DJ Tennis: Life and Death Visionary

Manfredi Romano, universally known as DJ Tennis, is an Italian DJ, producer, and the visionary behind the influential Life and Death imprint. Originating from a background in punk rock and a career as a professional chef, Romano transitioned to electronic music, quickly establishing himself as a pivotal figure in the global melodic house and psychedelic techno scene. His label, Life and Death, has been instrumental in cultivating a distinct sound, fostering artists who blend intricate melodies with deep, often hypnotic rhythms. DJ Tennis is renowned for his extended, narrative-driven sets, which have graced major international stages from Circoloco in Ibiza to The BPM Festival, solidifying his reputation as a selector with a profound understanding of sonic storytelling.

Eclectic Melodic Journeys

DJ Tennis's musical style navigates a sophisticated and expansive spectrum, characterized by deep, emotive melodies, intricate percussive layers, and a subtle psychedelic edge. He skillfully traverses subgenres ranging from progressive house and cosmic disco to more driving melodic techno, frequently incorporating analog textures, unexpected vocal samples, and live instrumentation into his productions and DJ sets. While specific 2025 releases for DJ Tennis are not detailed, his extensive discography on Life and Death, including seminal tracks like "Divisions (feat. Fink)" and "Chirality," consistently showcases his ability to craft tracks that are both introspective and profoundly effective on the dancefloor. His performances are celebrated for their gradual, immersive build, evolving from atmospheric, sun-drenched openers to more intense, yet always melodically rich, peaks.
