On the weekend of July 1st I had the opportunity, once again, to do a guest mix for the radio show 'In A Dream with Mystic Pete' on LA's local radio station 88.9 FM KXLU. I think this was my 3rd guest mix for Pete's show and I took a bit of a familiar detour with this one. All previous mixes I did for KXLU were underground and Deep House so for this one I decided to give them a taste of the Yacht  series. Yacht Rock was the goal but the edits I played were leaning a lot more 'Psyrock'. I am really happy how it turned out so now that it aired on 88.9 KXLU I am putting it up here as episode 347 of the NDYD Radio Show. 

Enjoy!

The NDYD Radio Show  EP347 - KXLU Los Angeles Guest Mix July 1, 2024

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.

In 1989, The house music scene was fresh and new in Los Angeles and was starting to get a big following. DJ Fido was immediately hooked on house music and began to play house, Chicago house, Acid House and hip House. He found inspiration from underground house music and strived to bring this genre to the masses in LA.  Fido has a flare for hitting the dance floors with house classics mixed in with groovin house beats.  Dj Fido represents underground House and is passionate about this music.  DJ Fido is also a House Music producer, he has recently released a single on Good For Records in collaboration with Kenny Summit called "Love in the Shadows."  The track has been described as a bangin disco groovin throwback!  
 
DJ Fido has played some of the biggest underground style clubs including the World Famous, Flammable Liquid which he helped produce with  BaBaLu. This club was one of the most sought after by underground club goers since Flammable Liquid was on the cutting edge with the best house music and house DJs including DJ Doc Martin, Barry Weaver, Steve Loria, Mark Lewis, Marques Wyatt and of course DJ Fido.  DJ Fido and Doc Martin were the resident DJ's at Flammable Liquid!   

DJ Fido had also been sought out by other promoters from other cities outside of California.  He has played at major club events in Seattle along with Brian Lyons (Flammable Seattle) Don Glaude, Jam and Spoon, Eugene Fauntelroy and DJ Eva to name a few.  

He continues to play in Los Angeles at various events, along with Kenny Summit, Lars Behrenroth, Jason Blakemore, Scott K, Bret Wallace, Dougal, Brett Wallace, Jaymystic, Slick DaDa, Big Cee, Scotty James and many more.   

Fido continues to bring that underground house flavor to the people and will make you groove to his music.
