During his formative years, DJ Joshua dedicated extensive time to perfecting his DJ skills and curating a diverse range of music, including deep house, techno, drum and bass, and chillout. The 1990s in Portugal were a time of cultural tension, as the rise of rave and underground music, particularly techno, met with significant societal resistance.

His efforts played a crucial role in building the local music scene, attracting fans from different cities and establishing a strong foundation for house and techno in Portugal.
After the birth of his first child, DJ Joshua chose to step back from event planning and radio hosting to prioritise his family. However, as his daughter grew, his passion for music reignited, leading to the creation of the Floating Beats podcast and radio show. This weekly programme offers an engaging mix of electronic music genres, providing listeners with a dynamic and immersive experience. The first hour of Floating Beats features a diverse array of tracks, blending different styles to craft a unique listening journey.
In the second hour, DJ Joshua delves into the soulful and melodic aspects of house music with Velvety Elements. This segment explores the emotional richness and intricate rhythms of deep house and melodic techno, presenting a thoughtfully curated selection of tracks that highlight the genre’s unique qualities.

His selections cover a broad spectrum of electronic music styles, including deep house, tech house, melodic house, Detroit techno, soulful house, progressive house, and melodic techno. His DJ mixes and podcasts, available on platforms like Mixcloud, have continued to grow a loyal and expanding audience.
To DJ Joshua, music is more than just sound—it’s an art form that combines elements to evoke profound emotions and physical responses. He views his work as a means to engage listeners on multiple levels, offering a transformative experience that resonates long after the music ends.
