She's been spreading her name right across the country and after releasing her sophomore EP My Right Name, she's won us all over completely.
It's no secret that we at Purple Sneakers love a good remix. It allows for the artist and the song to be totally reworked and thrown into domains and styles you wouldn't think about, giving the song new textures and life, and that's exactly what we've got in store for you today. Taking her original EP and throwing it into the hands of some of Australia's most exciting emerging artists, LUPA J has shared today an entire remix EP with reworks from the likes of Marcus Whale, OK Sure, Land Systems, mara and elkkle.
