EP-385 hits the ground running this week with  left over new tracks from last week that I didn't get a chance to play, lots of deep crate digging and some rare edits (one as premiere). The week was super busy and the tech higher ups got me on multiple projects (all fun and interesting) that I didn't even have the chance to look at new music. With a digital crate of over  20K tracks you think I would find something to play :) 

The stand out track in this episode is from a very good friend of 25 years here in LA. The guy who really turned me on to the House Music scene here in Southern California - Mr Thomas White of Natural Rhythm fame ( @natural-rhythm-music ). He reached out this week to tell me that he did a Fleetwood Mac edit/remix and if I wanted to hear it. Is the sky blue? Is the pope catholic? duh of course I wanted to  hear it! 

This confirmed to me again what I knew already - that TW is one talented mofo who is as pro as they got out there making music. I am so lucky to ghave friends like him in my life after all these years. Love that dude. Also in this episode this week another  mash/edit done by your truly in the early 2000s. I certainly don't have the talent for making music like lots of my friends do but I try :)

You can check out the tracklist link under the mix above to find out which edit that is. See you back next week with a very special returning guest that I am very excited about. Stay tuned and have a great week fam.

The NDYD Radio Show EP385

Ricardo Torres is a West Coast DJ whose sound blends deep, soulful house and disco with the smooth, sun-kissed energy of Los Angeles. His mixes are crafted for true dance floor devotees—uplifting, groovy, and deeply rooted in the underground.

Ricardo began his DJ journey in 1987 at a college radio station in Montreal, later discovering Chicago House and falling in love with its raw emotion and rhythm. After moving to Los Angeles in 1995, he found inspiration in the city’s soulful spirit and from influential DJs like Jay-J, Marques Wyatt, Julius Papp, Mark Farina, and Miguel Migs.

An early pioneer of online mix sharing in 2000, Ricardo quickly gained international recognition, leading to global performances and radio syndication. In 2016, he partnered with Germany’s Nu Disco Your Disco (NDYD) to launch the NDYD Radio Show, a weekly showcase of modern Nu Disco and soulful house that continues to attract a devoted worldwide audience.

Across decades and evolving trends, Ricardo’s mission remains the same: to share music that uplifts, connects, and celebrates the enduring groove of house. The NDYD Radio Show airs live every Saturday on d3ep.com—1 PM in Los Angeles, 3 PM in Chicago, 4 PM in New York, 9 PM in London, and 6 AM Sunday in Sydney—bringing the West Coast vibe to listeners around the globe.
