Today, acclaimed Italian producer, DJ, and underground tastemaker DJ Tennis returns to his influential Life and Death label with a milestone release: a sun-drenched new single titled “Playa Paradiso,” featuring breakout UK vocalist and chart-topper Eliza Rose. Out now, the track blends balmy, euphoric energy with irresistible groove—an anthem tailor-made for beachside sunsets and misty-eyed sunrise sets.
“Playa Paradiso” also signals a turning point for Life and Death. With a fresh distribution deal signed with Above Board, and a cache of unreleased gems on the horizon, DJ Tennis is stepping into a new era. A longtime behind-the-scenes innovator, he’s now embracing his role as a front-and-center creative force. From punk tour manager to label founder, restaurateur, sound engineer, and host of the offbeat culinary series Munchietown, DJ Tennis has cultivated a reputation for championing genre-blurring expression. He even co-developed a multi-effects music bot with Teile Elektronik, adding yet another layer to his eclectic artistic résumé.
Now, he’s channeling all of that experience into what may be his most intentional production to date. “Playa Paradiso” pulses with vibrant instrumentation, nostalgic warmth, and tactile emotion—a modern house record with timeless appeal.
Joining him on the track is Eliza Rose, whose meteoric rise has seen her collaborate with global heavyweights like Calvin Harris and The Martinez Brothers, while still holding down vinyl-only sets steeped in UKG and house. She made history as the first female DJ to top the UK charts in two decades, and she continues to blur the lines between underground credibility and mainstream success. On “Playa Paradiso,” her playful, magnetic vocals radiate charisma—effortlessly seductive and soul-stirring.
Together, DJ Tennis and Eliza Rose have crafted a summer scorcher that doesn’t just burn—it lingers. “Playa Paradiso” is more than a track—it’s a moment, a movement, and a perfect embodiment of what Life and Death has always done best: bridging artful sound design with genuine emotional resonance on the dancefloor.
