I would love to spend days looking thru your music collection. You blow my mind sometimes with these killer tracks

I cant go to bed without listening to as many of your sets as possible

Back by popular demand, the Yacht Series (specifically Yacht Lounge). If you went to high school in the 90s and you got your heart broken there for the first time then I can almost guarantee that you had the first song in this mix on repeat in your Discman. I know I did. I just couldn't stop listening to Mazzy Star. The singer of the duo, Hope Sandoval, was one of my biggest crush from those years and it's why she is on the cover. She was so beautiful and talented. The song 'Fade Into You' was engraved in my head and if CDs could be worn out like vinyl The Mazzy Star's second album, which had that song, would have been a victim of it. Besides that timeless gem there are 15 more tracks/edits such as The Eagles, Brian Ferry, Cowboy Junkies, Soul 2 Soul, and many others that should take you back to nostalgia land of the late 80s early 90s. A really nice balance of Soul, Rock and Disco that never goes over 100 bpm. Let's go sailing!

Thank you again to label boss of NDYD @krissantiago for giving us such an amazing set last week.

Catch the show on d3ep.com every Monday at 3pm PST. Enjoy and see you back next week as we return to House.

The NDYD Radio Show EP278-Yacht Lounge 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.
