Welcome to EP214 of the NDYD Radio Show. A very special episode indeed as it was recorded this past weekend at my first live gig in over a year at a proper real super club. I had the opportunity to close off the night as the headliner at this new amazing disco/house club called Supernova in beautiful Seattle. I am at lost for words on how much fun it was and how amazing the crowd is. That goes with out saying about the promoter Zac, his staff, and friends in the Emerald City such as Ajax - @ajax-6 (who has a been a guest on the show many times) and the beautiful and wonderful people he introduced me to. With out him this experience would have never been so unforgettable. If you are ever in Seattle you have to make a stop at Supernova. Especially on the weekly night that I played at which is called 'Staying Alive' and Disco rules! Tell em' Ricardo sent you :)

Enjoy!

PS: sorry the show is a day late. I landed back home just a few hours ago and extracted the recording ASAP so I can put it up. Thanks for your patience :)

The NDYD Radio Show EP214 - Ricardo Live from Supernova Seattle - 7/17/21

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.
