Cartwright recalled "I absolutely hated dance music ... But Rupert took me to a rave, and that was it for me.

===2011–present: reformation and ''Once More from the Bottom''===
In 2011 Cartwright and Keiller revealed a new Sonic Animation remix for [[world music]] outfit, [[Delhi 2 Dublin]].

In March 2013, after an almost six-year hiatus, Sonic Animation released their fifth studio album, ''Once More from the Bottom''. Adam Barbuto of ''Reverb'' noticed that "you get the feeling the lads from Sonic Animation have thrown their all into these songs and take this comeback super seriously. To somewhat refute any lack of confidence buyers may have had in the naming of the album, ''Once More from the Bottom'', I can safely say SonicAnimation are anywhere near it. In fact I'd say they are back on track and heading for those big city lights."<ref name="Barbuto">{{cite news | url = http://www.reverbstreetpress.com/online/cd-review-sonicanimation-once-more-from-the-bottom/ | title = &#91;CD Review&#93; Sonic Animation – ''Once More From The Bottom'' | last = Barbuto | first = Adam | work = Reverb | date = 5 March 2013 | access-date = 13 October 2015 }}</ref> ''Rip It Up!''{{'}}s Simone Keenan felt that "Although there's plenty of odd-ball tracks ... there is some quality too like the hip hop/dubstep 'Punk on the Dance Floor' (which sounds better than the title may suggest) and 'Take It from Me' which features guest vocals from Canadian songstress Sexton Blake. Dub, techno, funk, house...
