The mentor
Who is Doc Malicia?
The "Doc" is real. Martha Espinoza is a physics engineer with a PhD in biotechnology, and she has spent her life between the lab, the classroom and the DJ booth.
As Doc Malicia she is a live performer, DJ and producer, resident DJ at Distrito Panamera, where she directs Panamera Sound Room. She has taught for more than a decade, from university courses to dance, founded Libera, and is the lead mentor of Unplug.
Her question has always been what music does to us. In the studio that means you learn what to press, and also why it sounds the way it does.
