Founder and A&R of Life and Death, Manfredi Romano grew up tour-managing punk bands and organizing left-field music events in Italy around the turn of the Millennium. 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 synthesized electronic constellations. His label Life & Death has challenged the status quo in regards to Techno, House and indie dance music and has given rise to incredible acts such as Tale of Us, Mind Against, Marvin & Guy, Mano Le Tough and many more. His most recent achievement comes in the form of the highly regarded Rakastella mini-music festival during Art Basel Miami, created with fellow DJ and friend DixoN, owner of the world-renowned Innervisions label.
