Triple J Radio: DJ Tennis

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.
