Gonzalez - Who Are You?

s an auditory journey that explores the balance between precise structures and invisible tensions in a cold, energetic landscape. Each track reflects a phase shift, where the music transforms and fragments like a crystal in constant evolution. Influenced by brutalist architecture, the EP combines the vastness of the poles with sonic distortion, creating a hypnotic flow of latent energy. It’s an auditory experience where each sound dissolves and reorganizes in infinite cycles.

Reboot takes another slice from his recent album ‘aLIVE’ out for a walk. This time it’s ‘Are You Losing My Mind?’. First we’re treated to the vinyl version full of everything we loved from the original. A stripped down tech house beat sprinkled with a might vocal hymn and plenty of groove. Then Ricardo takes over the track with his own very particular style. He’s made two distinct versions, ‘Hauswiedermischung’ is first. As he’s known to do, Villalobos created a kind of chaos in which the track lives without ever losing the groove and with plenty of little surprises to discover throughout. Next is Ricardo’s twenty four minute ‘Losing my Miles’ remix, and here is where he really loosens the grip on the track and lets it wander in and out of coherence, taking it and us along for a special ride that only Ricardo can deliver. From beginning to end, you don’t know what to expect but you know it when it comes. Get it, press play, and lose your mind.
