Circoloco Radio 263 - Chaim

IVLP11S1 Ivory - Feelin' 
Release date - 11|11|2022
Pre-Order Digital | Stream - https://lnk.to/Ivory_Feelin

On his debut album Feelin’, Ivory marries hi-tech sound design with the emotional pull of house for 10 tracks shaped by a multitude of club music and R&B. Album opener “Voices” infuses noirish melodratma with playful, pitch-shifted vocals that instantly lighten the mood. Next up, “Blank” draws from a similar blueprint, bolstered by low end pressure and ruptured rhythms. 

Ivory explains how “Do It My Way” embodies the underlying concept of Feelin’; “taking something and reworking it into a new shape that reflects your own personality as artist”. A cool electro cut warmed through with a dreamy hook, here, uplifting piano chords set the stage for what happens next. “Feelin’” is a dancefloor slammer, a healthy balance of tension and release that comes with an invite to conquer the floor. Heating up the album’s core, Tagliaferri works up an appetite for “I Need You Now”; a hulking warehouse cut built from barrelling, muscular kicks and a diced up diva house-esque vocal.

For “What I Do,” we are transported to a land of French touch with high-voltage basslines aplenty while the propulsive “Try” pulls the crowd back into room one for a huge, anthemic floor-filler underpinned by jagged synths. Ivory describes “Don’t Lose Control” as “one of the more emotional moments of the LP”; a track centered around dreamy pads, smooth house synth stabs and a disembodied post-human voice that sounds eerily poetic.

The LP’s penultimate track “Steps” leans on swirling, pearlescent keys and a sweet, balearic-tinged melody before “I Know What You Want” offers the ultimate sign-off statement, slicing through the razor-sharp mesh of synthwork with dueling vocals and sparky beats. Ivory creates his music by working with hardware, plug-ins, samples, and field recordings and he bundles all of this know-how into a distinctive album that lends itself to both reflection and liberation.
