The NDYD Radio Show EP359

Last Sunday, I experienced an unforgettable event in downtown Los Angeles: Louie Vega's renowned NYC party, Flashback. Hosted by Marques Wyatt and DEEP Los Angeles, this wasn’t your typical DJ lineup—it was an epic, eight-hour set by Louie himself. A legend in soulful house music, Louie seamlessly delivered an immersive journey through classic tracks, rare grooves, and his own iconic repertoire.

Flashback lives up to its name by featuring timeless tracks, some so rare they remain Louie’s personal gems. Hearing these classics reignited my passion for Soulful House, inspiring me to revisit forgotten favorites and incorporate them into the radio show. I even recorded snippets to remember key tracks for future sets.

This week’s episode of the show is a heartfelt tribute to Louie’s performance, filled with tracks from that night, especially in the final hour, which fully embodies the Soulful House vibe. It all begins with Barbara Tucker’s stunning classic soul cover of a track you will recognize, setting the tone for an uplifting, positive experience.

The night captured the essence of House Music: love, unity, and endless energy from dedicated dancers. A huge thanks to Louie, Marques, and DEEP LA for creating such a magical event. Soulful house truly inspires and uplifts!

Catch the show live on d3ep.com every Saturday at 20:00 UK time (GMT) and at 12 noon California time (PST). Enjoy!

The NDYD Radio Show EP369-Best of '24 part 2

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.
