Magnetic Magazine Recordings returns for its 24th label release with a hypnotic remix from Dias Ridge—this time flipping Night Breeze’s “Wanaka Springs” into a drifting, triplet-driven club cut. The track is out today across all platforms and marks the first official appearance of Dias Ridge on the label.
Known for his melodic sensibility and fluid use of rhythm, Dias Ridge pulls the original track into a deeper, more fluid direction without losing its club utility. There’s a deliberate focus on timing here, with the swing of the triplets giving the track both momentum and space. For anyone who’s been trying to incorporate non-standard grooves into their own work, this is a solid reference.

The remix arrives a few months after Dias Ridge’s killer release End to Begin on Where The Heart Is Records—a record that first caught our attention for its blend of jazz-rooted piano work, trance nostalgia, and grounded storytelling. His appearance on the label has been in the works since then, and Wanaka Springs (Dias Ridge Remix) felt like the right track to make that introduction.
It adds clarity, space, and a distinct rhythmic pull.
Night Breeze has been quietly building out a catalog of melodic club tracks that blur the line between introspective listening and floor-focused performance. Their original Wanaka Springs was a highlight in our recent Magnetic Mix 256, and this remix builds on that energy with a slightly more percussive edge and the momentum continues to build with Dias Ridge’s highly unique and avante guard rendition of one of the label’s more popular releases this year.
For DJs, it’s the kind of tool you can drop into a peak-hour set to create contrast without breaking energy. For producers, it’s a reminder that groove doesn’t always come from complexity—it comes from confidence in timing.
Listen to Wanaka Springs (Dias Ridge Remix) now on Beatport and all streaming platforms.
