The latest edition of Floating Beats, episode 723, is presented by Joshua. Broadcast on Scientific Sound Asia, a platform dedicated to underground electronic music, DJ culture and live events across Asia, the series continues to spotlight forward-thinking artists and globally rooted sounds.


Born in Évora, Portugal, Joshua has been immersed in electronic music since the mid-1990s. His extensive archive of vinyl, cassettes, CDs and digital releases reflects decades of dedication to sound and a deep connection to underground culture. From early crate digging to countless hours behind the decks, his musical outlook has always been guided by curiosity, depth and a wide-ranging appreciation of electronic music.


Across his career, Joshua has explored a broad spectrum of styles including house, techno, drum and bass and chillout. During quieter periods for Portugal’s rave movement, he played an active role in sustaining the underground through grassroots events and close collaboration with fellow DJs and producers, helping to keep creative momentum alive when the local scene needed it most.


After stepping away from music to focus on family life, Joshua returned with renewed purpose through Floating Beats, a radio and podcast series that quickly re-established his international presence. The show has since evolved into a respected platform for melodic, progressive and deeper electronic sounds, attracting a global listenership and reflecting his continually developing musical vision.


In recent years, Joshua has expanded his artistic identity through several aliases, each representing a distinct sonic direction. As K-Joshua, the Hopeful Mind EP explored emotive deep house. Under the Joshua Fernand name, the Logic Move EP moved into hypnotic and raw techno territory. His Joshua Marian project delivered soulful, groove-led house through the 2025 release Chance With Soul, while Joshua Onairam focuses on cinematic and melodic textures, as heard on Melodic Doubts.


His most recent productions signal a confident evolution in style. Shiny Night, released in 2025 under the Joshua Onairam alias, blends progressive melody with emotional flow, reinforcing a growing interest in atmosphere, narrative and musical storytelling. These releases build naturally on the foundations laid by Hopeful Mind and Logic Move, marking a continued refinement of his deep house and techno sound.


In 2024, Joshua launched JFLM Recordings, a label created to release his own music while collaborating with underground artists who share his commitment to authenticity, depth and expression. Together, Floating Beats and JFLM Recordings reflect a long-standing dedication to meaningful electronic music, offering listeners an ongoing and carefully curated creative journey.y.


The opening section of Floating Beats 723 sets a steady foundation, easing in with the deep house flow of Travel With Rhythm before tightening into hypnotic techno territory. Tracks like Give It a Chance and the legendary Energy Flash gradually shift the mood, introducing tougher peak-time percussion and a forward-driving pulse that signals the transition into deeper techno terrain.


As the mix develops, raw and deep hypnotic techno takes control. Cuts such as Infinite Bunker, New Media and Warehouse Tool focus on tension and repetition, using stripped-back arrangements and pressure-driven rhythms to create a locked-in warehouse atmosphere. This section leans heavily on mental groove rather than melodic release.


The intensity continues to rise with darker selections, including Nutjob Serenade, Dream and Misery, where dense low-end and looping structures dominate. The blend of hypnotic sequencing and peak-time weight gives the set a relentless momentum without losing its underground focus.


In the closing stretch, DJ Joshua balances power and depth through tracks like Night Hunters, 1979 and Maybe Bali, before finishing on Jungle Fiver. The episode closes with a sense of controlled release, rounding off a tightly programmed journey through deep house roots, raw hypnotic techno and peak-time drive.
