The NDYD Radio Show Guest Mixes

The NDYD Radioshow ( @ndyd-rs ) has been founded and is presented by San Francisco's Ricardo Torres, who has been a part of NDYD since the early days. 
His eagerness and motivation has had him doing the show over 2 years now (count in 2016) and he got some amazing guests in. 
Amongst those are Dr. Packer (AUS), Shit Hot Soundsytem (UK), Chuggin Edits (UK), Kris Santiago (GER), Dave Allison (CAN), Alex Hook (RUS), Get Down Edits (IRE), Dino Soccio (USA) and many more.

The show can be listened to live on D3EP Radio Network every thursday:
-GMT(London) Thursdays 5pm
-PST (Los Angeles) Thursdays 9am
-EST (New York) Thursdays 1pm
-AEST (Sydney) Thursdays 3am

* due to the fact that Soundcloud deleted Ricardo's old profile due to one of their "we kill all accounts that have mixes / copyrighted material uploaded" policy days, Ricardo had to re-upload the first, nearly 50 episodes. Hence the relatively small interaction.

The NDYD Radio Show EP60

Originally aired November 5, 2015. 

Welcome to the archive of EP-61 of the Nu Disco Your Disco Radio Show. I am super excited about this episode since it's an exclusive guest mix done for us by none other than the man they call the godfather of the West Coast House movement, Jay-J out of San Francisco. Not only was he behind some of the greatest House Music hits of the early to late 2000s on such labels as Defected, Naked Music, OM, Moulton Studios, and Shifted Music to name a few but he was also nominated for a Grammy for a Jill Scott remix he did.

He has always been one of my idols and I am very honored to call this talented producer and DJ a close friend and a mentor. I hope you enjoy his mix as much as I have. Its been on repeat at the studio.

To find out more about Jay-J follow him and give him some love on:

The NDYD Radio Show EP62

Originally aired November 19, 2015.

Welcome to the archive of EP-63 of the Nu Disco Your Disco Radio Show. This episode is mixed by a very special guest DJ and friend. NDYD's founder and label boss Mr Kris Santiago (@krissantiago). Yes, it's the same NDYD that is behind your favorite weekly radio show :)

Kris has been busy lately. Besides running the label and our music blog he has also been on remixing duties for some big name producers. Including Husky (who has been a guest on the show) and his track 'Next To You'

https://soundcloud.com/huskyrandomsoul/husky-next-to-you-ft-natalie-1

I am very happy that he found the time to do his second guest mix for the show. Kris was the first guest over a year ago. He is an excellent DJ and obviously a fantastic music selector so you won't be disappointed with this exclusive set he has done for the show. Please give him some love on:

The NDYD Radio Show EP63 - guest mix by KRIS SANTIAGO (NDYD - Germany)

Originally aired November 26, 2015.

I've been very busy these last few weeks with multiple projects. I did not have time to record a new show this week so instead I am posting a live set I did this summer for a private event for a company called SACO in New York City. The audience was very diverse so I kept the music light and mid-tempo with a lot of edits that they would recognize. Apologies for the roughness in the first few mixes but I had monitor issues. Once they fixed it it went smooth as butter :) Hey, it's live.

This is only two and half hours of the 6 hour (!) set I did. Maybe in the future I will post the rest. Next week we return with a special guest from Miami.

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.
