You know what I really miss since this whole pandemic started? Playing at and attending the great Deep House underground parties that we had here in Los Angeles. Those events that went on until the sun came up and wether you were on drugs or not the music would creep inside of you and just took you on this trip where  you literally dance like no one was watching. No one was cause those warehouses were so dark :) 

People who follow the show know me for playing disco, edits and boogie shaking House but my love has always been in underground Deep House. Back in the days, here in the city (also in Miami, NY, San Francisco, Montreal, Paris, etc) I used to play a lot of unannounced undergrounds and this episode is a pretty indicative on what I used to bring to the musical (turn) table. If you've never attended any of those underground where I was a guest you might be surprised by this set. Let me know if you dig it since I've only touched the surface of the underground deep I have in my crates.

Tracklist

The NDYD Radio Show EP196

Ricardo Torres is a West Coast DJ whose sound blends deep, soulful house and disco with the smooth, sun-kissed energy of Los Angeles. His mixes are crafted for true dance floor devotees—uplifting, groovy, and deeply rooted in the underground.

Ricardo began his DJ journey in 1987 at a college radio station in Montreal, later discovering Chicago House and falling in love with its raw emotion and rhythm. After moving to Los Angeles in 1995, he found inspiration in the city’s soulful spirit and from influential DJs like Jay-J, Marques Wyatt, Julius Papp, Mark Farina, and Miguel Migs.

An early pioneer of online mix sharing in 2000, Ricardo quickly gained international recognition, leading to global performances and radio syndication. In 2016, he partnered with Germany’s Nu Disco Your Disco (NDYD) to launch the NDYD Radio Show, a weekly showcase of modern Nu Disco and soulful house that continues to attract a devoted worldwide audience.

Across decades and evolving trends, Ricardo’s mission remains the same: to share music that uplifts, connects, and celebrates the enduring groove of house. The NDYD Radio Show airs live every Saturday on d3ep.com—1 PM in Los Angeles, 3 PM in Chicago, 4 PM in New York, 9 PM in London, and 6 AM Sunday in Sydney—bringing the West Coast vibe to listeners around the globe.
