The NDYD Radio Show EP238

It was a big weekend here in Los Angeles as the Super Bowl was hosted in the city and our local LA RAMS were in it. Oh, and we also WON! I'm not the biggest football fan but it was fun to watch and root for our town. Honestly, like a lot of other non football fans, I was there for one thing: to watch that halftime show. All I can say is WOW! What performance by Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, and 50cent. I felt like a high school girl from the 90s watching her favorite boy band on TV. For real, the best halftime show ever (and I also count in there Prince's 2007 performance). It was truly amazing to see those performers on stage right there in Inglewood. It was just magic. I've replayed the show a couple of times since yesterday on Youtube.

I know I said last week that I would have a special guest this week but the Super Bowl threw a monkey wrench into that. I was lucky that I recorded this show earlier this week to have something today. Everyone in town who had plans this weekend was delayed somehow. So next week, I promise to have that guest mix as things get back to normal. Thank you for understanding and enjoy this set dedicated to our LA RAMs :)

TRACKLIST

The NDYD Radio Show EP240

The Black Light Disco show launched itself into the myhouseradio.fm stratosphere one more with another classic to get your feet tappin’ and your fingers a-poppin. 

Taking control of the decks in the 'sonic sensory room' deep within BLD Towers is our resident Esteban (aka Ste Hendry), who was spinning tunes form the likes of Pete Maxey & Art of Tones, Lup Ino, Reverendos of Soul, Phonk D, Vaudafunk and D.C La Rue to name but a few. 

For the second hour, we have one of the hottest names on the scene right now on guest mix duties, someone who we’ve really been looking forward to inviting on -  Rafael Yapudjian!

Rafael Yapudjian is considered one of the great names in the Brazilian House/Disco scene and has a consistent and unique musical repertoire that brings together tracks from Soulful to Nu Disco, which incorporate sound roots from Funk and Jazz and resulting in a quite intoxicating blend for the dance floor.

A veteran of over 20 years of career, he had his first DJ residency in the former São Paulo club, Cheers, and as a result, came into the night through the booths of Vinyl and Museum, also including residency at the illustrious Pacha São Paulo, where he did many warm ups for names ranging from Louie Vega to FatBoy Slim. This opportunity opened doors for him to explore the four corners of Brazil and the world, stamping passports in Germany, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Portugal, Switzerland and Italy, to name a few.

He played at the traditional Creamfields Brasil and other major festivals, and has also won awards for 'best Deep and Soulful House DJ' by DJ Sound (2011)and 'Top 50 DJs' by House Mag and Best New DJ by VIP magazine in 2015.

Rafael is also the name behind A Casa Records and the Music Branding company D’Sound Solutions, which currently complies over 200 clients throughout Brazil. In short, he is the complete artist - always open to new sounds and constantly reinventing himself around his true passion: music.

You can check out Rafael's Bandcamp page here, which is full of goodies:

BLD 21st Feb 2022 with Esteban & Rafael Yapudjian

Another milestone for the program. Number 250! That is a lot of freakin' music available for your ears right here. I am happy also that the person who is taking us across the 250th milestone line is  someone who is becoming a regular on the show, my friend Pepper (@pepper_playhouse). She is very in tune with what the show has always been about from the beginning and this set captures that spirit no doubt. I mean Pepper had me hooked as soon as I heard the first bars of the classic 'Sugarman'  from Rodriguez(the first track)and just took me on a ride from there. 

Close your eyes and enjoy this trip as you will be hearing a lot more from Pepper on future episodes Catch the broadcast on d3ep.com every Monday at 4pm PST.

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.
