ANiML Brings Remixes by Seth Troxler, Mathew Jonson, & Galcher Lustwerk. Out Now via Los Angeles Independent Label StrataSonic.
Independent LA-based label StrataSonic Records continues its rise as a home for genre agnostic electronic music with the release of a potent new remix EP, out today, with a physical release to follow on June 20. The project reimagines key tracks from Star Walk, the debut mini-album by enigmatic producer ANiML, which originally dropped this past winter. Bringing fresh perspective to the material are three artists from distinct corners of the underground: Seth Troxler, Mathew Jonson, and Galcher Lustwerk.
Seth Troxler, the legendary Detroit-born DJ and producer known for his hallucinatory take on house and techno, turns “Breather” into a psychedelic club weapon, trading the original’s trip-hop haze for buzzing textures, glitchy bleeps, and thick low-end propulsion. Mathew Jonson—an architect of live hardware performance and cerebral minimal techno—transforms “Baby D” into a cinematic slow-burner, rich with spacious delay, crystalline percussion, and immersive groove. Galcher Lustwerk, the NYC-based producer celebrated for his smoked-out blend of deep house and hip-hop, reworks “Bruv” into a noir-funk head-nodder, chopping the bassline into something fresh and swinging, layered with his signature crisp, unhurried drum work.
While the remixes retain the exploratory nature of ANiML’s originals, they reframe them through the lens of three singular producers, resulting in a collection that invites both deep listening and dancefloor immersion.
The release also marks a key moment for StrataSonic, whose evolving catalog signals intentions as a label committed to electronic experimentation and high-concept presentation. StrataSonic operates as a creative hub for genre-fluid, forward-thinking music, pairing each project with original visual content and encouraging collaborations that cross artistic boundaries. As label president Jesse Rogg recently described in an interview, the label’s mission is to let each release “live in its own aesthetic world,” cultivating a space where sound, story, and visual identity are given equal weight.
