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.

BIO
Spanish below----------------------------
Coco was born in a coconut tree on a deserted and remote island in the South Pacific. Under the shade of a palm tree he took his first steps and slept his first naps. One day he decided to build a raft with the shells of the coconuts he had eaten until then and launched into the ocean in search of new lands and adventures.
After much sailing and long napping, he shored in the city of Barcelona at the beginning of the 21st century. Disenchanted with the way of life in the northern hemisphere, he decided to create in 2009, the Incipient Republic of Freedonia, nerve center of Barcelona´s underground, in the heart of the Raval. After some years in the background, programming and listening to the sets of the best DJs in the city, Coco decided to come out as The Coconut. Just one year after his premiere, Coco has shared booths with artists such as Curses, La Mverte, Álvaro Cabana, Javi Redondo, Middle Sky Boom, Freudenthal, Martin Noise, Morze, Lokier, among others, in addition of playing most of the most important venues in Barcelona such as Apolo, Laut, This Side Up, The Garage of the Bass Valley, the legendary Pikes in Ibiza, some clubs in Berlin as Polygon or Rummels Bucht or in Tuscany (Italy).
Expect a hot dance floor with sessions of Dark Disco, New Wave and Italo with brush strokes of Post Punk and Electro.

Spanish ----------------------------------
Coco, nació en un cocotero de una isla desierta y remota del pacífico sur. Bajo la sombra de una palmera dio sus primeros pasos y durmió sus primeras siestas. Un buen día decidió construirse una balsa con las cáscaras de los cocos que había comido hasta entonces y se lanzó al oceano en búsqueda de nuevas tierras y aventuras.
Después de mucho navegar y mucho dormir la siesta, orilló en la ciudad de Barcelona a principios del siglo XXI. Desencantado del modo de vida en el hemisferio norte, decidió crear en el 2009, la República Incipiente de Freedonia, templo neurálgico del underground barcelonés, en pleno corazón del Raval. Tras años en un segundo plano programando y escuchando los sets de los mejores dj´s de la ciudad, Coco decidió salir a la luz como The Coconut. Transcurridos apenas un año desde su estreno, Coco ha compartido cartel con artistas como Curses, La Mverte, Álvaro Cabana, Javi Redondo, Middle Sky Boom, Freudenthal, Martin Noise, Morze, Lokier, entre otros, además de pinchar en la mayoría de los clubs más destacados de Barcelona como Apolo, Laut, This Side, The Garage of the Bass Valley, en el legendario Pikes en Ibiza, en clubs berlineses como Polygon y Rummels Bucht o en la Toscana (Italia).
Espera sesiones pisteras de Dark Disco, New Wave y Italo, con pinceladas de Post Punk y Electro.
