Welcome to EP132 of the NDYD Radio Show. We have a very special guest and friend this week out of Australia. One of our favorite producers, CASUAL CONNECTION (@casual-connection) aka Lukasz Ru-Kasu.

Nostalgia with a twist - Casual Connection brings a freshness to the disco, funk & RnB gems that he so expertly curates. Sampling, editing and re-working classic tracks, his productions are respectful of their origination while bringing something modern and inventive to create a genuine and unique signature sound.

Since he started producing, Casual Connection has been named in Traxsource's Top 100 Nu Disco artists for 3 consecutive years alongside heavyweights like Dimitri From Paris, Purple Disco Machine, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Crazy P, Dr Packer & more. His releases have charted numerous times in the top 10 on Beatport, Traxsource and Juno, and he has been featured in DJ Mag, DJ City and Warner Music’s Cool Accidents.

In a time where we can all be guilty of taking life too seriously, Casual Connection is making music that can't help but put a smile on your face and a swing in your hips. Get your dancefloors ready, because we're about to have ourselves a real good time.

The NDYD Radio Show EP132 - guest mix by CASUAL CONNECTION - Australia

Ricardo Torres, a West Coast DJ, is known for blending deep, soulful house and disco with a smooth, sultry West Coast vibe. His music is crafted for true dance music enthusiasts, delivering uplifting, groovy, and sexy experiences rooted in the underground scene.

Ricardo’s DJ journey began in 1987 at a college radio station in Montreal, Canada, where he initially spun industrial electronic music. By 1988, he was introduced to Chicago House and was captivated by its fresh energy, changing his musical direction. In 1995, he moved to Los Angeles, where the city’s sun-drenched, soulful vibe and influences from DJs like Jay-J, Marques Wyatt, Julius Papp, Mark Farina, and Miguel Migs drew him toward the deeper West Coast sound.

In 2000, Ricardo pioneered sharing his mixes online, a bold and innovative step that garnered him international recognition. This exposure led to global performances and opportunities, while he also became a syndicated radio host on satellite and online platforms.

Around 2016 Ricardo partnered with Germany’s Nu Disco Your Disco (NDYD), a leading advocate for the Nu Disco genre. Their collaboration birthed the NDYD Radio Show, which Ricardo hosts weekly, showcasing top global talent and steadily growing a loyal listener base. For Ricardo, Nu Disco offers a modern bridge for the soulful West Coast vibe to resonate with newer generations.

While underground music trends have evolved over the decades, Ricardo’s passion remains unwavering: playing music that inspires people to get up, dance, and celebrate the timeless groove of house music.
