Following his acclaimed debut on ICONYC in late 2024, Italian producer Daniel Tagliaferri returns to the transatlantic label as Ivory with Want, a four-part suite that deepens his sonic language and sharpens his emotional vocabulary. With a precise command of space, rhythm, and tension, Want feels less like a follow-up and more like a statement of intent, one that situates Ivory among the most sensitive sculptors of the modern dancefloor.

Opening piece "Want You" operates on restraint and release. Beneath a tightly wound rhythmic chassis, Ivory allows elements to breathe: a spectral vocal motif slinks into view, met by tightly coiled bass pressure and gently oscillating synth lines. It's a slow ignition, offering tension without urgency, seduction without sentimentality.

"Like That" pushes further into the shadows, layering intricate percussive work against glowing analog textures. Arpeggios shimmer with a retro-futurist sheen, folding into themselves like fading memories. Ivory's treatment of space here is masterful—both intimate and distant, like hearing a whispered secret across a crowded room.

On "You" we seemingly go down a gear, as bells sway and chords unfurl across a liminal soundscape, offering a moment of introspection. Distant vocal fragments rise through the mist, barely audible yet emotionally insistent. An ambient vignette that hovers somewhere between reverie and farewell.

The final track, "What You Gonna Do", brings us full circle. Anchored by a hypnotic chord progression and a sultry spoken-word refrain, it's a slow-burning closer that coils around the listener with quiet magnetism. The mood is seductive, the structure patient, the emotional weight undeniable.

Somewhere between bold and disarming, Ivory's "Want" is a bewitching recollection of music that blooms in the crescent twilight hours, revealing layers upon layers of unbridled passion.

Their objective evolved into showcasing high-quality electronic music to audiences, aiming to reveal an alternative music scene not often highlighted in mainstream media. This scene prioritizes artistic expression and the joy of creating unique music over financial gain and celebrity status. For the duo known as PLUSplus, this mission hasn't been easy. Their journey has been gradual and challenging, but they're steadily achieving greater recognition. While they regularly perform in Slovakia, they've also taken their music to audiences in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Austria. Despite their progress, there's still work to be done to persuade the relatively small audience that even a small country like theirs has a place in the realm of high-quality music. PLUSplus's music embodies a melodic electronic essence, influenced by a blend of genres such as house, deep house, indie dance, melodic house & techno, acid/afro/house, and techno. Their performances are renowned for delivering vibrant and captivating vibes, igniting the dance floor with energy.
