Still going strong! Been listening since 2005!

this is mix is timeless thank you from Greece!

Can I have an ID on this cool track?It might be wrong one on that tracklist.

We made it. Episode 200!  I've been doing online radio shows since the early 2000s and I think NDYD is the first to make it to 200.  There is only one reason for that. You guys. If it wasn't for the fans and listeners of this radio show I would have stopped. The messages and support I have received from you guys (and industry people) has been amazing. Especially after my car accident in 2018. So thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Since this is a special episode it needed to be well, 'special'. I got what I wish for cause the person who stepped up to help me cross this milestone is non other that NDYD veteran and especially very, very good friend Cloak Dagger (@cloakdaggernyc) out of New York City. 

His bio reads:

A permanent fixture in Manhattan’s chic hotel lounge and loft scene displaying an eclectic array of DJ residencies from the opulence of The W Hotel in Times Square to the stylish boutique NoMo SoHo and the swanky Art Deco infused Ophelia Rooftop in midtown Manhattan. 

On the production side of the coin. Cloak is a resident curator for German based label NDYD alongside his own boutique edit and rework series Noc Boots. Cloak has released music under Midnight Riot, Claude Challe select series, Bastard Jazz recordings and the Timewarp label. His latest single “Cut Me Open” is out now on Spotify and all good digital streaming sites!

Luke, his wife Drea and his entire beautiful family are some of the nicest people I have met in the industry and they have become friends for life.  I can't wait for us to play together again.

Please enjoy this very special episode and here is to at least another 200 more.

Tracklist

The NDYD Radio Show EP200 - guest mix by Cloak Dagger - NYC

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.
