During the 1990s, Portugal experienced a cultural conflict with the rise of rave music, which was seen as a contentious and polarizing genre. The lively rhythms and innovative sounds of rave music led to widespread resistance, leading to its eventual exclusion from radio broadcasts.
Amidst the turmoil, DJ Joshua stood out as a beacon of unwavering dedication to electronic music.
