WCC RADIO EP011 (November 2008) is now ready for download. If you prefer to stream it online or subscribe to the Podcast you can do so at SS RADIO UK. There is a new feature with this mix. Torin of the WCC showed me a neat trick that allows me to imbed the tracklist in the MP3 file. In itunes you can find it under the "lyrics" tab in the info window of the mix. If you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch you can see the tracklist by touching the artwork of the mix while it is playing. Try it out it really works. Don't forget to rate the mix after you've listen to it. Enjoy it!

WCC RADIO EP010 (October 2008) is now ready for download. You will hear quite a few main street artists in this episode (Prince, Snoop Dog, Soul 2 Soul, etc) but don't fear! These are bootleg house remixes done by some of the finest of the house crop (that Christina Aguilera remix is so dope). Listen before you judge :) If you prefer to stream it online or subscribe to the Podcast you can do so at SS RADIO UK. Hope you enjoy the tunes.

WCC RADIO EP009 (September 2008) is now ready for download. If you prefer to stream it online or subscribe to the Podcast you can do so at SS RADIO UK. This episode is all about the underground. Not my usual soulful sets but a little more deeper and jackin’. I crave the days in the early 90s when our parties were in dark warehouses were the only light was from the mixer and turntables. Even if this set is nostalgic to me it doesn’t haver too many nostalgic tracks. They are pretty new. It just goes to show you that the underground is very alive. It’s just still...underground. Close your eyes when you listen to this episode and let it take you back to those days. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know how you feel about it by rating it after you heard it. I’ll know if you guys want more sets like this.

This was due to my best friend and Great Dane "Geronimo" passing away last week. He will be greatly missed since he was such a majestic and amazing dog. Episode 08 is dedicated to his memory. Hope you enjoy the tunes.

WCC RADIO Episode 006 is posted - Amsterdam maybe.
WCC RADIO EP006 (June 2008) is now ready for download. If this episode had a name I would have called it "Bass". The first half of the show as some wicked deep house bass-lines that just make you nod your head and raises your level of being cool by ten. I also did a live edit of Doobie J's "Cant Stay Away" vs Andre Harris' "10 things Not To Say To a DJ" and it turned out pretty good. I had some people asked me where I got that remix. Sometimes 2 tracks are just meant to go together.
This episode is a week earlier than schedule and that is because next week I will be in Europe for a few days. I will be in Cannes, France from the 28th of April to the 3rd of June for a friend's wedding. Then I'm off to Amsterdam for a few days. Officially I'm not going to gig but I might make a surprise stop to one of the SoulSessions night over there. I always have my music with me. If something is confirm I will post it on the blog and send an email out to let people know. If you live in the Nice area in France and know of a good house night there to check out please let me know through the contact page. Enjoy EP006!
WCC RADIO Episode 005 is posted

WCC RADIO EP005 (May 2008) is now ready for download. I'm really happy with this episode. It's my favorite of the year. I don't know why it just flows. I got to listen to it while driving on the coast with my sun roof open and enjoying this 90 degrees Californian spring. For a second I just forgot al of my troubles and got lost in the music. Hope you can do the same. Don't forget to rate it after you listen to it (might be just me who like it). Enjoy!
WCC RADIO Episode 004 is posted
03/30/2008 09:59 PM Filed in: Mixes
WCC RADIO EP004 (April 2008) is now ready for download. I added a new feature to the track list, a link to buy the individual tracks from the mix. When you click on the track's label it will take you to digital download site (Traxsource, Stompy, Beatport, etc) where I purchased the track. It won't take you to the exact track but it will take you to the label's songs on the digital download site. It makes it a lot easier to find the song and to narrow your search. Give it a try and please go out and support the labels that are giving us such great and beautiful music.
What prompted this new feature was the whole Defected incident that happened to me last week. I figured by including this it will make the labels (and artists) happy. If they still don't want me to include their music it's their lost. You will notice that this set has 2 Defected songs even after I vowed never to play anything from them. Call me a sell out but dam these tracks are good ;) The ironic thing is that one of those tracks is one I removed from the Pesto Mix and both are, as of now, unreleased (you can find them on Traxsource but they are digital edits, these are the real thing). How did I do it? They gave me permission! Go figure... Maybe they think I have something to offer. So if you purchase tracks from their store tell them it's because of Ricardo Torres ;) Enjoy the mix!

WCC RADIO EP002 (February 2008) is now ready for download. If you are wondering why it's here after EP003 then read the entry below. The point is that it's here now so you are getting two shows this month :) The first hour is deeper and darker than I usually play but the mix brings the soul back in hour two. Check it out and let me know what you think of it by rating it after you've listen to it. Enjoy!
WCC RADIO Episode 003 is posted
03/02/2008 01:17 PM Filed in: Mixes
WCC RADIO EP003 (March 2008) is now ready for download. Some of you are probably wondering where is EP002? Last month when the radio show was schedule to air on SS RADIO the WCC was also playing live at BALANCE here in LA. We did a live broadcast from the club that a lot of people got a chance to tune into. Unfortunately the recording of the night had some glitches. Torin is trying to fix it and if he can we will post that set. I then promised that I would record a new EP002 and post it even if it was late. My life got crazy during February (read the post below) and I wasn't able to do it. I still want to do an EP002 not to break our streak so hopefully I can get that done with in the next week or two since I'm finally coming back up for air.
I'm really happy with this EP003. It's Deep, Jackin, Funky, and Soulful and I have for you a preview of my wife Sandra's new track "Higher" that will finally be out before the summer on Pesto Music. There will be remixes by Jay-J (Shifted Music), Justin Michael (Hermosa Recordings), Thomas White (Natural Rhythm) and of course Jon SIlva (Pesto Music). There are also a couple of other remixes floating around including a WCC remix by Torin Rea. What you hear in the set is Jay-J's dub mix. His vocal remix is also slammin and has the quality you come to expect from Jay-J. Justin Michael's remixes are pretty amazing also. Think "big room Dennis Ferrer" type. Thomas' version will of course be Jackin' a la Natural Rhythm and I'm sure the very talented Jon SIlva will have some nice surprises for us since he is the one that did the original mixes. I'm also looking forward to hear what Torin is cooking up.
WCC RADIO Episode 001 is posted
01/06/2008 05:54 PM Filed in: Mixes
The first WCC RADIO show has been posted and ready for download. As I told you in the last posting the format will remain the same as Shameless Sessions it is just the name that changes. The show will air once a month on SS Radio UK but I will try to bring it up to a bi-monthly edition if my schedule permits. The show is not exclusive to SS Radio so if you run an internet radio station and are interested in airing the program please contact me.
The first hour of the show is a mix of newer and older tracks and the second hour is a tribute to my favorite West Coast producer (and friend) Jay-J. It is an hour of some of my favorite remixes and original productions (he has over 300) of this Grammy nominated producer and DJ. I am also keeping the tradition to end the show with a classic track. This month is a dope Michael Jackson underground remix of Off The Wall. This was when MJ was normal and with darker skin... I found this one as I was digging through my crates.
New to the site is a rating system for the mixes. At the bottom of each track list page you are able to vote on the mix from 1 to 5 stars (5 being best). After you listen to the mix please rate it so I get an idea of what people are digging. The rating is also available for the old mixes so if you have a favorite one go vote for it.
In other news the WCC will be back at BALANCE LA in February. Stay tune for the date and details. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
