Floating Beats 756 on Scientific Sound Asia welcomes back DJ Joshua for another edition of his long-running electronic music show. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency and promoter, publishing music news while connecting underground artists and listeners across the region and internationally.
Born in Évora, Portugal, DJ Joshua has been involved with electronic music since the mid-1990s, building his knowledge through vinyl, cassettes, CDs and later digital formats. His background spans House, Techno, Drum and Bass and Chillout, giving his sets a broad foundation across several generations of electronic music.
Even during quieter periods for Portugal's underground scene, Joshua remained active through event organisation, collaboration and support for local artists. After stepping away from regular DJing to focus on family life, he returned through Floating Beats and gradually re-established his presence in radio.
The programme has since become a platform for deeper, progressive and underground electronic music. Joshua builds each episode around atmosphere and controlled progression, allowing the music to develop steadily rather than relying on abrupt changes or immediate peak-time pressure.
Alongside the show, Joshua produces under several aliases that separate different areas of his studio work. As Joshua Fernand, he concentrates on contemporary Techno, with releases including Blue River on MixCult Digital and Breaking Rocks and Tearing Metal through his own JFLM Recordings.
Closed Door and Open Door on Radickal Records take the Joshua Fernand project towards darker and more hypnotic territory. Repetition, tension and stripped-back rhythmic structures give those tracks a different character from the warmer House material found elsewhere in his catalogue.
Killer's Plan on Rice Bowl Recordings brings another side of the alias into focus by combining layered melodies with Melodic House and Techno structures. The track provides a bridge between his tougher Techno productions and the more melodic elements that regularly appear within Floating Beats.
His Joshua Marian alias occupies the deeper and more soulful side of his work, with releases including Just Love, Express Your Voice and Go Slow. Material under that name has appeared through labels including Yesenia, Jazz In Da House, Agua Salada Records and Wanda, drawing on warmer melodies, soulful textures and groove-led rhythmic flow.
The K Joshua project moves further towards raw and experimental electronic music. Promised Work on Kopoc, Stranger Things on dublucid and Slow Laziness on Ghetto Rhythms Records explore raw and hypnotic Techno, Dub Techno and Ambient influences.
Using several aliases gives Joshua room to explore contrasting ideas without forcing every release into one musical identity. Joshua Fernand handles much of the Techno-focused material, Joshua Marian concentrates on deeper House influences, while K Joshua allows more experimental and atmospheric directions to develop independently.
In 2024, Joshua launched JFLM Recordings as an independent outlet for his own productions and collaborative projects. The label gives him greater control over releases while creating a dedicated home for music that reflects the different areas of his studio work.
DJ Joshua begins Floating Beats 756 with Chain Selector's "Special Vision", Joshua Onairam's "Similar Opening" and Justin Berkovi's "Step Up", establishing a focused run of Deep Techno shaped by hypnotic repetition, restrained tension and raw rhythmic detail. Koichi Sugimoto's remix of Nobuharu Morimoto's "Dontenmoyou" then pushes the session towards the more forceful drive of Peak Time Techno, giving the opening sequence its first substantial lift in intensity.
Vince Watson's "Eccentricity" pulls the mix back into deeper Techno territory before Deetron changes the complexion with "Flow" on Mutual Rytm, introducing the broader melodic movement of Progressive House. HECK's "2 A.M." follows with a tighter low-end groove and Deep Tech House character, creating a useful rhythmic bridge between the melodic turn and the more electronic material that follows.
Beroshima's "Horizon", reworked by Funk D'Void, brings Tech House into the programme and provides one of its clearest stylistic changes, with machine-driven rhythm breaking away from the straighter techno pulse heard earlier. Fundamental Harmonics then returns to progressive territory with "Filaments", allowing melody and atmosphere to open the mix up again before its final descent into tougher material.
Rolando's "Gaining Ground" restores the hypnotic techno pressure near the end, bringing the set back towards the stripped, repetitive foundations established during its opening stages. KMYLE closes with "Drill" on COD3 QR, finishing a carefully varied selection that moves between raw and deep techno, progressive movement, electro detail and tightly controlled club grooves without losing its underlying intensity.
Make sure to tune in to his live radio show on Monday, August 17th, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. Indochina Time (ICT). If you're unable to catch the live broadcast, you can listen to the replay on Friday from 6 to 8 a.m. (ICT).
