DJ Joshua presents Floating Beats and Velvety Elements on Scientific Sound Asia, with tracklists for the two programmes. Scientific Sound Asia is an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music-news platform connecting audiences across Asia and internationally.
Based in Portugal, DJ Joshua has been part of electronic music culture since the early 1990s, when his involvement began in the country’s rave scene. His dedication to the music that moves him is documented through DJ Joshua’s Mixcloud profile.
His collection spans a broad range of electronic music, and he brings that knowledge to selections built from contrasting rhythms and melodic ideas. Floating Beats focuses on deeper, progressive and underground electronic music, including House and Techno.
The first programme balances atmospheric material with club-focused tracks, placing Satoshi Fumi, Boo Williams and Fred Everything within the same sequence. Velvety Elements takes a more soulful and nuanced approach, while his SoundCloud profile provides a further reference for his work.
Floating Beats opens with Satoshi Fumi’s A Lull In The Wind on Tales of Romance, bringing Melodic House and Techno into the first section. Boo Williams follows with Moving Rivers on Rush Hour, shifting the emphasis towards Deep House.
Darren Emerson’s Ian Pooley remix of Sleeping Bag on Selador keeps the deeper tone in place, before Harrison BDP’s One For The Club arrives through Phonica Recordings. Fred Everything’s Paradiso Perduto on Champion Records closes this early run with another Deep House selection.
Marcelo Castelli’s God Became Man, in its Original Dubber version on South American Grooves, introduces Tech House. Ian O’Donovan then brings Constellations on Lumina back towards Deep House before DJ Skull’s Good Pain on Counterchange Recordings moves into Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic).
Taupe’s Vortex on Colours stays within the raw, deep and hypnotic Techno character, while Subground 3000 raises the intensity with Shake It on Club Session. Tony Lionni’s Harlem Hustle on wewillalwaysbealovesong then returns the first programme to Deep House after its Peak Time Techno passage.
Velvety Elements begins with Phuture’s Rise From Your Grave, before When Is Dark’s Gotheck Dc remix of The Love You Need appears on Stereo Productions. That track introduces Progressive House, and Danny Tenaglia featuring Lula follows with Read My Lips on TWISTED.
Chiapet’s Apocalypse Now Mix of Tick Toc on Yoshitoshi Recordings brings Tech House back into the second programme. Brothers’ Vibe’s Manos Libre on Jersey Underground Recordings adds a direct House Music rhythm to the sequence.
Peter Tha Zouk and Bruno Marciano’s Paul Jays remix of The First Tribal Feeling on Magna Recordings returns to Tech House. Spiritual Experience’s In The Presence Of Angels on TRIBAL America and R.A.W.’s Asuca on Strictly Rhythm Records extend the House Music section through their Tribal mixes.
Head Rush’s Underground and Deep Dish presents Quench’s Sexy Dance provide the final turns before the closing record. Dummy Head finishes Velvety Elements with I Have Been Wanting You, an Edit Mix issued through Running Back that returns the set to Deep House.
