A day late but worth it :) Here is the live recording from my warm up set at the Compact Disco event where I had the opportunity to open up for the Chicago legends DJ Heather and DJ Colette. Also in the line up was Kenny Summit from the Bay Area. If you were there I hope it brings back some good memories and if you got there later or missed it you have the chance to catch up.

Back next week with a regular studio episode. Enjoy!

The NDYD Radio Show EP380 - Ricardo Live from Compact Disco - March 15, 2025

Welcome lovers of House Music for adults. Hoping you had a great week since the last episode. I certainly have by finishing big projects at work and starting new exciting ones. This week also felt like summer, and  it’s the kick off of Pride Month so lots of loving and good vibes in the air. 

I also got involved in a new art project where I will be supplying the soundtrack for ‘deiSogni’. As they describe it, this will be a  ‘an immersive rebirth of the collective dream through art, theatre, film, technology, and music.’ This is happening June 26-27 here in the LA Art District. If you are in the city of Angels give them a follow on Instagram at deisogni.la to get all the info on this fantastic project that is oozing with creativity in all fields. More info coming up in the next few episodes and at https://deisogni.studio

As far as EP-392, it is dance floor ready a la ‘Glitterbox’ and it’s meant to be played loud at your summer get together and events.  Especially pool parties.  This episode was also recorded for the first time with my my new digital recorder. My old Zoom H4n finally took its last lap after using it for almost 15 years for the show and on the road. Thank God for Amazon next day delivery. I got the new 2024 version  of the H4n (now called H4 Essential) that is smaller, black in color, and has more buttons and technology than its predecessor. It took half a day to figure it out. I felt like Cassian Andor when he was trying to steal a prototype of the Tie Avenger (Star Wars fans know what I am talking about). The recording sounded pretty good in the studio so let me know if it feels that way from your end. I am only uploading WAV non compressed versions of the show now so it’s high quality audio. What Soundcloud’s audio algorithm does with it to stream it is beyond my control.

Enjoy and get dancing damn it!

The NDYD Radio Show EP399

We keep collecting these sophisticated episodes of the radio show and we have one more  to add. Episode 401 hits the ground running with a bunch of new promos that are coming out soon, tons of new music, a rare throwback - let's see if you know which one it is and where it lands in this episode ;)

Also, as I mentioned in this episode, on August  23rd I am playing live in Hollywood with a bunch of DJ friends that I absolutely love including superstar @djcolette . It's a day party so no excuse. Check out my instagram for all the details.

See ya back next week and enjoy EP-401.

The NDYD Radio Show EP401

I Don't Know

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

Episode 406 lands with only one mission - to make you dance like nobody's watching. New music that covers Deep House, Soulful House, Garage House and just feel good House. New promo from B&S Concept ( @inaouse ) and a throwback from one of the biggest artists (DJ & Producer) from the last two decades. You know who he is and you know his music but did you know his music before he got super famous and took over the world? Let's see if you can guest what track and who it is in this episode. Hint - his music was coming out at the time on a San Francisco label that only has two letters to its name. Did you figure it out? :) Only true House Heads from the late 90s and early 2000s will know.

Next week we come back with a very special guest from the UK that is very familiar to the regular listeners and that they also love. Make sure you come back next week to find out who that guest will be and listen to his exclusive mix just for the show.  

See you then and for now go enjoy EP-406 and go dance!

Disco & Classic Chicago Deep House music Vol. 4 mixed by DJ Solomon Alonzo (Chicago Style Mix)

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.
