One of those rare talents that exhibit a profound and exquisite sensibility as an artist, Daniel Tagliaferri's Ivory turns heads at every corner, and his latest delivery for ICONYC is no exception. As the aqueous hue of the winter seeps through the cracks with every ticking minute, the Milan-based DJ and producer graces us with "When It's Cold", an arresting piece that channels the infinite intricacies of an ever-evolving snowflake.

Shrouded in a haze of mystery, Ivory's "When It's Cold" sees lively percussive patterns intertwined with reversed vocal apparitions, creating a hypnotic foundation for the track to blossom over a stabbed low-end sequence. Seamlessly, iridescent synths ebb and flow across the piece like northern lights, setting a warmer tone before an enchanting vocal motif takes over, infusing the piece with a new color at every twist of the kaleidoscope. Showcasing Ivory's technical prowess, the synthetic layers take captivating shapes, growing in tension before dissipating completely into the ether in a spellbinding act of aural wizardry. As it resumes its path, "When It's Cold" interlocks its pieces in new ways, uncovering wonder after wonder with a dazzling sense of curiosity only the Italian artist can convey.
