Part 2 of Yacht Disco is here! A tad early. That is because this weekend I will be attending the Day Trip Festival in Long Beach so I won't have time to record it then. I am actually playing on Saturday at the festival on the Shoreline Stage from 2 to 3:30 pm. Then Sunday I will be there all day to see and hear the headliners of that day.

I want to thank @djmartintaylor for giving us another great guest mix last week which actually gave me a chance to re-work part 2 of Yacht Disco. It was already recorded but during the week I got my hands on new music that was appropriate for it and it gave me the chance to extend it. I don't think you will mind :)

Catch the show every Monday on d3ep.com at 4pm PST and as always enjoy this boat ride.

The NDYD Radio Show EP256 - Yacht Disco Part 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.

Recently, 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.

I Love Deep House, Financial Coaching & Digital Business

DJ / Owner / Operator / Selector / Collector / Seeker Of Good Music for Vinyl Department, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.

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.

DENN FRANCISCO

For some..Then there was house. But for Denn Francisco it has always been house..In love from a young age from the seductive sounds of Balearic house in the sun to deep and tech house in the club. Rising up amongst a barrage of memorable genres in dance music, the passion laid potent labeling him as one of Melbourne’s genuine house music legitimacies in more ways than one. 

House music has welcomed some of the industry’s most groundbreaking icons into its humble family, bringing it with it new talent everyday like Denn Francisco. The last eight years has dictated the way he has preached a musical way of life. Influenced by the roots of David Penn, Dj Chus, Luciano, Copyright, Erick Morillo and Kings of Tomorrow, the raw beauty of the music has taught him how to ride the journey one beat at a time. Strong to his word, he seizes the world of music that exerts pure emotion sharing with fellow house music romantics a love of what music really delivers- soul and integrity. 

From Eric Prydz to the sunshine synths of Switzerland’s leading lady Dinka, Denn Francisco can call house music his home bringing it back to basics with a core of evident inspirations. Taken back by the genuine calling of the globe’s hottest but most respected artists, he shares it all in Melbourne with his enviable residency at Alumbra and Fabrique, while the exclusive appearance at Boutique, Motel and Seven is always one for the hit list. Its not just Melbourne who is undeniably lucky to experience the Denn Francisco aura, but clubs around the world too! With appearances at The Hall and Astron in Greece’s capital Athens, this artist is one for the world!

Regularly drawing on his trots of the globe, he shares a radiating passion in the studio with a love for the production tip grasping sounds from east west and north to south. The last three years has seen Melbourne’s house chaperone embrace the sound he endorses most with his monthly podcasts that cannot be missed, from house sessions to the nitty gritty underground available on iTunes and Soundcloud.

With the sun in his eyes and a tune not far behind, its Denn Francisco who will be responsible for the musical experience you’re bound to never forget.
