Velvety Elements 323 on Scientific Sound Asia welcomes back DJ Joshua for another edition of his long-running show. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency and promoter, publishing music news and connecting audiences across the region and internationally.
Based in Évora, Portugal, DJ Joshua has been part of electronic music culture since the 1990s. He developed a broad musical perspective through vinyl, cassettes, CDs and digital formats, with House Music sitting at the centre of his approach.
Although his interests have also moved through Techno, Drum and Bass and Chillout, House has stayed as his main foundation. That connection shapes Velvety Elements, a show focused on warmer, deeper and more soulful shades of the genre.
Joshua stayed active during quieter periods in Portugal’s underground scene through event promotion, collaborations and support for local artists. After stepping back to focus on family, his return through Floating Beats re-established his presence in radio and opened a platform for deeper musical exploration.
Velvety Elements grew from that same creative direction, placing emphasis on flow, texture and understated energy. The show favours smooth grooves and continuity rather than immediate impact, building each episode around depth and atmosphere.
His studio output as Joshua Marian has been particularly active in recent months. Soul Zone and Love My Soul on Bassment Tapes, along with Tengo Rojo and Restless Lips on 659 Records, cover Deep House and Soulful House territory.
How to Play Guitar on JFLM Recordings moves into Melodic House and Techno, adding another dimension to his production work. A forthcoming two-track release on 14th Level Of Paradise, Always on My Mind and I Can Go, You Can See, extends his Deep House direction and is due in July 2026.
The K Joshua alias moves into rawer territory, with Promised Work on Kopoc, Stranger Things on dublucid and As You Are on Liberty Rhythm covering Hypnotic Techno, Dub Techno and Ambient influences. These projects show the wider range of his catalogue, from soulful House material to more experimental underground forms.
In 2024, he launched JFLM Recordings as an independent outlet for his own productions and collaborative work. The label gives his music a dedicated platform while supporting long-term artistic development within underground electronic music.
DJ Joshua presents episode 323 of Velvety Elements on Scientific Sound Asia, with a house-focused selection moving through Deep House, House Music and Tech House. The episode features music from Subb-an, Eddie Leader, Franck Roger, Josh Butler, Luke Alessi, Damian Lazarus, Cinthie, Hipp-E and Luciano Gioia.
Subb-an opens with Sunchaser on Aus Music, setting a Deep House tone through the instrumental version. Ben Diggins follows with Song With My Father, before Eddie Leader and Desos move the early section through House Music with Believe In Something and Rolig Rolig.
Franck Roger brings the mix back into Deep House with Won't Hurt on Real Tone Records, adding a stripped and groove-led feel. Intr0beatz then returns to House Music with Move To Create, keeping the rhythm clean and direct.
Josh Butler’s Only Eight adds another Deep House entry through Factory 93 Records, while Luke Alessi shifts the centre of the episode into Tech House with Guacamole. Damian Lazarus follows with Y Don't U in the Cinthie remix, bringing Crosstown Rebels into the later part of the show.
Hipp-E’s Strange Daze appears in Hank's Full House extended mix, returning Velvety Elements 323 to Deep House with a deeper late-section groove. Luciano Gioia closes the episode with Dancers Reunion on Groovebom Records, ending the show inside the underground house sound that shapes this edition.
Tune in to his live radio show on Tuesday, July 14th, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. Indochina Time. If you miss it, you can listen to a replay on Friday from 6 to 8 a.m. ICT.
