Emerging Danish producer Vladimir Alykov offers up two challenging tech-house originals that showcase his unique sound and that of the ever-evolving Highlands Music label."Pebbles" is a moody, driving floor-filler with cutting-edge melodies that are as fresh as a thin new fallen snow. Rolling drums, chunky bass line, and a housey vocal snippet gives the track a warm, funky feel that offsets the icy melodic elements that drive it. The result is the rare cut pushing the genre in exciting new directions.The second original, "Puddles", is shuffling tribal house cut that is powered by big room adrenaline but shows a minimal restraint that allows the track to build a subtle way that focuses on its deepness. The melodies are much less pronounced than the ones on "Pebbles" with a shift of focus to trackier tool precision for the B-side rather than A-side hooks.
