We're joined on the platform this week by one of the most prominent and recognisable labels in the Nu-Disco scene today, Tropical Disco Records.

Responsible for a prolific amount of music over the last 6 to 7 years, the label has gone from strength to strength under the guidance of label co-bosses Moodena and Sartorial. You'll find them out and about at their residency at Number 90 in Hackney Wick, London as well headlining with the legend that is Grant Nelson in Leeds in early June 2023.

Moodena & Sartorial deliver us a label takeover for hour 2 of the show, with a front to back tracklist of both released, unreleased and forthcoming material from the label.

The NDYD Show

tracklist

The NDYD Radio Show EP293

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

Did you think I would go play at a festival without my recorder? NEVER! Here is my set from the Junkyard stage at Lighting in a Bottle. I had to opportunity to play on the closing day of the festival and I had an absolute blast. Thank you to @patricio_la, who will be a guest soon on the show, and the Do Lab crew for having me grace the decks.

Enjoy and see you next week for EP300 (!!) with a familiar special guest ;)

Catch the show every Monday at 3pm PST on d3ep.com

The NDYD Radio Show EP299 - Ricardo live from LIB - May 28, 2023

Holy sh** we've surpassed 300 episodes! FIrst thing first, a huge thank you to NDYD label boss @krissantiago for blessing us last week with that milestone episode. It kind set the bar for the next episodes with that proper dance floor feel. EP-301 tries to continue with the tone that Kris set and keeps you on the dance floor - or dancing while you clean your house, or driving, or working, or whatever it is you are doing and need some motivation. Plenty of new fire that aims at making you groove.

This episode is also a preview of next weekend where I have the opportunity to return to the shoreline stage at the Day Trip festival in Long Beach. I will be sharing the stage with two of my closest friends @djdavidbullock and @jask-thaisoul. Also on the lineup is one of my favorite producers and DJ - @mr-v-official. The festival is sold out so if you got tickets consider yourself lucky.

Next week, while I'm in Long Beach, we have a returning artist who is one of the OG guest we had on the program 7 years ago (EP-80). I heard his current set and I promise it will be a treat that continues this ready for the dance floor trend.

Catch the show online every Monday at 3pm PST on d3ep.com

Enjoy and see you next week with that special guest.

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.
