Lupini is a DJ and broadcaster based in Liverpool. She is a bit of an unsung hero if you ask us, having worked tirelessly behind the scenes of endless projects and as the station manager at the city’s Melodic Distraction.

More recently she has been broadcasting music on NTS, on which she has launched her own show and has gathered a core following of listeners who have gravitated towards her selections which span the breadth of dub, post punk, ambient and the leftfield fringes of electronic music.

She’s been pivotal in helping to push and promote a wealth of musicians from the North and has documented this off piste music culture from Liverpool, Manchester and beyond for the love of it growing as a DJ and an artist in her own right at the same time.

This tape reflects a scenario she describes as being best listened to on “a fuzzy Sunday with a Scorpio-rising full moon, as folks come in on the roll-through and need their heads rattling a bit.”

This one goes deep, we’re delighted to include one of our favourite selectors in the series.
