Founder and A&R of @lifeanddeath, Manfredi Romano grew up tour-managing punk bands and organizing left-field music events in Italy around the turn of the Millennium. 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. Known for his Artist Management capabilities is responsible for breaking artists like Tale of Us, Mind Against and Carlita.

Fine chef and restaurant owner, Tennis splits his time between Paris and Miami, where he enjoys riding motorbikes, collecting vintage action-figures and building upon his vinyl record collection - which now numbers over eleven-thousand strong.

What a Playground is a platform run by @lenabrecht aiming to feature emerging artists who share her passion for various facets of House music. A space of warm tunes, soft vibes, energetic melodies and new encounters. 

What a Playground aims to create an open and safer space for especially FLINTA* and BIPoC artists, encouraging them to play first sets to an appreciative, curious and diverse crowd. Curating DIY gatherings since summer 2022, the format is not only about creating pleasure and joy, but also about caring for each other. During each gathering we invite everybody to support a trusted organization whose work helps underrepresented people.

Here on SoundCloud sets from our community will be shared. Furthermore, this accounts aims to push the visibility of FLINTA* and BIPoC producers/artists.

What a Playground was co-initiated by @josi_ane who's focussing on different projects since August 2024. Thanks for sharing your energy, time and passion with us.

BIO
There are not many Alchemists left nowadays so finding one is considered a grace. Greek origin - Berlin based Hara Katsiki is one of them!
Hara is carrying - besides her extraordinary abilities - a Universal understanding about music and like a modern shaman, she is weaving a thread between sound and space-time creating a metagalactic cosmos, bringing a sophisticated sonic palette and perceptive ear to dancefloors.

Effortlessly sweeping you into the astral, Hara entwines her compelling cosmic selections from Balearic and Cosmic Disco to Italo, Indie-Dance, EBM, New Beat and infatuating rarities. Since 2019, Hara has been a member and resident DJ  of  Berlin based Slow Motion Records. A dependable force within Berlin’s revered scene which she now calls home. With slots at the formidable likes of Berghain’s Panorama Bar, Renate, Sisyphos, Kater Blau, About Blank, KitKat Club and many others, she is a strong figure within the nocturnal city and parties across the globe. 

With an impressive, multi-disciplinary past within the creative industries, the former model, stylist and art director channels her abundant passion into intuitive, sensational mixes. It is no mystery that aside from DJing, she is a  Quantum Healer and Visual Artist. It is clear that Hara delicately weaves this approach into her selections, presenting an enticing and alluring journey mindful of its surroundings.

Carefully chosen, warming gems fill her sets which lie within the realms of Balearic, Cosmic and Italo Disco. Hara explores the darker side of these genres but is not limited to them, driving you into a superterrestrial and ethereal experience. Powerful acoustic percussion, warm growling basslines and shimmering synths are a constant. 

Open your heart and let her take you on an interstellar journey through time and space.

Lennart Wiehe is a young German DJ, producer, and curator, shaping the sound and feel of some of the scene's finest institutions.

After moving to Groningen, The Netherlands at age nineteen, Lennart Wiehe became one of the early residents at acclaimed OOST (@komoost), where he invited progressive line-ups to his nights and thus helped shape the club's signature sound. Following an invitation of Marcel Dettmann (@marceldettmann), Wiehe was one of the youngest to have played both Berghain and Panorama Bar (@berghain) and relocated to Berlin. In 2021, he started a residency at Weltspiele (@weltspiele-club) in Hanover, once again granting the opportunity to curate his own forward-thinking nights.

In both production and curation, Wiehe stands in opposition to the trending race for the harder and faster by drawing towards intimacy, warmth and roughness in sound. Following this approach whilst avoiding stereotypes and the obvious, he stoically flips over genre-boundaries, and effortlessly combines techno, house, electro, IDM, pop, and more into a grooving whole. 

In 2022, Wiehe released his widely applauded debut EP 'Amb-Kombat' on the legendary Delsin (@delsinrecords) imprint. The record's four tracks merge tribal polyrhythms, techno futurism, and crisp, melodic bodies into one. Following up on this, in 2023, Wiehe launched his new label Kuratorium (@kuratorium) with his EP ‘Kontaktsport’, including a collaboration with .VRIL (@vril_01).
