Claude Debussy (1862–1918)
Claude Debussy was a French composer and one of the most influential figures in classical music, widely regarded as the father of Impressionism in music. Born on August 22, 1862, in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France, Debussy’s innovative use of harmony, texture, and tone revolutionized the landscape of classical music, pushing the boundaries of traditional forms and paving the way for modernism.

Debussy’s compositions are renowned for their rich, evocative textures and lyrical expressiveness, often inspired by nature, art, and literature. His most famous works, such as Clair de Lune, Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, La Mer, and Arabesque No. 1, showcase his mastery of orchestration and his ability to evoke mood and atmosphere through sound. With a preference for ambiguity and fluidity, Debussy often broke conventional structures, opting for unusual scales such as the whole tone scale, and creating music that defies simple categorization.

A key figure in the late Romantic and early Modern periods, Debussy’s music bridged the gap between the lush emotionalism of the 19th century and the more dissonant, experimental styles of the 20th century. His approach to rhythm, harmony, and tonality has had a lasting influence on generations of composers, including Maurice Ravel, Igor Stravinsky, and contemporary film score composers.

Debussy’s health was often fragile, and he faced personal and financial struggles throughout his life. Despite these challenges, his music continued to gain recognition, and he achieved a prominent position in the French music scene. He passed away on March 25, 1918, but his legacy endures as one of the most innovative and beloved composers in the classical canon.

For over a decade now the name Satin Jackets has been synonymous with sublimely laidback Balearic house and sun kissed disco. The brainchild of German producer Tim Bernhardt who, following a successful career producing house music under a variety of different aliases, launched Satin Jackets as a vehicle to explore his lifelong love of disco and the clean, polished productions of artists like Chic and Trevor Horn.

“I had always been fascinated by just how glossy people like Nile Rodgers made their music,” Bernhardt explains. “It always sounded like the musical equivalent of a fashion magazine’s cover. I’d been making somewhat more underground music for a while but really wanted to go in totally the other direction and create this really smooth, polished sound.”

That first Satin Jackets release, the dreamlike You Make Me Feel Good, would set the tone for what was to come. Released on the iconic Belgian label Eskimo Recordings, which had previously helped launch the careers of artists like Aeroplane and Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas, it was an instant hit. Its graceful melodies, airy textures and yearning chorus became the soundtrack to the setting sun at parties worldwide.

With almost metronomic precision You Make Me Feel Good was followed by a string of acclaimed singles and remixes for some of the genre’s biggest names, including Goldroom and Blank & Jones, establishing Bernhardt as one of the most exciting new names in the nu-disco scene. While the face behind the mask may have remained a mystery, Satin Jackets’ warm, polished take on disco soon made the name familiar to music lovers around the world.

Taking things to the next level, 2016’s debut Satin Jackets album, Panorama Pacifico, firmly cemented Bernhardt’s position as both Eskimo’s flagship artist and as one of the biggest nu-disco producers around. Winning praise from the likes of Mixmag, DJ Mag and Groove, the album has gone on to click up over 75 million streams on Spotify alone, and Satin Jackets’ golden mask has become a regular fixture behind the decks at clubs and festivals from Mexico City to Seoul.

2019’s follow up, Solar Nights, would see Bernhardt further develop and refine the Satin Jackets sound. Rapturously received by fans, DJs and press alike, the album, propelled by singles like the global hit ‘Northern Lights’, proved that, much like the original disco artists that first inspired the project, Bernhardt was just as capable of crafting radio friendly pop hits as tracks for the dance floor.

While the pandemic may have put plans for global tours and festival appearances on hold, Bernhardt kept himself busy as clubland went into hibernation. Having relocated to Munich just before lockdown, a succession of singles that ranged from out-and-out pop collaborations to instrumental, chilled-out tracks as well as a series of live Lockdown Streams kept Bernhardt in touch with his ever growing legion of fans. Indeed, it was those Lockdown Streams and the response from his fans that allowed Bernhardt to rediscover, in his own words, “the connection between what I do and what people feel” and sow the seeds for what was to come.

Now as we emerge blinking into the new world, Bernhardt returns with Satin Jackets’ third album, the aptly titled Reunion. Where the first two Satin Jackets albums saw Bernhardt work to first develop his own sound and then elevate his productions to another level, Reunion reveals a musician and producer wholly at ease with both his abilities in the studio and artistic vision. 

From blissful instrumental tracks that seem to effortlessly float above the clouds, through to bittersweet wistful pop songs featuring the likes of Australian star Panama, Belgian singer Ivy Falls, US based vocalist Metaxas and up-and-coming British singer Tailor, Reunion is a strikingly confident album that layers new depths and dimensions to the Satin Jackets sound and sets the stage for the next exciting chapter of the Satin Jackets story.
