ANiML Gets Reimagined by Troxler, Jonson, and Lustwerk on New StrataSonic EP

StrataSonic leans into its left-of-center identity with a sharp remix package from ANiML, out now digitally, with a physical drop following June 20. Titled Star Walk: The Remixes, the EP pulls three cuts from ANiML’s debut mini-album and runs them through the lens of three producers who don’t really follow templates: Seth Troxler, Mathew Jonson, and Galcher Lustwerk.

Troxler leads with a complete rewire of “Breather.” The original was slow and hazy—he flips it into something glitch-heavy and unstable, with buzzed-out synth layers and pressure in the low end. It’s loose but targeted, clearly built with weird 4AM rooms in mind. Mathew Jonson’s remix of “Baby D” moves at a different speed—less floor-driven, more headphone-ready. Long delays, soft melodic pads, and Jonson’s trademark sense of space make it the most spacious cut on the record.
Then there’s Galcher Lustwerk, who turns “Bruv” into a deep house track without sanding it down. The drums are dry and swung, the groove is subtle but locked. It’s patient and self-contained, exactly what you’d expect from someone who’s made his whole discography on that edge between hip-hop cadence and dancefloor momentum.
The original Star Walk project had its own internal logic—part ambient, part trip-hop, part club. These remixes keep that energy intact but give it more contrast. Each version sounds like it belongs in a different room, which works because ANiML’s music isn’t tied to one setting in the first place.
StrataSonic continues to build its reputation as a label that takes its time, avoids genre tags, and puts equal weight on visuals, music, and concept. Star Walk: The Remixes is another reminder they’re curating for depth—not volume.
