WCC RADIO Episode 004 is posted

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

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!
Last Shameless Sessions of the year is up
12/01/2007 10:49 PM Filed in: Mixes
The last Shameless Sessions radio show for 2007 is now available for download. For this one I actually took out some of my old vinyl that I haven't played in a long time. These are a bunch of old white labels that I hardly take out anymore since turntables are hard to come by at clubs these days. For the last few years I've been playing mainly digital files from CDs on CDJs. You will probably hear the sound difference from these old records when you hear them in the mix. I played the hell out of these tracks and they are a little worn out. Don't be alarm if you see Michael Jackson or Diana Ross on the track list... You might be pleasantly surprise ;)

Shameless Sessions Mix For October is posted

My Shameless Sessions show for the month of October is available for download. It aired Sunday the 7th of October on SS Radio UK. Just to make it clear; My Shameless Sessions shows airs every month on the first Sunday of the month not necessarily the first week of the month. I had quite a few emails this week asking me where the mix was. I even had one that said that "it's been more than week and where is the fuckin' October mix?". Wow, did not know that people got so emotional about these sets. I hope it's clear now when they come out. Peace and enjoy the "f@#&ing" mix ;)
