DJ Lupini did a series of workshops summer 2024 to make a mix tape and DJ performance at Rotherham Show.
Lupini hosts her own show on NTS and she worked with the group to get them to think about stories in relation to music. Why did they choose the songs for their mix, what does it mean to them and are there things they might like to share when they play their songs.
