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 Show

tracklist

The NDYD Radio Show EP251 -  Yacht Rock vol 2

I perform four live sets every month on Mixcloud, Twitch, Kick and Tango. I also do guest slots on radio and web if you approach me. 

On Wednesdays, I host Wiggle Wednesday, where I play Jacking House.

Thursdays are dedicated to Thursday Therapy, where I play a variety of House music, ranging from Drum and Bass to Deep House and Chill.

Fridays are for Filthy Friday, a request show where I play tunes sent to me by producers. I play all sorts of music, including new releases.

Sundays are all about Sunday Confessions, where I play Deep House, Melodic House, and Progressive House.

I do occasionally change the theme of my sets to keep things fresh.

First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to all the DJs and producers who upload their music on Soundcloud for free downloads. Many people overlook Soundcloud as a platform for discovering up-and-coming talented DJs who dedicate their time to create edits for people to enjoy. This page is not only a platform for sharing music but also a space that supports and promotes talents, giving them the love and recognition they deserve. Music has always been a means of expression and communication, and it should always remain that way. Every true music lover starts their journey on Soundcloud, and even though there are numerous platforms to download music these days, sharing and reposting music for free keeps the spirit of music alive, in my opinion. I live my life by the saying "Energy Flows Where Attention Goes," so I encourage you to repost music you discover because you never know, that one song might inspire the next generation to keep the music we love alive.

You can find me spending a lot of time on Mixcloud, so if you haven't checked it out yet, come and join me. I perform my live sets on Mixcloud.

Music is truly understood when you feel it. I spent the late 80’s and early 90s dancing all over Europe, experiencing the vibrant acid house, techno clubs, house, and trance scenes. From the iconic Love Parade in Berlin to the early raves in the UK, I have traveled extensively and have had the privilege of meeting many legends throughout the years. My passion for life has been earned, and only those with a rich soul and kindness are welcome to join me on this journey.

Some people simply listen to music, but for me, it is a deep love. Music is life in my world, and there is no better place to experience it than on a dance floor without a care in the world. Those who understand this feeling and space are always welcome to connect with me. If you are the type of person who starts dancing as soon as you put on your headphones, then you are my kindred spirit. There is nothing quite like that moment in music when a tune transports you back to a specific place and time.

I do my best to research music and save it on my likes page. So if you are looking for a particular tune or a banger, start there. I can guarantee you will find something you love. I also support DJs because they are the artisans who bring us joy through their craft. If DJs send me new tunes, I always make sure to listen to everything they send. I am not an influencer or one of those bots that seem to be everywhere these days. If I genuinely like what you produce, I will give it a like, repost, and save it for others to discover. That's enough about me; let's get back to the music. If you've made it this far reading, thank you, and remember that together we create greatness.

And to answer the question you always ask: Is that my ass? 😂 No, but I know her very well 👌🏼

Think of my likes page as an old record shop where you can spend your time discovering bangers or simply visit my monthly bangers lists.

Life is a journey of taking shit, but as you climb higher, you start taking less shit. Until one day, you find yourself in a rarefied atmosphere where you can't even remember what shit looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.

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.

Deep House, Nu-Disco, Daytime Disco, House, Tech House, Chill House, Soul, Deep Disco, G House and anything that feels good mixes.
 I have been collecting and playing House music for more than 30 + years and going to shows in Northern California and the San Francisco Bay area mostly. I believe that music connects us and music is a passion of mine without it I would wither away and die. I was listening to music on my parents headphones before I could tie my shoes and that's where the passion started.                                                
      I have a very large and vast music collection and have spent many more hours than I will admit collecting music over the years I might have an obsession with music. It's how the Music Whore came to be...  Connecting people thru music with my mixes and edits is very enjoyable and finding and sharing new music is what it's all about.                                                                             
     I like all Music but my favorite is Day time Disco, Nu-Disco, House, Deep House, Chill House, Deep Disco, Dance, Funky, Soul,  Tech House, G House, R&B, Hip Hop and Old-school but anything with a groove that just gives you those chills and that vibe that we all love  will get my attention. 

Check out all my mixes and my edits here and my other account Music Whore II on SoundCloud with older mixes that have been taken down and Mixcloud and Hearthis has Music Whore mixes  and the links are down below.
