DJ Tennis

About

From physics to forward-thinking house, Manfredi Romano, better known as DJ Tennis, has recalibrated dance music with a distinctly intellectual yet deeply emotional approach. His sets, a masterclass in controlled chaos, weave together elements of techno, disco, and IDM, creating a sonic tapestry that’s as cerebral as it is danceable. Tennis’s breakthrough came through his uniquely textured productions and the founding of Life and Death, a label and party series that became synonymous with a sophisticated strain of underground dance music. He avoids easy categorization, favoring a sound that’s both raw and refined, a characteristic evident in tracks like "Divisions" and his remixes for artists like Baikal. His work often features melancholic melodies underscored by driving, hypnotic rhythms, reflecting a complex emotional landscape. Beyond his solo work, Tennis has become a sought-after collaborator, working with artists such as PillowTalk and Tale of Us. His influence extends beyond the DJ booth, shaping the sound of contemporary electronic music by championing emerging talent and pushing the boundaries of genre. Currently, he continues to tour extensively, captivating audiences with his immersive soundscapes and consistently expanding the Life and Death imprint.
