Sapiens – Culture Shop [Stellar Fountain]

Stellar Fountain returns this week with a deep and soulful cut from Sapiens. Hailing from Israel, Alan Sharpear aka Sapiens last appeared on the Hungarian imprint in October of 2013 with his ‘Fuzzy Driver’ single. Now four years on following releases on ICONYC and Pangea, Sapiens returns to Stellar Fountain with ‘Culture Shop’ alongside remixes from Yuriy From Russia and Anthony G.

The original mix is incredibly distinctive and it’s the musicality which makes it so memorable. The framework is rock solid with a warm rolling groove, bright percussion and a gorgeous string of chord stabs. Super groovy and rhythmically very catchy, it’s the lead motifs which shine, cross cultural and undeniably soulful they carry a gorgeous break and play perfectly off the muted tones during a smooth third act finale. Brilliant stuff from Sapiens.

The first interpretation finds Yuriy From Russia returning to the label for his ninth appearance which follows releases on Crop Circle and Reelaux Digital. Always a creative remixer Yuriy puts a more progressive spin on ‘Culture Shop’ with a full driving groove, wispy atmospherics and emotive chord changes. The lead motif is utilized in a much subtler way, chopped up, reprocessed and ultimately blending into to the harmonic haze throughout the seven and a half minute journey.

The release concludes with Anthony G making his debut on the label. The Bulgarian artist is known for releases on John OO Fleming’s JOOF Recordings and Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic’s Mistique Music. Now making a long awaited appearance on Stellar Fountain Anthony closes the release out with a darker, progressive interpretation of ‘Culture Shop’. The tempo comes up slightly as does the drama with gritty stabs, shifty atmospheres and swirling metallics. It’s darker undertone works well with the chopped lead theme, making for more of a hypnotic resonance which should be massive with the pure progressive house DJs out there. A very well rounded release for Stellar Fountain with all three artists delivering some of their best ever work. Highly recommended.
