Now it's all or nothing: 80s epic anthems selection with Julio Humada

Julio Humada, aka “Jota,” returns to the Blas Armando Productions bunker with 14 epic 80s anthems, the kind that still give you goosebumps no matter how many millions of times you’ve heard them. There is something unique about that musical grandiosity, transporting us to a higher place: a promise of a better world that, for several years, felt real. It was, without a doubt, the golden age of the mainstream, defined by that incomparable early digital hi-fi production that filled airwaves and dancefloors across the globe. The lucky ones experienced it firsthand, while the rest of us inherited it through our older siblings.
