BEAUTIFUL TRACK !! NICE AND SMOOTH VIBES !!  C'EST SI BON !!

Some might say the future looks bleak, but it doesn’t in the world of Tim Bernhardt. Better known as Satin Jackets, he manages to see a light at the end of the tunnel with his new single “The Future” - created together with the Australian veteran collaborator Panama. As we stumble into a new year, Tim manages to move forward with a song that washes over you like warm, rolling waves, cascading again and again. “The Future” conveys a sense of comfort and hope, while its subconscious repetition provides the pulse that makes you feel alive. As Panama sings: “There in my heart, in the future”, there is no doubt that what is coming may be uncertain, but Satin Jackets is here to tell you that it will be alright. Wherever you might be listening to “The Future” - be it at a beach club, on a mountain top, or at a rooftop bar - Tim's ability to make you feel in the right moment, at the right place is at play once more.

“The Future” is the first song to be released on Tim’s own independent imprint “Golden Hour”. It’s a symbolic title for a song predicting what’s coming.


Manche mögen denken, dass die Zukunft nicht immer rosig aussah in letzter Zeit, aber in der Welt von Tim Bernhardt ist das nicht der Fall. Besser bekannt als Satin Jackets, schafft er es, mit seiner neuen Single “The Future”, die er zusammen mit dem australischen Musikveteranen Panama erschaffen hat, ein Licht am Ende des Tunnels zu sehen. Tim beginnt das neue Jahr mit einem Song, der einen mitreißt, wie eine Welle, die immer wiederkehrt und dabei ein wohliges Gefühl von Wärme, Trost und Hoffnung verbreitet. In der rhythmischen Wiederholung liegt ein fortwährender Puls, der Lebendigkeit verbreitet, während Panama singt “There in my heart, in the Future”. Die Zukunft mag ungewiss sein, aber Satin Jackets ist hier, um das Gefühl zu vermitteln, dass alles gut wird. Wo auch immer “The Future” laufen wird, sei es in einem Club am Strand, in einer Rooftop Bar oder auf einem Berggipfel - Tims Fähigkeit, im richtigen Moment das Gefühl zu geben, am richtigen Ort zu sein, ist stets ein Teil der Rezeptur.

“The Future” ist der erste Titel, der auf Tims eigenem Independent-Label “Golden Hour” veröffentlicht wird. Es ist ein symbolischer Titel für einen Song, der voraussagt, was kommen wird.

Lyrics

When you lie
Here alone,
The lying is lonely,
Looking out,
Looking up,
Now that the falling is lonely,

Going the wrong way,
I love you but,
Want you to know,
God i love you but,
 I’ve got no control,
No no don’t get me wrong,

There in my heart,
There in my heart,
 In the future,
 There in my heart,
You’e there in my heart,
 In the future

There in my heart,
There in my heart,
 In the future,
 There in my heart,
You’e there 


Hanging out let me up,
Where the water is blue now,
Looking down down below,
It’s like I’m falling slowly,

Going the wrong way,
I love you but,
Want you to know,
God i love you but,
 I’ve got no control,
No no don’t get me wrong,

There in my heart,
There in my heart,
 In the future,
 There in my heart,
You’e there in my heart,
 In the future,

There in my heart,
There in my heart,
In the future,
There in my heart,
You’e there,
In the future

The Future

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.
