Let's GO !! ! !  ❤️‍🔥 ❤️‍🔥

I am still buzzing and coming down from last weekend's trip to San Francisco where a friend and I attended the Remedy reunion in the city. I got so inspired by experiencing Julius Papp, Mr. V, David Harness, Jay-J, Miguel Migs, amd Mark Farina all under one roof and back to back that I couldn't wait to get back and record a new episode. These guys had a huge influence on my musical direction when I moved to LA in the mid to late 90s and some of them even became close friends.

I felt I had to dig little deeper in the crates for this episode to honor these guy's talent and legacy. Hence, EP-249 :)

Catch the show on d3ep.com every Monday at 4pm PST.

The NDYD Radio Show EP249

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.
