The latest edition of Floating Beats, episode 712, is presented by Portuguese DJ and producer Joshua. Broadcast via Scientific Sound Asia, a platform dedicated to underground electronic music, DJ culture, and live events across Asia, the show continues to highlight forward-thinking artists and global sounds.

Originally from Évora, Portugal, Joshua has been deeply immersed in electronic music since the mid-1990s. His extensive collection of vinyl, cassettes, CDs, and digital recordings reflects decades of dedication to sound and a lifelong connection to underground culture.

Throughout his career, Joshua has explored a wide spectrum of genres, from house and techno to drum and bass and chillout. Even as Portugal’s rave movement slowed in the late 1990s, he remained active, organising grassroots events and collaborating with other DJs and producers to keep the local scene alive.

After taking time away to focus on family life, Joshua returned to the decks with renewed purpose, launching Floating Beats, a podcast and radio show that marked his re-entry into DJing and broadcasting. Since then, the series has grown into a respected showcase for immersive, melodic, and forward-thinking electronic music, earning a loyal international following.

In recent years, Joshua has expanded his creative reach through several production aliases, each representing a distinct aspect of his artistry. As K-Joshua, his Hopeful Mind EP (2024) explored deep, atmospheric themes, while Joshua Fernand’s Logic Move EP delved into raw, hypnotic techno. Under Joshua Marian, Chance With Soul (2025) delivered house-driven grooves with a soulful touch, and as Joshua Onairam, he continues to explore experimental and melodic forms with releases such as Melodic Doubts.

To support this creative evolution, Joshua launched JFLM Recordings in 2024, a label dedicated to releasing both his own productions and innovative work from emerging underground artists. Together with Floating Beats, the label reinforces his vision of authenticity and progression, offering depth, diversity, and a global platform for underground electronic music.

Floating Beats opens with S-File’s Things Have Changed (Fhase 87 Remix), a commanding peak-time weapon that sets an intense, kinetic tone. Joshua transitions into Namhar’s Circum Navigate and Blaine Mason’s The Laugh, where rolling percussion and shadowy atmospheres deepen the mood.

Drive System by Louis The 4th and Mistress by Rosati continue this hypnotic thread, combining precision-engineered kicks with layers of textured rhythm. The middle section locks into a powerful, raw Techno groove as Marco Bailey’s Infinite Bunker and Crime Partners’ Still Broke lead into Franco Rossi’s Orbis, a track that thrives on dark resonance and movement.

Vinicius Honorio’s Haunted Loop and Hybrasil’s Madman push the energy higher, pairing pulsating basslines with tension-building sequences that reflect the signature Floating Beats intensity.

As the set nears its climax, Seth’s Mental Two and Ken Ishii & Yuada’s Rapid Shots Part 2 deliver a sharp, mechanical drive, showing the refined evolution of modern Techno.

Toni Alvarez’s Land Of Nowhere and Temudo’s It’s Always Past wrap the episode with hypnotic force and futuristic precision, closing on a brooding yet exhilarating note. DJ Joshua’s latest mix stands as another masterclass in deep and driving Techno, exploring the balance between raw minimalism and relentless momentum.

Remember to tune into his live radio show on Monday, October 13th, 2025, from 6 to 8 p.m. Indochina Time (ICT). If you're unable to listen, then a replay will be broadcast on Friday from 6 to 8 a.m. (ICT).
