We’ve been working with Dias Ridge for a few years now, and today we’re excited to share the next release in his growing catalog on Magnetic Magazine Recordings, this time bringing Pole Folder, Christian Hornbostel, and Night Breeze together for a new remix package of his single “Balance.” It’s officially out today, November 13, and seeing these names on the same release is particularly exciting for us, considering how much history we already have with each of these artists.
The original track arrived earlier this year as part of Interstice / Balance, which marked our 50th release on the label, and gave Dias Ridge another opportunity to explore the more rhythmically adventurous side of melodic house that first caught our attention when we started working together. With the remixes, we wanted to bring in producers whose individual approaches to progressive house could offer something different while still respecting the musical ideas that made the original worth signing.
And what’s particularly interesting about this release is how many connections already exist between the artists involved, from previous collaborations and remixes to interviews we’ve published and music we’ve released on our own label

Pole Folder and Christian Hornbostel Join Forces
Pole Folder has been an important name in progressive house for decades, and when we interviewed him last year about the 15th anniversary of his Reworck label, we spent a good amount of time discussing his relationship with DJ culture, the memories attached to certain records, and how those experiences continue to influence his work.
Christian Hornbostel has also become a familiar name around Magnetic Magazine Recordings, having released “Eridanus” earlier this year before returning with “Orbis,” which we premiered just last week. We’ve also taken readers inside his production process, and his background in electronic music production has made him an artist we’ve been especially happy to work with.
The two have collaborated previously, including Christian’s remix of Pole Folder’s “Elo,” so bringing them together again for a collaborative remix of “Balance” felt like a natural opportunity to continue that relationship while introducing their work to another artist on our label.
Night Breeze Returns to Remix Dias Ridge
Night Breeze and Dias Ridge have an equally interesting history, and it’s one we’ve been covering for years. We first featured their collaborative Deep Into The Blue EP on Where The Heart Is Records back in 2024, and shortly afterward sat down with them to discuss how they collaborate remotely, including the challenges of sharing ideas, exchanging project files, and trusting another producer to take a track somewhere you might not have considered yourself.
That working relationship continued when we released Night Breeze’s “Wanaka Springs” in 2025, followed by Dias Ridge’s remix of the same track, which actually marked his first appearance on Magnetic Magazine Recordings.
Now Night Breeze is returning the favor with his own remix of “Balance,” and knowing how closely these two have worked together makes the collaboration particularly interesting, especially when you consider how familiar they already are with each other’s production decisions and musical preferences.
Listen to Balance Remixes on Magnetic Magazine Recordings
We’ve also spoken with Dias Ridge about staying curious as a producer, particularly when it comes to resisting outside pressures and allowing his musical interests to develop naturally, and I think that’s an important part of why this remix package feels appropriate for the original record.
With Pole Folder and Christian Hornbostel contributing their collaborative interpretation and Night Breeze returning to music from an artist he’s worked alongside for years, the release brings together several relationships we’ve developed through Magnetic Magazine and our record label.
Balance Remixes (MMR085) is out now on Magnetic Magazine Recordings, with the original extended mix included alongside the new remixes. Check out the full release on Beatport and your preferred streaming platform.
