Itz Malva

Mexico born and raised, living in Madrid,Spain since 2005. Project manager in a multicultural tech project, with a passion for music, especially all progressive/melodic domain. My relationship with music started at a very young age when I was allowed to play a piano and organ at a relative's house, after that I learned to properly play piano and organ.During my teenage years I discovered what I later learned was house and trance mid 90s. I fell into proand went to my first rave in Vancouver, Canada, in 1997. I fell in love with all about it and wanted to learn and live more of it. After a musical hiatus,my passion for all progressive/melodic was rekindled during 2020 lockdowns with Digweed's Bunker, Nick Muir's SuperTuesdays, Bushwacka's Vinyl Love Affair, Anthony Pappa's streams. Lemon8's Inner Sanctuary Live Sessions and some more, which made me earn the affectionate title from some musical friends: Queen of the Streams. Since then I have I met many of my musical heroes, amazing djs and producers, and also many people with the same passion and love for our music who I now call my music family. I cofounded GlobalProg in 2021 to promote the djs of our friends' group and do weekly live streams and guest nights with them and other amazing djs and producers we have met. This inspired me to get behind the decks and learn this trade as a way of storytelling and as a therapy because music is the answer always.
