I don't even know how to start this 'description' as it has been so long. Either way I'm not going to bore you with what happened in the last year or so but some of the regular listeners are aware that I am very lucky to still be doing the show and just to be here.  All that matters now is that I am back and this time for good. Meaning you will get the WEEKLY shows again.

Thank you to all those that have stuck by me. I know I have a lot of catching up to and I will with new episodes and of course the fantastic guest DJs that will continue to grace the decks.

EP-171 starts with a little tribute to one of my favorite House Music Divas, Kim English. We lost Kim on April 2nd, 2019 but her music will stay timeless and will keep her memory alive. I remember going to House Clubs in NYC in the 90s and dancing to her music into the wee hours of the morning. Her music always made me smile and put me in a good mood.  Starting this episode with Kim English made me go back to my House roots as I will always be a "House Head". But don't think I've given up on Edits, Nu Disco, Deep House or even Yacht Rock. Those styles of show will be coming up in the next few episodes. The NDYD Show does not get stuck only in one genre. The show's 'genre' is simply good music. 

Enjoy and see you next week for our next installment.

Tracklist

The NDYD Radio Show EP-171

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.
