This Never Happened is a record and event series created and curated by Lane 8.

Experience the moment. Don’t record it. This Never Happened.

Born and raised in Miami, Joshua D has spent over a decade traversing the globe, infecting dancefloors with his signature blend of heavy drums and Latin flair. Named one of JustCircuit's "Best Up-and-Coming DJs" in their 2014 Awards, he quickly proved that recognition well-deserved—performing at the historic 25th anniversary of Jeffrey Sanker's White Party Palm Springs and the inaugural 1LIFE Festival alongside Paulo, Tony Moran, Chus + Ceballos, and Robbie Rivera.

Those who experience his sets are struck by his ability to weave together seamless musical journeys—deep, intense, dark, and tribal. From his residency at LA's legendary Circus Disco to headlining Masterbeat events, Joshua D has shared stages with circuit royalty including Paulo, Tony Moran, Manny Lehman, Hector Fonseca, Isaac Escalante, Joe Gauthreaux, Tom Stephan, Pagano, DJ Escape, Ana Paula, Oscar Velazquez, DJ Aron, Alex Cohen, Luis Perez, Twisted Dee, Brett Henrichsen, and Rodolfo Bravat.

His international reach spans continents—from the Velocity Festival in Seoul, South Korea to Profile at Dublin's Academy, UNITED Afterhours in Vancouver, and events across the Philippines. Cities like London, Shanghai, Bangkok, and Mexico City have all felt the pulse of his tribal-tech sound.

When the world shut down in 2020, Joshua D pivoted to the virtual stage, bringing the circuit community together through innovative livestream events. He headlined Back2WERK alongside Paulo and Tom Stephan benefiting The Trevor Project, performed at Ascend Online supporting the TGI Justice Project, and even crossed borders digitally for Manila's HoeVID-19 Fiesta—proving that great music transcends physical boundaries.

As a producer, Joshua D has released official remixes on Audio4Play and Nick Harvey Music, including his remix of Hector Fonseca's "Bump" and Cherie Lily's "Body." His original tracks, remixes, and edits have been championed by Alexander, Steven Redant, Rodolfo Bravat, and Casey Alva in clubs worldwide. His Dirty Sessions Podcast—available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and SoundCloud—continues to deliver his signature tribal-tech sound to listeners across the globe.
