Ric de Barros began his career over a decade ago where he regularly played circuit events and special guest spots at nightclubs in Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Chicago.
Spinning music for the first time since retiring from the club scene in 2007, he's back with Retrostalgic - a podcast of retro circuit hits that are sure to have you feeling nostalgic. His only rule is that the songs in each volume are greater than 10 years old.

Retrostalgic 9
I completed this podcast Saturday morning (20-Feb), but because five months had gone by since I was able to use my DJ equipment, the perfectionist in me wanted to record a new one after listening to it. However, a few hours later, I found out that my favorite remixer, Guido Osario, had passed away.

Retrostalgic Vol 4 - May 2015
It's the start of Summer and the beginning of flagging season here in the San Francisco Bay Area. "Flagging in the Park" is my absolute favorite thing to do here, and I actually got my start as a DJ spinning for tea dances before eventually moving on to darker sounds, but no matter what, I always joined the other flaggers while in the middle of my sets.
Contrasting the energy of last month's podcast and to nod the start of summer, here's a fun flag-friendly set of retro club tracks greater than 10 years old. Catch you next month!
1. (I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be) Free / One - Lighthouse Family (2001)
2. Hyde & Seek - Spunky (1998)
3. Love Generation - Bob Sinclair feat. Gary 'Nesta' Pine (2005)

5. Stop Playing With My Mind - Barbara Tucker feat. Darryl D'Bonneau (1999)
6. Up & Down - Vengaboys (1998)
7. Sexy Eyes - Whigfield (1996)

27 Apr 2015
Retrostalgic Vol 3 - April 2015
This mix is a bit darker than the last two but still has some good energy. I threw in two of my classic mashups - "Alert Against the Music" from 2003 and the 2005 version of "Woo!" that I originally mashed up in 2004. I called it "Woo!" because the word "woo" is prominently featured if you listen carefully. Keeping with tradition, the rest of the set is comprised of songs that are also 10 years or older.
1. Spin Spin Sugar - Sneaker Pimps (1997)
2. Body (Reach Out) - Faith Trent (2002)
3. Gates of Mind - Sterbinzky & Tranzident feat Jewls (2002)
4. Waiting For Alegria - Tony Moran & Ric Sena presents Zhana Saunders (2004)
5. Woo! - DJ Ric de Barros (2004)
6. Party Time - Raw Deal (2004)
7. You Got Me! - Giovanna (2003)
8. Tonight - Charlotte Church (2002)
9. So Gone - Monica (2003)
10. Push The Feeling - Nightcrawlers (2004)
11. All Nite (Don't Stop) - Janet Jackson (2004)
12. Alert Against the Music (Antoine Clamaran vs Britney Spears) - DJ Ric de Barros (2003)
13. My Imagination - Ceevox (2002)
14. Hit the Freeway - Toni Braxton (2002)
PS If anyone has any tips on how to best EQ these songs easily so that they aren't obviously from different years, let me know!
