Scientific Sound Asia presents a new edition of Velvety Elements, hosted by Portuguese DJ and producer Joshua. Aligned with the station’s commitment to underground culture, the series explores house music shaped by soul, groove and emotional depth, connecting artists and listeners across Asia and beyond through carefully curated radio programming.

Based in Évora, Portugal, Joshua has been immersed in electronic music culture since the 1990s. His long-standing relationship with vinyl, cassettes, CDs and digital formats reflects decades of dedication to underground sound and DJ culture, built through years of collecting, listening and performing.

Although his musical path has traversed techno, drum and bass and chillout, house music has always remained central to his artistic identity. During quieter periods for Portugal’s underground scene, Joshua helped sustain its momentum by organising events and collaborating closely with fellow DJs and producers to maintain a resilient creative community.

After stepping away from music to focus on family life, he returned with renewed purpose through Floating Beats, a series recognised for its melodic and forward-looking direction. Velvety Elements followed as a complementary project, dedicated to deeper, warmer and more soulful expressions of house music.

Working under several aliases including K Joshua, Joshua Marian, Joshua Fernand and Joshua Onairam, he continues to explore multiple creative perspectives. Each identity represents a distinct facet of his sound, ranging from rhythm-driven minimalism to emotionally focused melodic expression.

In 2024, Joshua founded JFLM Recordings, a label created to release his own productions while supporting underground artists committed to authenticity and musical depth. The imprint has since become a platform for his evolving studio work and collaborations.

Under the Joshua Marian name, the 2024 Nobody Waiting For Me EP on Back to the Beat delivered an organ-led title track alongside the nostalgic warmth of I Love You, both rooted in classic house traditions. Follow-up releases such as Just Love and Chance With Soul expanded this palette further, blending groove with subtle emotional nuance.

In 2025, his K Joshua single Light of Faith introduced a more introspective approach, pairing deep house rhythms with melodic phrasing that balances reflection and forward motion. Through Velvety Elements, Joshua continues to express his musical vision, each episode unfolding as a warm, fluid journey that honours the enduring spirit of house music.

The set opens in a refined deep house tone as Eric Leonardis and Reedale Rise establish a warm atmosphere with Deep Delirium and Azura. DJ Pipe and Fred P continue the hypnotic flow through Deeper Strainz and Water Melon, setting a patient groove that defines the early mood.

The centre of the mix deepens further as Damian Rausch and Manuel Kane’s remix of DJ Feevos bring subtle swing with About Love and Beat Azul. Joshua Marian adds his own touch through Sometimes I Think About, blending naturally into D’Julz and DJ Deep’s interpretation of Nu Bass.

The session then shifts slightly toward classic house structure. The Danny Tenaglia remix of Y introduces a broader club feel before Eddie Leader and HMSA maintain steady energy with The Vision and Section Passion.

Politics Of Dancing closes the episode with Style, easing the energy back into a smooth, deep house finish and completing a balanced late-night listening session. A must listen for all fans of House and Deep House music.

Tune in to his live radio show on Tuesday, February 17th, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. Indochina Time (ICT). If you miss it, catch the replay on Friday from 6 to 8 a.m. (ICT).
