Welcome to the second part of NDYD's best of 2023. Today is holiday in the US (MLK day) and I had the day off work so I was able to record this 4 hour smix. Just like part 1 this set contains another 50 of the best tracks that were played on the show in 2023.  As I noted on the part 1, these are not necessarily tracks that came out last year, some go back more than that, but they were all played in at least one episode of 2023.

You check out part 1 here: https://soundcloud.com/ndyd-rs/ndyd-327

I might do a part 3 in the not too distant future as these are just the tip of the iceberg.  Thank you for been  part of the NDYD family by listening every week and see you on the next one with a new episode. Enjoy!

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.
