get to hands of ma man...this next beat drop 🌈🇻🇳

This set was recorded on Halloween almost two weeks ago but I am putting out today because the program had guests already scheduled to play.  Both of the last two guests, Pepper and Alex Hook, raised the bar again on the quality of the NDYD Show so hopefully this live recording will live up to it.

Some of you might remember that I had the opportunity on Halloween to warm up for my friend and producer extraordinaire Miguel Migs (@miguelmigs1) in Hollywood. I am honored that it's Miguel that asked for me to be added to the lineup and set the mood for the night. Honored that he thought that my selections would be a good fit with him and his style. The truth is that his musical style has influenced my sets for years. Full circle really. I had an absolute  blast playing that night and the music was incredible all night long. Hopefully this will give you a small glimpse on how it went.

Enjoy!

The NDYD Radio Show  EP276 - Ricardo live from Station 1640

Last week's yacht lounge didn't sink but it sure ended up in deep waters this week - 2 hours of melodic Deep House waters.  With artists who embody the genre like Saison, Sebb Junior, Nathan G, Kevin Yost and so many more including a brand new track that will be out soon by my buddy Julius Papp  on Salted Music. I love it when Julius goes back to his Deep House roots like he did here. Get your scuba gear ready and let's go!

Catch the show every Monday on d3ep.com at 3pm PST. Enjoy and see you next week.

The NDYD Radio Show EP279 - The DEEP End vol. 1

Here it is. The last NDYD Radio Show for the year. Next weekend is Christmas and the weekend after NYD so the show will be taking a break until 2023. Not to worry though because you will get your money’s worth with EP 281. This episode clock’s in at 3 hours (!) so plenty of new music to keep you grooving til New Year’s when I am planning to return with a best of 2022 episode. Heck, this episode is good to go for your personal NYE House party because it’s pack with feel good Disco. I’m not talking about cheesy Disco that you hear at your friend’s wedding but proper House Disco that takes over you and guides you to the dance floor. This is not a coincidence because after attending the amazing LA performance from Dimitri from Paris last weekend in DTLA I’ve been dying to do a full proper Disco set for the show and that is what EP281 delivers. Amazing modern Disco artists like The Shapeshifters, Louie Vega, Dr Packer, David Morales, my evil twin Mark Brickman, and so many more make an appearance in the last show of the year.  

Another reason why this episode is heavily Disco influenced is because of an event I am playing for on NYD called DISKO BRUNCH here in Hollywood on January 1. I have the honor to share the decks with an amazing roster of artists like Tube & Berger, Colette, Mark London, Big Cee and more. It’s an NYD brunch so there will be food, drinks and DISKO! 

If you are in LA on January 1st come join us if you survived the night before.

Follow https://www.instagram.com/worldwidepresents/ for all the details on the event. 

See you in 2023 and hopefully at Disko Brunch.

The NDYD Radio Show EP281 - the DISKO episode

I know I said EP-281 was going to be the last episode for 2022 but I have a few days off work, I received some amazing new promos this week, and I just wanted to return to some Deep House after the last long Disco episode and I am definitely finishing the year with a deep dive on this EP-282.  So, for real this time the last episode of 2022. Next one will prob be my live set for the day party gig I am playing at on the 1st of 2023 or my recap of my favorite 2022 tunes of the past year. Maybe the other way around. No matter cause the music won't stop :)

Happy New Year ya all and see you in 2023!

The NDYD Radio Show EP282

First set for 2023! and so far it's my best of the year ha ha. All jokes aside I am really happy how this live recording from Station 1640 turned out. I got to play my favorite genres and bring energy to the dance floor on this first day of 2023. Day parties are really turning out to be my favorite. Maybe it has something to do with getting older. I also found out what this day drinking craze is all about. Quality tequila works in the daytime too ;) So does quality House Music and this first (live) episode of the year is full of it. I had so much fun playing and starting the year doing my favorite thing in the world.  Hoping you will also enjoy the music as much as the heads on the dance floor did.

Happy New Year dear listeners. Here we go again!

The NDYD Radio Show EP283 - Ricardo live from Disko Brunch Hollywood - NYD 2023

I wasn't planning to do a follow up to 'Deep End' so soon but I have had a few requests since vol 1 and I can't seem to get my head out of the deep house waters :) So, here it is vol 2 with the same moody underground feel as vol 1. This will set will be at home in the middle of the night at a dark underground or simply while you are getting work done or driving to your destination. Let's get Deep! - again.

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

The NDYD Radio Show EP284 - The DEEP End vol. 2

Another week another NDYD Radio Show. This episode borders that underground Garage sound that some people call 'deep house' but y'all know its roots. Def House Music for Adults.

Enjoy.

The NDYD Radio Show EP285

Welcome back to the NDYD Radio Show as we return this week with some of the top and newer tracks from amazing artists such as Kings of Tomorrow (KOT), Saison, Richard Earnshaw, Fouk and many more. The stand out track in this episode is from an artist that I have shared the decks with before and who is one of the nicest human in this scene - the amazing and talented @djcolette. I am also privileged to call her a friend for many years. Colette has earn her place in modern House Music history as a producer, vocalist, and a DJ. Her new interpretation of the classic song from The Police 'Message in a Bottle' is the Bee's Knees and with remixes by Demarkus Lewis, Pete Moss, and Local Options it just solidifies it as a staple of a DJ set.

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

The NDYD Radio Show EP286

We took a detour last week with the third installment of the Yacht Lounge series so it felt appropriate for this week to revisit the DEEP end and give it its third volume. Nothing but Deep House from some of the current best deep producers out there. Keep your head above water and enjoy.

The NDYD Radio Show EP290 - The DEEP End vol. 3

Obviously the title of this EP gives you a hint of what you will hear in this new episode. The title is not a coincidence though because that is the name of the event in which my buddy, @djdavidbullock, and myself will playing at all night B2B at the super club Exchange in DTLA this Saturday March 26. Our mission on this night is to only play tracks from the 70s and 80s but not the originals - only edits and reinterpretations of those songs. Very much like you will hear in this episode.

If you are in Los Angeles this weekend then come join us. Yes, I am threatening you with a good time. 

Tickets for the event at http://exchangela.com/tm90s

Hope to see you there and if you can't make it this set will def give you the vibe that we will be going for. Enjoy!

Catch the show every Monday on d3ep.com at 4PM PST.

The NDYD Radio Show EP292 - The TIME MACHINE episode

We are inching closer and closer to the magic number 300 in terms of episodes. That is a lot of music if you have been following the show since it started in 2016.

Next week, I am taking a break (ie there won't be a show). This is because for the first time in over 5 years I will go to visit my hometown of Montreal to see my family. I'll be gone for 10 days so unless I get my hands on some decks while there this episode (with the other 300 or so before) will have to hold you up for the next two weeks.

As  always, enjoy and catch the show every monday on d3ep.com. See you back when I return from Montréal.

The NDYD Radio Show EP294

The music of West Coast DJ, Ricardo Torres can best be described as a blend of deep, soulful house, and disco inflected with the particular sound of the west coast vibe, sultry and smooth. He plays the music that  heads love to dance to; confident that when the music flows from hands that loves the underground it can be an uplifting, groovy and sexy experience.

Ricardo has been on a quest to achieve that perfect mix ever since his first chance encounter at the turntables, in 1987 at his college radio station in Montreal, Canada. His first 12" records were from the Industrial Electronic Music of that time.  Shortly thereafter in 1988, he was first introduced to House Music. Ricardo quickly changed his direction and followed the early days of Chicago House.  He moved towards this style of music since he found it to have a new and unfamiliar energy within itself.

In 1995 Ricardo, moved to Los Angeles, a city basking in sunrays and radiating the good vibes he himself perpetuated. And here, Ricardo discovered the funky, soulfulness of the west coast sound.  Many of his early heroes such as Jay-J, Marques Wyatt, Julius Papp, Mark Farina, Miguel Migs, and others gave him the desire to gravitate towards this deeper, more soulful West Coast style.

While still a local Los Angeles DJ, Ricardo - inspired by his love for this genre-decided early on in the year 2000 to post his mixes online to share with the world. This was fairly new and innovative at the time. This act of sharing his musical vision without prejudice or limitations caused him to be sought after to play his brand of house music in cities all over the world. He continues to offer up his masterful mixes, as host of syndicated radio shows online as well as on satellite radio in the USA.

Within the recent past Ricardo joined forces with Nu Disco Your Disco out of Germany for representation and affiliation. This modern Nu Disco sound, to him, is the perfect way to bring that West COast vibe into the future and the new generation. Since NDYD has been a pioneer in bringing the Nu Disco genre to the masses in Europe he felt that they would be the perfect partner for doing the same in North America with their established brand. Hence, the syndicated NDYD Radio Show was born.  The show has been on the air for over a year now and besides Ricardo hosting and DJing it every week, some of the best talent in the industry and from all over the planet have been guest DJs and taken over the show. The loyal following keeps growing episode after episode. 

Underground music trends and styles have changed since Ricardo played his first vinyl record all those years ago but what hasn't changed is that he just loves playing music that inspires the heads to get up and dance!
