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.

Akillès offers a rich and diverse musical journey, ranging from micro-house to captivating techno, while integrating a melodic dimension that maintains a deep and powerful groove. Passionate about melodic sounds, whether rock or electronic, he has crafted a unique sonic identity.

A lover of DJing for nearly 20 years, Akillès has shared his universe in iconic clubs in Lyon, such as Le Petit Salon, Le Terminal, and Le Sucre, as well as in Paris, Toulouse, Barcelona, and many other cities. His music asserts itself wherever he performs, capturing the emotions of the dance floor with every beat.

In 2019, he joined the XLR Events collective, and in 2022, he took over the artistic direction of the Parisian scene. The legendary club Le Nouveau Casino became his playground to organize melodic nights, further solidifying his place among the emerging figures of melodic techno.

In terms of production, Akillès made his debut in 2025 with a well-received first EP on Us & Them Records, a label known for its melodic techno productions.
However, it is 2025 that marks a turning point in his production career, with several tracks released on the 7 Lives Recording label.

The best is yet to come in the final months of this year and into 2026, which promises to be full of exciting new releases.

He has shared line-ups with artists such as 8Kays, Bog, Fidèles, Adana Twins, Len Faki, Massano, Mario Canale, Un:Said, Agoria, Monika Kruse, Agent of Time, Lee Curtis, Ryan Crosson, Alex Flatner, Sven Von Tulen, Popof, Hector Couto, and many more.
