Velvety Elements 335 welcomes back DJ Joshua for another edition of his long-running show on Scientific Sound Asia. Scientific Sound Asia operates as an Asian electronic music radio station, DJ agency, promoter and music news platform, connecting underground artists and listeners across the region and internationally.
Based in Évora, Portugal, DJ Joshua has been involved with electronic music since the 1990s, developing his outlook through vinyl, cassettes, CDs and later digital formats. His background spans a wide range of electronic music and provides the foundation for a career built across DJing, radio, event organisation and production.
That experience shapes the identity of Velvety Elements, where Joshua concentrates on the warmer, soulful and groove-led side of his collection. His programming favours smooth pacing, subtle rhythmic movement and measured transitions that allow individual tracks to develop naturally.
Joshua remained connected with Portugal's underground scene through event organisation, collaboration and support for local artists. After stepping away from regular musical activity to concentrate on family life, he later returned through Floating Beats and gradually rebuilt his presence in radio.
Velvety Elements developed during that renewed period of activity, giving the softer side of his musical identity a dedicated platform. The programme has since become a regular outlet for selections built around groove, melody, depth and continuity.
His studio work under the Joshua Marian name reflects much of that direction. Soul Zone and Love My Soul on Bassment Tapes, together with Tengo Rojo and Restless Lips on 659 Records, form part of a catalogue centred on warmer rhythms and melodic detail.
How to Play Guitar on JFLM Recordings takes a more melodic route, while Always on My Mind and I Can Go, You Can See on 14th Level Of Paradise continue the deeper side of the project. Joshua Marian gives him a distinct space for productions that sit naturally alongside the character of Velvety Elements.
Joshua also records as K Joshua, using the alias for more hypnotic, spacious, dub-influenced and experimental ideas. Promised Work on Kopoc, Stranger Things on dublucid, As You Are on Liberty Rhythm and Slow Laziness on Ghetto Rhythms Records illustrate that more abstract side of his catalogue.
Working under different identities allows Joshua to separate contrasting studio ideas while retaining a clear purpose for each project. Joshua Marian carries much of the warmer and more melodic material, while K Joshua provides room for deeper and more experimental productions.
In 2024, Joshua launched JFLM Recordings as an independent outlet for his productions and collaborative work. The label gives him greater control over how new material is presented while providing a dedicated home for music connected with the different sides of his studio activity.
That production work feeds naturally back into his radio programmes and broadens the perspective behind each edition. Velvety Elements 335 continues the series with another carefully paced session shaped by Joshua's long-standing connection with groove, melody and deeper electronic music.
DJ Joshua opens Velvety Elements 335 with Stablematic's Cryogenic and Deebop's Feelin' Good, establishing the warm, understated Deep House character that shapes most of the episode. Borrowed Identity and Mechanical Soul Brother then introduce a straighter House Music groove with Ruhephase In D-Moll, adding a firmer rhythmic contrast without disturbing the set's relaxed flow.
Jimpster's Far Side brings the programme back into deeper territory through Freerange Records, followed by Franck Roger's Canyon's Talk and Jazir's Keep Going. These selections keep the middle of the mix focused on restrained low-end movement, spacious percussion and the soulful club character central to Velvety Elements.
Joshua Marian's Tengo Rojo shifts the balance briefly towards House before DJ Sneak's What You Expecting From Me restores the deeper groove. Mick Jerome follows with C'Mon, continuing the Deep House run with a compact, club-oriented arrangement and maintaining the episode's steady pacing.
Delicious Inc.'s Back To Roots introduces another House selection before Inland Knights bring a funkier edge with the Greenbay Jackers mix of Figure It Out. That Funky House turn gives the closing section extra swing before the final track changes direction once more.
Jay Tripwire closes with The Count, moving into Tech House for the episode's final selection. Across Velvety Elements 335, DJ Joshua keeps Deep House at the centre while House, Funky House and Tech House provide short, carefully placed variations around the main groove.
Listen to the live radio broadcast on Tuesday, October 6th, 2026, between 6 and 8 p.m. Indochina Time. If you happen to miss it, you can catch a replay on Friday from 6 to 8 a.m. ICT.
