Continuing with the 'Yacht' series of mixes we now dip our dancing toes into the Disco realm. But this is not your parents cheesy Disco. You won't find any Funkytown or any Village People's tracks in this episode. We will leave that for your friend's wedding. Most of what makes this episode are edits of the less commercial songs from that era including some original newer songs that fall in that category. 

I originally had picked about 40 tracks that flowed very nicely for this episode but instead I decided to split it in two parts. Part 2 is already recorded and it will be EP255 next week. I will let you digest Part 1 first so you will know what to expect when it goes up. Enjoy.

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

The NDYD Radio Show EP254 - Yacht Disco Part 1

Ricardo Torres is a West Coast DJ whose sound blends deep, soulful house and disco with the smooth, sun-kissed energy of Los Angeles. His mixes are crafted for true dance floor devotees—uplifting, groovy, and deeply rooted in the underground.

Ricardo began his DJ journey in 1987 at a college radio station in Montreal, later discovering Chicago House and falling in love with its raw emotion and rhythm. After moving to Los Angeles in 1995, he found inspiration in the city’s soulful spirit and from influential DJs like Jay-J, Marques Wyatt, Julius Papp, Mark Farina, and Miguel Migs.

An early pioneer of online mix sharing in 2000, Ricardo quickly gained international recognition, leading to global performances and radio syndication. In 2016, he partnered with Germany’s Nu Disco Your Disco (NDYD) to launch the NDYD Radio Show, a weekly showcase of modern Nu Disco and soulful house that continues to attract a devoted worldwide audience.

Across decades and evolving trends, Ricardo’s mission remains the same: to share music that uplifts, connects, and celebrates the enduring groove of house. The NDYD Radio Show airs live every Saturday on d3ep.com—1 PM in Los Angeles, 3 PM in Chicago, 4 PM in New York, 9 PM in London, and 6 AM Sunday in Sydney—bringing the West Coast vibe to listeners around the globe.
