Welcome, welcome, welcome dear Soundcloud NDYD Radio listener. After over 300 episodes of the show (since 2016) you will get to hear for the first time on this one something you have never heard on the program before. It's not new or music. Well, yeah there will be plenty of music but for the first time ever you will hear your humble's host voice. For real. My voice is not a spring chicken  on the show as I've been doing that when I do the live version on d3ep.com but never done it on the Soundcloud versions.

I finally got a pro microphone (as you can see by the episode's cover of my setup) so I might as well use it ha ha. The talking here on Soundcloud is left to a minimum just mentioning the tracks worthy of me talking about and also mention when we have special House Music events here in Los Angeles. I know there a good bunch of listeners here in The City of Angels and near by.

Speaking of special events - On New Year's Day (NYD) I will have the extreme honor to open up this day party for two of my good friends @miguelmigs1 (Miguel Migs) and @djcolette (Colette). These two are family and I couldn't ask for a better way to start 2025 than with these two and the best House Music around.  Tickets and info on my Instagram (ricktowers). 

Listen to the new format for the radio show and let me know what you think of it.

As always, Enjoy!

The NDYD Radio Show EP367

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.
