There are so many positive things I could say about our guest this week because I ABSOLUTELY love this guy and the friendship we have. He is one of the OGs and alumni of the radio show since it's early days. It's not a coincidence that I am putting out his guest set early because him and I are headlining this coming Saturday at the super club Supernova in beautiful Seattle. One of my favorite places in the world to play. If you are in The City of Goodwill this weekend please join us because the night will be epic. Ajax has given a beautiful preview and taste of what will incur. With his permission, I will copy and paste the note he send me when he forward me the mix which describes beautifully what the mix is about:

"Here we are, a year later after my Alumni Mix and it's already time for my Masters Degree!  It's with great pleasure I present my 6th mix for NDYD Show!  Like every time when given the opportunity to play for the show, I feel like the show always gets the absolute best out of me, and the time & space I currently occupy with my music tastes and preferences.  With the last year playing so often for Fridays at Supernova, and Fridays being a 90's-2000's hit night, this mix is slammed with 90's and early 2000's remixed goodness:)  Thank you again Ricardo, I'm really looking forward to this Saturday with you and dominating Supernova like we always do!"

 I couldn't have said it better myself. Catch the show every Monday on d3ep.com at 4pm PST, Enjoy and see you in Seattle on Saturday the 23rd!

Also make sure you give him some love on

The NDYD Show

The NDYD Radio Show EP260 - guest mix by aJaX

I'm just a girl who adores Deep House. This music will always be in my heart ❤️ and it will never die!!! ❤️😊

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.
