In his formative years, he devoted countless hours honing his DJ skills and curating a wide variety of music genres such as Techno, House, Drum and Bass, and Chillout.
In the 1990s, Portugal found itself amidst a cultural clash as rave music emerged as a controversial and divisive genre. The energetic beats and unconventional sounds of rave music sparked a wave of opposition, ultimately resulting in its ban from the radio airwaves.
During this chaotic period, DJ Joshua emerged as a symbol of steadfast commitment to electronic music. Despite facing a ban and criticism from society, DJ Joshua stayed resolute in his love for the genre, persisting in producing and sharing his music through unconventional platforms and underground locations.
Embracing the task of organizing House and Techno music events in different clubs and bars, DJ Joshua worked closely with his team to bring his artistic vision to life. His impact went beyond the local scene, attracting audiences from various cities.
After the arrival of his first child, DJ Joshua chose to step back from event organizing and radio commitments. He shifted his focus to fully devote himself to his new role as a parent.

His podcasts, known for their thorough examination of House music's nuances, have secured him positions on several global House and Techno radio stations, including ours.
DJ Joshua believes that music goes beyond just being sound; it is a powerful art form that blends different elements to elicit deep emotions and physical responses. To him, music is a spiritual refuge that mesmerizes our senses with intricate harmonies and provides a life-changing journey for those who embrace its charm.
DJ Joshua is committed to immersing his audience in the true spirit of the music, establishing an ambience that mirrors its distinct character and essence. Through his deep passion and steadfast commitment, he strives to curate a cohesive musical experience that resonates deeply with every individual in the audience.
Expanding his horizons in January 2024, he ventured into production by introducing JFLM Recordings, with the goal of releasing his own music. His musical creations are characterized by deep emotional depth, consistent commitment, and a strong love for electronic music.
