It's not even Christmas yet but look at the gift we received this week.

EP 325 of the NDYD Radio Show has the head honcho of NDYD -  Kris Santiago (@krissantiago) steering its wheels. Kris is one of the listeners favorite as he has graced the show's decks many times before. Those listeners, and myself, know the kind of high level talent Kris is and that he always delivers a top shelf mix. Kris is very versatile also. If you follow him you know that he excels in Disco, Nu Disco, House, edits, and even Hip Hop!

What I didn't know is that he also excels in Deep House. EP 325 could have been part of the Deep End series because the sound is sophisticated and mature. It's the kind of set with music that never gets old and that will still sound fresh years from now. 

Sit back, relax, and let the sounds of Kris Santiago take you on a trip. Enjoy and catch the show every Monday at 3pm PST on d3ep.com.

The NDYD Radio Show EP325 - guest mix by Kris Santiago

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.
