This is me. I managed to get my first on-air gig at the age of 14. I basically grew up on the radio back in the 80s. I worked on and off in radio for the next 11 years, mostly in Wichita Falls, but also in Albuquerque, NM. Most recently I worked for 89.7 Power FM in Dallas. In 2004 I quit working to stay home and take care of my then one year old daughter. Even doing the most important job in the world, you can start to feel like you need something else. For me I decided to fill my need for creativity by starting lost80s.com. I registered the domain name way back in 2001 and it's taken me all this time to finally fulfill my dream of having my own radio station. This whole thing is of course a work in progress. I'd love to get your feedback on what I am doing here, the songs I am playing, what I am doing right and what I'm doing wrong. Feel free to contact me anytime. Thanks for listening!

Oliverio Martinez is Lost80's #1 collaborator.

Oliverio was born & raised in Chicago, USA but in 1980 his family decided to move to Monterrey, Mexico were he has lived ever since. In order to keep practicing the english language, Matracas would listen to the weekly American Top 40 countdowns. This would lead him to achieve a high level of love for music to the point where he says he can't live without. He has a vast knowledge of 80's music due to the fact that; living in Mexico, gave him the opportunity to not only listen to what was going on in America via Billboard or Mtv but also a lot of music from overseas; artists that many times did not even release albums in the US.

Since Sept. 2008, Oliverio has turned into Lost80's "go-to" guy when it comes to suggesting 80's music that was popular outside of the US for the station. He is also in charge of the blog where he keeps our listeners up to date with what's going on with the station.
