  • Hello and welcome to the Monaco Weekly.

  • For today's show I speak with veteran Italian dj, producer, chef and label owner Manfredi Romano, known as DJ Tennis.

  • He tells me more about the early days of his career and his latest projects.

  • I studied computer science at uni and to pay my bills I was doing every kind of job.

  • I was a chef in a restaurant and also I was working in a record shop.

  • And every time there was a.

  • And a record shop was actually very famous for punkarcourt music.

  • And every time there was American band coming to Europe, they were asking the record shops or friends of friends.

  • Anyway, they're asking if there is someone can drive us throughout Europe, because we need somebody who knows how to handle like European traffic, Italian roads, etc.

  • Etc.

  • And I was always the one.

  • Yeah, it's me, I want to go.

  • So I ended up with vans with the stinky bands around Europe many times since I started my tour managing career.

  • But was that the music that you love or what kind of music did you love back then?

  • I actually love every DIY punk, I would say derivative music.

  • Either it was hardcore or post rock or emo core.

  • Like I loved bands such as, like Black Flag, Fugazi, Juno 44, Sonic Youth.

  • These were my, my bands.

  • Like the bands was listening on a regular basis.

  • And do you still.
