Germany’s Tilman inaugurates his new imprint Pleasant Systems this June with the ‘Adventures’ EP, featuring collaborations with Will Buck and Rhode & Brown.

Mainz, Germany based producer and DJ Tilman has been dropping his twist on contemporary house over the past decade on labels such as Shall Not Fade, Life Is For Living and Quality Vibes as well as his own Fine imprint, run in collaboration with Johannes Albert. Here though, Tilman marks a new beginning with the launch of Pleasant Systems, a new imprint designed to shine a light on vintage inspired house sounds from both himself and friends.

Up first is ‘What’s Mine Is Mine’, a collaboration with Brooklyn’s Will Buck which lays down an amalgamation of airy synth pads, choppy bass stabs, bright piano lines and enchanting flute like melodies atop a swinging drum groove. ‘Strawberry Fields’ follows, stripping things back to shuffled percussion, billowing ethereal textures and wandering sub bass tones while fluttering brass tones and resonant leads ebb and flow within.

‘Velvet Park’ opens the flip side, this time joining forces with Rhode & Brown, embracing a classic sound with raw crunchy drums, delayed piano chords, bumpy bass stabs, cinematic strings and brass hooks throughout. ‘Lovin'’ then rounds out the release, dropping the tempo, featuring the voice of Tilman himself and laying focus on off-kilter organic percussion, twinkling resonant tones, eighties tinged synth chords and g funk moog style bass to perfectly conclude Pleasant System’s debut...

Col Lawton - Deep Fix Presents: HOUSE MUSIC MATTERS (Federfunk Family Label Mix) November 2023

**LIVE RADIO SHOW RECORDING**
Welcome to episode 9 of my monthly Beyond Borders show.
Broadcasted live on NDC Radio, 9-11pm, Fri 10th November 2023

If you haven’t checked out this show before, it’s all about the underground vibes… music with emotion, energy and drive… criss-crossing the boundaries of proper house music, off the beaten track disco, global grooves and more … all selected to transport you to a dark sweaty club just like it used to be way back when 🎵😅🕺🏾

I kicked the show off with an hour of goodies dug from my vinyl and digital crates, including something beautifully leftfield from DJ Emma, a Janet Jackson dub from the legends Frankie and David, another wicked edit from Young Pulse, a late 90s garage cut from the Grant Nelson stable and loads more.

Then in part two, I handed over the controls to my good pal Faz (@stevefarrell) who has delivered a superb guest mix. This might be at a higher tempo from what we normally get from the Midnight Riot DJ, but still contains loads of uplifting jazzy disco goodness and includes several brand new promos that you will want to feast your ears on! Enjoy!

Top 23 of 2023 - Funky, Soulful & Disco House

Welcome to the NDYD Radio Show. Happy New Year to all the listeners!  As promised last week here is the 2023 compilation (and the first episode of 2024) of some of my favorite tracks that I played on the show during the year (this is only part 1). These are not necessarily tracks that came out last year, some go back almost 20 years, but they were all played in at least one episode of 2023. 

The method to my madness was that I picked 1 or 2 tracks from each of the episodes of 2023. This gave me a total of over 100 tracks which is the reason why I am breaking up the 2023 compilation into different parts to make it manageable.

This week is part 1 and next week or the week after I will upload part 2 which will be the rest. This has been a labor of love and I hope that if you are a regular listener you will recognize some of these favorites from the past episodes.

Next weekend I will be in Seattle to play at the famous Monkey Loft which is the reason why part 2 of this compilation might be up the week after but the plan is also to record my set at the Monkey Loft to include it as a future episode.

Catch the show on d3ep.com every Monday at 3pm PST (23:00 London time) and come join us in the chat room where we talk everything House. Again, Happy New Year and let's make 2024 count :)

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!

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.
