Here it is. The event I've been talking about for weeks. deiSogni finally happened over Thursday and Friday (June 26-27) and it was AMAZING. The creativity, devotion to the cause of the LGBTQ community always blows me away and I love playing for them. This is my Friday night (6/26) set that started the  Disco night. It is the reason why this episode is a day late. The event happened at the same time that I usually record so, since I had to be there anyway, I might as well kill two birds with one stone right?

Those who know me know that playing Disco (especially disco edits) is not my first Disco Rodeo (pun intended) so I am in my element here.

Enjoy and get ready to DANCE!

The NDYD Radio Show EP395 - Ricardo live from deiSogni part 1, Los Angeles - June 27, 2025

I'm French and I've been DJ'ing as a pro for 35 years, mainly focusing on Soulful and House Music. You'll find all my mixes and mash up here on SoundCloud, but I'm also one of the Resident DJs on Capital Disko Radio, I post a mix every month

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.
