Last week's guest mix by Pepper totally inspired me to do a volume 2 of the Yacht Rock edition. I did promise to make another one in that style and it was due. For some reason these series are really popular with the listeners, so I oblige. Last week's track selection from our guest was so good that I couldn't just stand by and be a Pisco to her Pepper - she will get :) I had to follow the lead she left us with. Will there be a volume 3?  Maybe. But this set, like the tracks in it, won't get old or go out of style anytime soon so let's go sailing.

"They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills" - love that line from The Eagles (track 17 BTW)

The NDYD Radio Show EP251 -  Yacht Rock vol 2

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.
