Love this opening. Reminds me of my dad cranking the vynal of this album on his top notch Marantz system in the 1970s. Speakers were taller than me.

What a gem...haven't heard that one for ages! Thx Ricardo!!!!

2,5 hours full of goosebumping moments 🫶

No new music this week 😐 I did not have time to go through new releases or promos I received this week.

BUT - I dug deep into my digital crates 💯. As I mention in the show I've accumulated over 20K tracks since I started playing digital files so you would think I could find 25 or so cuts to fill a 2 hour slot, and I did 🙌🏼

The tracks I picked for this episode are not new but will feel new to a lot of the listeners. In my opinion, these were overlooked when they came out and are still timeless and can certainly rock the dance floor.

EP-403 visits the last 30 years or so of House music that accompanied us when we were clubbing and going to undergrounds in the last 3 decades.

Thank you for checking it out and let me know in the comments how you feel about this episode and if I should dig in the crates like this more.

Enjoy and see you back next week.

The NDYD Radio Show EP403

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.
