Emika’s remix of Textbook Maneuver’s ‘Spacewalks’ arrived on 13 November 2026 via Life Science Records, marking another chapter in her boundary-pushing career. Raised in Milton Keynes by a British father and Czech mother and now based in southern Germany, Emika has established herself as a singular force in electronic and neo-classical music, working independently as a composer, producer and singer-songwriter. Her eight albums have drawn support from figures such as Thom Yorke and BBC Radio 1’s Mary Anne Hobbs, while her solo piano works have surpassed 17 million streams on Spotify. Her music has been sampled by The Weeknd and featured across film, television and video games. Emika’s live presence includes performances at Glastonbury and Atlas Weekend, and her immersive audiovisual show If We Disappear sold out planetariums throughout Europe. She launched Emika Records in 2015. Textbook Maneuver, originally from the Bronx and now based in New Jersey, is an experimental electronica composer and artist whose classical piano training meets a punk-inspired DIY ethos. His influences span Genesis, Rush, Gary Numan, The Postal Service, U.N.K.L.E. and Phantogram. His work has been reimagined by µ-Ziq of Planet Mu for an exclusive Wonderland Magazine feature, and he continues to expand as a film composer and sync artist, blending IDM, ambient and progressive electronica.
The remix opens with shimmering synthesised pads, layered beneath vocal sample swells and fluid basslines that evoke the sensation of drifting through open space. Percussion remains buoyant yet elusive, with a full kick drum emerging only in the latter half, sidechaining the mix to its pulse. As the track closes, percussion recedes, leaving the pads and vocal textures to linger in the atmosphere. The result resonates with fans of Æstral, enjoii and Bonjr. Emika’s approach serves as a direct studio dialogue with the original space-walk concept, constructed from micro-edits of the source material and live studio performances.
Emika shared: “The original track and concept of a space walk sparked so much inspiration, the remix is an intuitive response through my music and studio space. A lot of the textures are micro cuts from the original and the rest I performed live in my studio to capture the true nature of movement in there as a vibe.“
