Velvety Elements 336 welcomes back DJ Joshua for another edition of his long-running show on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music news platform, connecting underground artists and listeners across the region and internationally.
Based in Évora, Portugal, DJ Joshua has been involved with electronic music since the 1990s, developing his outlook through vinyl, cassettes, CDs and later digital formats. His background spans a wide range of electronic music and provides the foundation for a career built across DJing, radio, event organisation and production.
That experience shapes the identity of Velvety Elements, where Joshua concentrates on the warmer, soulful and groove-led side of his collection. His programming favours smooth pacing, subtle rhythmic movement and measured transitions that allow individual tracks room to develop naturally.
Joshua remained connected with Portugal's underground scene through event organisation, collaboration and support for local artists. After stepping away from regular musical activity to concentrate on family life, he later returned through Floating Beats and gradually rebuilt his presence in radio.
Velvety Elements developed during that renewed period of activity, giving the softer side of his musical identity a dedicated platform. The programme has since become a regular outlet for selections built around groove, melody, depth and continuity.
His studio work under the Joshua Marian name reflects much of that direction. Soul Zone and Love My Soul on Bassment Tapes, together with Tengo Rojo and Restless Lips on 659 Records, form part of a catalogue centred on warmer rhythms and melodic detail.
How to Play Guitar on JFLM Recordings takes a more melodic route, while Always on My Mind and I Can Go, You Can See on 14th Level Of Paradise continue the deeper side of the project. Joshua Marian gives him a distinct space for productions that sit naturally alongside the character of Velvety Elements.
Joshua also records as K Joshua, using the alias for more hypnotic, spacious, dub-influenced and experimental ideas. Promised Work on Kopoc, Stranger Things on dublucid, As You Are on Liberty Rhythm and Slow Laziness on Ghetto Rhythms Records illustrate that more abstract side of his catalogue.
Working under different identities allows Joshua to separate contrasting studio ideas while retaining a clear purpose for each project. Joshua Marian carries much of the warmer and more melodic material, while K Joshua provides room for deeper and more experimental productions.
In 2024, Joshua launched JFLM Recordings as an independent outlet for his productions and collaborative work. The label gives him greater control over how new material is presented while providing a dedicated home for music connected with the different sides of his studio activity.
That production work feeds naturally back into his radio programmes and broadens the perspective behind each edition. Velvety Elements 336 continues the series with another carefully paced session shaped by Joshua's long-standing connection with groove, melody and deeper electronic music.
DJ Joshua opens Velvety Elements 336 with Ekoboy and Stelios Vassiloudis' Scenes, setting up a warm House Music groove before Carlosthings' Suavemente and Joshua Marian's Hollow Monster bring the mix into Deep House. Ari's 90's Chicago then returns to a straighter house rhythm, giving the early section a classic club feel.
Crane's Daddy's Home introduces the first Funky House turn of the episode through Robsoul Recordings before Danny Howells' Endless Dust opens the programme into Progressive House. That shift adds a more spacious melodic passage without taking the set too far from the warm, groove-led identity of Velvety Elements.
DJ Vibe and Fragoso restore the deeper pulse with The Train, after which Jay Tripwire's The Count brings the episode's sole Tech House selection. Josh Wink's NGF then returns the mix to Deep House, keeping the middle-to-late section focused on understated bass movement and tightly controlled percussion.
Joshua Marian appears for a second time with You Got Me on Salted Music, extending the Deep House emphasis before Cory Wells adds another funkier Robsoul cut with Underground. DJ Sneak closes with Already Started, finishing the episode on a direct House groove and reinforcing the Chicago-rooted club character heard earlier in the programme.
Across Velvety Elements 336, Deep House remains the dominant style, supported by House, Funky House, Progressive House and Tech House. DJ Joshua keeps the set varied without losing cohesion, using deeper grooves as the foundation while allowing short melodic and funkier detours to shape the progression.
Listen to the live radio broadcast on Tuesday, October 13th, 2026, between 6 and 8 p.m. Indochina Time. If you happen to miss it, you can catch a replay on Friday from 6 to 8 a.m. ICT.
