Founder and A&R of Life and Death, Manfredi Romano grew up tour-managing punk bands and, around the turn of the millennium, organising left-field music events in Italy. Having completed his studies in computer science at the University of Pisa, Manfredi went on to form DAZE, Italy’s first booking agency solely devoted to electronic music. Drawing on two decades of experience behind the scenes, Romano shifted focus in 2010, establishing himself as a DJ in his own right. As a performer, Tennis valiantly showcases an astute ability to create intimacy in even the vastest of gatherings. As a respected producer, Romano consistently channels his past relationships with post-rock luminaries such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Tortoise and Fugazi into intricately-synthesised electronic constellations. Recently he was invited by Triple J Radio’s Mix Up show to deliver an exclusive mix, and, in true DJ Tennis form, he did not disappoint.TracklistDonato Dozzy & Nuel - Aqua 5Skee Mask - Calimance (Delay Mix)Terence Fixmer - AccelerateArgy - Soft RainDj Nobu - SpringAcid Arab - Sidi GoujaShao - Sensi (Edit)Jo Ash - AngryDonato Dozzy - Cavallina MattaXXXY - Get BangedShackleton - TouchedCliff Lothar - Bona FeedLondon Modular Alliance - Peach HatScar - Hey YouMeat Beat Manifesto - Opaque Couche 05Kirk de Giorgio - The HubLeo Has - Is It (NRG 1992 mix)Sebra Cruz - Emilia Lain
