In his early years, DJ Joshua spent countless hours honing his DJ skills and curating a rich collection of music, including deep house, techno, drum and bass, and chillout.

His contributions were instrumental in nurturing the local music scene, attracting fans from across cities and solidifying the presence of house and techno in Portugal.
After the birth of his first child, DJ Joshua took a break from event planning and radio hosting to focus on his family. However, as his daughter grew, his passion for music was reignited, leading to the creation of the Floating Beats podcast and radio show. This weekly programme delivers an engaging mix of electronic music genres, offering listeners a dynamic and immersive experience. The first hour of Floating Beats features an eclectic selection of tracks, blending different styles to create a unique listening journey.
In the second hour, DJ Joshua explores the soulful and melodic sides of house music with Velvety Elements. This segment delves into the emotional depth and intricate rhythms of deep house and melodic techno, presenting a carefully curated selection of tracks that celebrate the genre’s distinctive qualities.
DJ Joshua’s shows are praised for their smooth transitions, expertly curated playlists, and profound understanding of the emotions and energy each genre conveys. His selections span a wide range 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, continue to build a devoted and growing audience.
For DJ Joshua, music is more than just sound—it’s an art form that combines elements to evoke powerful emotions and physical responses. He sees his work as a way to engage listeners on multiple levels, offering a transformative experience that resonates long after the music fades.
