DJ Joshua publishes his track list for Floating Beats 725.

Floating Beats returns with episode 725, presented by DJ Joshua. Broadcast on Scientific Sound Asia, the series continues to champion underground electronic music, DJ culture and live events across Asia, connecting globally rooted sounds with an international audience.

Born in Évora, Portugal, Joshua has been immersed in electronic music culture 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 the underground. From early crate digging to countless hours behind the decks, his musical perspective has always been guided by curiosity, depth and a broad appreciation of electronic music in all its forms.

Across his career, Joshua has explored a wide 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 maintain creative momentum 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 grown into a respected platform for melodic, progressive and deeper electronic sounds, attracting a global listenership while reflecting his continually evolving 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.

The episode opens with a smooth and understated introduction, as Deep House selections ease the listener into the mix with restrained groove and rhythmic clarity. These early moments establish a sense of patience and space, allowing the transition toward heavier material to feel natural rather than abrupt.

The shift into Raw, Deep & Hypnotic Techno is gradual but deliberate. Tracks such as Eclipse and New Media introduce darker textures and rolling pressure, tightening the focus and pulling the mix firmly into underground territory. The pacing remains controlled, favouring depth and repetition over dramatic peaks.

As the episode progresses, the Techno becomes more immersive and driving. A long central run of raw and hypnotic cuts builds sustained momentum, where subtle changes in rhythm and sound design maintain tension without breaking the flow. This section reflects Floating Beats at its most functional and uncompromising.

The closing stretch briefly steps outside the techno framework with Bloom, injecting Speed Garage swing before returning to deep, hypnotic Techno for the finale. Floating Beats 725 closes with a sense of purpose and restraint, reinforcing DJ Joshua’s commitment to underground club music built on texture, pressure and continuity.

Catch his live radio show on Monday, January 12th, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. Indochina Time (ICT). Missed it? No worries, tune in to the replay on Friday from 6 to 8 a.m. (ICT).
