Well here it is. The last NDYD Radio Show for the year. I'm not mad that that 2018 is over. It's been an eventful one. I am so grateful that I'm still here surrounded by my family, friends (who are also my fam), and also YOU the listener. Thank you for sticking with and believing in me. All those messages and love certainly helped in my recovery and to return behind the decks.

As dark as this year has been, a bright light has shone for me at the end and nothing will make me dim it. 

I leave you with this last set which takes me back to my club roots and my love for straight up House Music. Happy New Year and here's to a glorious 2019 for everyone.

I'm just a girl who adores Deep House. This music will always be in my heart ❤️ and it will never die!!! ❤️😊

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.
