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.
In the 1990s, Portugal encountered a cultural clash triggered by the rise of rave music, which was viewed as a polarising and contentious genre. The lively rhythms and innovative sounds of rave music faced considerable resistance, leading to its exclusion from radio broadcasts.
During a period of turmoil, DJ Joshua stood out as a symbol of unwavering dedication to electronic music. Despite encountering bans and disapproval from the public, he stayed loyal to the genre, continuing to create and distribute his music through unconventional methods and secret venues.
DJ Joshua collaborated closely with his team to arrange House and Techno music events at various clubs and bars, transforming his imaginative concepts into reality. His influence extended beyond the local community, drawing attendees from diverse cities.
After the birth of his first child, DJ Joshua decided to decrease his involvement in event organisation and radio presenting. 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.
Since its establishment, the programme has garnered a loyal audience eagerly anticipating Joshua's carefully selected playlist. Floating Beats, available on a range of esteemed online platforms, has emerged as a preferred option for electronic music enthusiasts.
Driven by a deep love for House music, DJ Joshua launched the "Velvety Elements" programme intending to celebrate the genre's nuanced emotional richness.

DJ Joshua is dedicated to engaging his audience in the genuine essence of the music, aiming to create an atmosphere that reflects its unique characteristics and origins. Through his passion and unwavering dedication, he seeks to build a unified musical journey that deeply connects with each person.
