Floating Beats 761 welcomes back DJ Joshua for another edition of his long-running electronic music 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 mid-1990s, developing his knowledge through vinyl, cassettes, CDs and later digital formats. His wider background reaches across House, Techno, Drum and Bass and Chillout, giving his work a broad foundation built over several decades.
Joshua’s early involvement included DJing, record collecting, local radio and participation in Portugal’s developing rave scene. He also remained connected through event organisation, collaboration and support for local artists before stepping away from regular activity to concentrate on family life.
His eventual return led to Floating Beats, which developed into an outlet for deeper, progressive and hypnotic underground electronic music. Joshua approaches each edition through atmosphere and controlled progression, giving individual tracks room to develop without relying on abrupt changes or constant peak-time pressure.
Alongside broadcasting, Joshua produces under several aliases that allow different areas of his studio work to develop independently. Each project reflects another part of the musical perspective he has built through years of collecting, DJing, radio and production.
As Joshua Fernand, he concentrates largely on contemporary Techno and more club-focused material. Releases include Blue River on MixCult Digital and Breaking Rocks and Tearing Metal through his own JFLM Recordings.
Closed Door and Open Door on Radickal Records explore darker and more hypnotic territory through repetition, tension and stripped-back rhythmic structures. Killer’s Plan on Rice Bowl Recordings introduces a more melodic direction, connecting his tougher productions with the atmospheric ideas heard elsewhere in his work.
The Joshua Marian alias carries much of his warmer and more soulful output. Releases including Soul Zone, Love My Soul, Tengo Rojo, Restless Lips, Always on My Mind and I Can Go, You Can See place greater emphasis on groove, melody and smoother rhythmic development.
K Joshua provides space for more abstract, hypnotic and experimental ideas. Promised Work on Kopoc, Stranger Things on dublucid, As You Are on Liberty Rhythm and Slow Laziness on Ghetto Rhythms Records explore deeper textures and more spacious arrangements.
Working through several identities allows Joshua to explore contrasting ideas without forcing every production into one direction. Joshua Fernand carries much of the tougher club material, Joshua Marian represents the warmer side of his work, while K Joshua gives him room for deeper and more experimental productions.
In 2024, Joshua launched JFLM Recordings as an independent outlet for his productions and collaborative projects. 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 work.
That production activity now feeds naturally back into his broadcasting and expands the perspective behind Floating Beats. Episode 761 continues the series with carefully paced underground electronic music shaped by decades of listening and Joshua’s continuing interest in new records, production techniques and ideas.
DJ Joshua opens Floating Beats 761 with his own Sweet Freedom, setting a clear Progressive House foundation before Rolando pushes the mix into raw, deep and hypnotic Techno with B Friend. E-Dancer's Cosmic Drive then introduces Melodic House and Techno, adding a more expansive melodic layer before the energy starts to rise.
S-File's Bleaching and Nobuharu Morimoto's Hina Matsuri move the set firmly into peak-time driving Techno, giving the middle section a harder and more direct club pulse. P.I.M.P.'s The Light briefly restores House Music before DCLVIII OFC returns to melodic territory with Fusion.
Nick Stoynoff's remix of Aubrey Fry's Begone brings Progressive House back into the programme before Chain Selector begins another deeper Techno run with Special Vision. Joshua Onairam's Similar Opening and Justin Berkovi's Step Up maintain the raw and hypnotic direction through stripped-back percussion and darker rhythmic detail.
Nobuharu Morimoto closes the episode with Koichi Sugimoto's remix of Dontenmoyou, leaving the final section firmly rooted in Techno. Across Floating Beats 761, DJ Joshua balances Progressive House and Melodic House and Techno against a dominant Techno framework, with raw, hypnotic and peak-time styles shaping most of the set.
Tune in to his live radio show on Monday, September 21st, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. Indochina Time (ICT). If you can't catch the live broadcast, you can listen to the replay on Friday from 6 to 8 a.m. (ICT).
