A special guest mix this week from one of our favorite collaborator of the show, @ajax-6

in his own words:

"It's that time of year again, and I couldn't be happier to present something a little different for the show.  Originally I had something else in the works but ultimately decided to bring forth my LIVE recorded set from when Ricardo visited Seattle back in January and I had the pleasure of opening for the legend @ The Monkey Loft!  Once a year for the past 8 years I've been lucky enough to bring my friend north to rock crowds and I thought, "he's not the only one that can record a set."  :)  Hope you all enjoy, I'm already looking forward to Ricardo's next Seattle return!'

Enjoy! I certainly did when I was there and can't wait to do it again with my Seattle brother.

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.
