DJ Joshua announces his track list for Velvety Elements 290.

Scientific Sound Asia presents the latest edition of Velvety Elements, hosted by Portuguese DJ and producer Joshua. Staying true to the station’s mission of connecting underground artists across Asia and beyond, the series continues to spotlight house music at its most soulful, groove-centred and emotionally expressive.

Based in Évora, Portugal, Joshua has been deeply immersed in electronic music since the 1990s. His extensive archive of vinyl, cassettes, CDs and digital releases reflects decades of dedication and an enduring commitment to underground culture. While his musical journey has explored techno, drum and bass and chillout, house music has always remained the heart of his craft.

Throughout quieter periods for Portugal’s underground movement, Joshua helped sustain the scene by organising events and encouraging collaboration among DJs and producers. After taking time away to focus on family, he returned with renewed purpose, launching Floating Beats, celebrated for its melodic and immersive direction, followed by Velvety Elements, a series devoted to deeper, warmer and more soulful strands of house.

Working under several aliases, K Joshua, Joshua Marian, Joshua Fernand and Joshua Onairam, he continues to expand his artistic identity. Each project highlights a different facet of his sound, from percussive minimalism to emotive melodic journeys. In 2024, he founded JFLM Recordings, a label built to showcase both his own productions and select underground artists who share his passion for authenticity, texture and depth.

Joshua’s recent output marks a period of strong creative momentum. As Joshua Marian, his Nobody Waiting For Me EP on Back to the Beat in late 2024 features the organ-rich title track and the nostalgic I Love You, both steeped in classic house sensibility.

Releases such as Just Love and Chance With Soul demonstrate his natural ability to blend groove with emotional detail, while his 2025 K Joshua single Light of Faith introduces a more introspective tone. Built on deep house rhythm and melodic phrasing, it reflects a balance of reflection and forward motion.

Through Velvety Elements, Joshua continues to refine and express the essence of his musical identity. Each episode merges rhythm, harmony and emotion into a warm, flowing experience that honours the timeless soul of house music.

The mix begins in a warm Deep House direction with The One (The Dub) setting a soft and immersive foundation. Jovonn’s remix of Random adds a classic rhythmic swing, followed by the smooth feel of I Feel It, which carries a gentle melodic lift. Insolite, in its Manuel Kane remix, keeps the deep vibe moving while Delight continues the early-session cohesion.

A shift toward House follows as DJ Sneak’s Kick Da Flow introduces a more upbeat groove. Jerk Jack brings in jackin pressure with a lively push, while Zang Tum Tumb in the Running Hot remix guides the session into a slightly edgier and more percussive mood. Soul Drummers keeps the pace steady with its rhythmic focus, leading into the fuller, richer structure of Ohno in Danny Tenaglia’s twisted mix.

The deeper tone returns through Street Signin, which reintroduces warm textures and rolling movement. The episode concludes with Stuck In The Wash, shifting into Minimal and Deep Tech elements that add a clean, late-night finish. The final stretch maintains the deep, understated character that Velvety Elements is known for.

Velvety Elements 290 highlights DJ Joshua’s smooth balance of Deep House and House, mixing classic rhythms, warm sounds and subtle late-night rhythm to create a relaxed and cohesive listening journey.
