Hailing from Évora, Portugal, DJ Joshua is a devoted lover of electronic music. His wide collection includes digital tracks, vinyl records, CDs, and cassettes, showcasing his strong dedication to the genre. During his early years, he spent numerous hours refining his DJ abilities and assembling a varied selection of music genres like Techno, House, Drum and Bass, and Chillout.
During the 1990s, Portugal experienced a cultural clash due to the rise of rave music, seen as a polarizing and contentious genre. The dynamic rhythms and innovative sounds of rave music led to considerable resistance and its exclusion from radio broadcasts.
Amidst the turmoil, DJ Joshua stood out as a symbol of unwavering dedication to electronic music. Despite encountering prohibitions and disapproval from society, he stayed loyal to the genre, continuing to create and distribute his music through unconventional methods and hidden venues.
Organizing House and Techno music events at various clubs and bars, DJ Joshua collaborated closely with his team to realize his creative visions. His influence extended beyond the local scene, drawing attendees from multiple cities.
Following the birth of his first child, DJ Joshua decided to decrease his involvement in event planning and radio hosting. He redirected his attention to fully embrace his new responsibility as a parent.
Witnessing his daughter's growth and maturity inspired DJ Joshua to rediscover his passion for music. This renewed excitement prompted him to launch a new project: the Floating Beats podcast and radio show.
From the beginning, the program has drawn a loyal audience eagerly anticipating Joshua's carefully selected playlist. Floating Beats, available on multiple respected online platforms, has emerged as a primary destination for electronic music enthusiasts.
DJ Joshua launched the "Velvety Elements" show out of a deep love for House music, aiming to celebrate the genre's complex emotional richness. His popular podcasts explore the nuances of House music, earning him a spot on various international House and Techno radio stations, including ours.
According to DJ Joshua, music is not merely sound; it is a potent form of art that combines various elements to evoke profound emotions and physical reactions. He views music as a spiritual sanctuary that captivates our senses with complex harmonies, offering a transformative experience for those who appreciate its magic.
With a dedication to engaging his audience in the true essence of the music, DJ Joshua aims to create an atmosphere that reflects its unique characteristics and origins. Through his passion and unwavering dedication, he aims to craft a unified musical journey that deeply connects with each person.
In January 2024, he broadened his horizons by delving into music production and founding JFLM Recordings to release his music. His musical works are known for their profound emotional influence, unwavering dedication, and profound passion for electronic music.
