The NDYD Radio Show has been blessed so far in 2022 with amazing talented artists gracing our decks. The last two guests (@soundsbyyissel and @pepper_playhouse) were super talented veterans of the show making their return but now we have a new addition to the family. I met Cara (@djmsmonday) at a gig in Hollywood where we were both playing and after hearing her set I invited her right away to come play for us. This is her first appearance on the program and after I heard the mix she did for us the first thing on my mind was 'we need this artist back on the show'. Now it's your turn to feel Miss Monday's musical energy everyday this week, not just on Monday  - sorry couldn't help it ;)

The NDYD Radio Show EP242 - Guest Mix by Miss Monday

I'm just a girl who adores Deep House. This music will always be in my heart ❤️ and it will never die!!! ❤️😊

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.

Born in Ahmedabad, a Metropolitan city of
Gujarat, India. If I was inside the house, you
would find me sitting next to the radio until I got
a hold of tapes that my uncle brought from
America of all the 80s hits and that's where I
became a fan of Disco and Michael Jackson.

Finally when our family moved to a suburban city
of Riverside in California, USA in 1995, I had my
eyes opened to a whole different world of music
and culture. They had moved on from the Moon
Walking Michael Jackson to the C-Walking
Snoop Dogg. Even though I didn't understand
any of the slang, Hip-Hop was what exposed me
to the lifestyle of my new home. 

My roots always
drew me to what I grew up with but I found a
happy medium in artists such as Bally Sagoo
which opened the road to the all the Punjabi
music. As soon as I found the power of the
internet and Napster, I started downloading all
different types of music and creating mixtapes
and playing them at all the family parties and
gatherings. It's all history now.
