Welcome to EP-173 of the NDYD Radio Show. This week we have a very special guest taking over the show all the way from the UK, DJ Martin Taylor - https://soundcloud.com/djmartintaylor

I had to pleasure to meet Martin a few years ago on a plane. He was on his way back home, to the UK, from his vacation and I was heading to Prague for the start of my vacation. We were both flying out of LA and coincidently sat next to each other. We started to chat and quickly realized that we were both into the same great music and on top of that we were both DJs. Our lives had a lot more parallels so we became friends and stay in contact since.

I am so happy to finally have him on the show. The exclusive set he did for us will not disappoint you. It's been on repeat at the studio since he sent it to me.

His bio reads:

“Martin Taylor started DJing at an early age after being mentored by his father in North Wales, UK.  Alan Taylor was a renowned successful Motown, Disco, Northern Soul, Funk and Soul DJ.   Martin quickly understood the ingredients required to stand out and read the crowd well, ensuring repeat bookings kept flowing in. Even at this young age Martin was innovative and creative in his dynamic mixing skills which have since been credited by Erick Morillo in Spain, who watched Martin perform a full two hour set.  As Martin hit teenager status he had already established himself at the local clubs as promising future talent. This recognition opened up a multitude of gigs and events all over England and Wales which led to solo appearances at events in Puerto Banus, Detroit, Liverpool, Ibiza, Bahrain, Birmingham, Cyprus, Singapore London and Abu Dhabi to name a few.   Martin was also hand picked to become a resident DJ for a brand new Ministry of Sound super club in Asia, which included a full-time residency at the world's first Hed Kandi bar, famed for its chic and glamorous decor.

Martin remains at the forefront of the Disco-House scene, championing exceptional music and boasts a huge library of rare gems and forgotten classics.

He is influenced by the likes of Def Mix, Hacienda UK, Ministry of Sound, Soul Heaven, Studio 54, Paradise Garage, Glitterbox, LDF, Z Records, Pacha and Soulfuric, amongst many other brands and labels”

So yes, I would say Martin has the professional chops. You will no doubtedly realize that in the first 15 minutes of the program. Enjoy and let's dance!

The NDYD Radio Show EP173 - guest mix by Martin Taylor - UK

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.
