Lyrics
Last Dance (4x)
My heart beats …
My heart beats on the rhythm
Your cold feet
Just in time
Meet me in the middle 
In he middle of night
Last dance
Lights
Hit the light
Break it down
Break it down baby
Rewind
Rewind the time
Shut the lights
Be mine
Be all mine
For a last dance 
Yeah

Last Dance

With his willingness to push his sonic boundaries, Tim Bernhardt, a.k.a. Satin 
Jackets, showcases a different variety of sounds and vibes on the sixth single “Count
on you.” The smooth and steady rhythm of "Count On You" pulses like a heartbeat, 
with layered arpeggios building up to the perfect tempo. The bassline provides a 
warm and inviting soundscape, with atmospheric leads that never get too 
overwhelming. With "Count On You," Tim manages to create a feeling of warmth 
that's often missing in contemporary dance music. It’s a modern exploration into new
possibilities while still reconnecting with what once was, and without getting 
sentimental.

you in a surf coast shimmer of indie rock, smooth electronic and folk, to harness a 
batch of songs drenched in sunlight and reflection. Created over the years between 
Mansionair’s records (two albums to date), as well as compelling features for 
Odesza, Dom Dolla, & Rezident. Having amassed a slew of accolades to his name 
already including a Grammy nomination and US Gold Record for ‘Line Of Sight', 
alongside Australian Gold Records 'Easier', and 'Astronaut (Something About Your 
Love' and ‘Line Of Sight.' Jack continues to shine through his songwriting, vocals 
and production. Working alongside his good friend Ross James (Upsidedownhead),

the same time).

Lyrics

Why give a shit
You can just check out
Why stay in itThere's just one way out
The deck is stacked
Put your best foot forward 
Another day you're overwhelmed 
By the noise of the adverts 

Path down seems long
Salad days are gone
Just quiet quit - don’t overthink 
We know where we are 

Why change the world? 
You can just change worlds 
When even try again?
Just rip it up instead
Why change the world ? 
Why change the world ? 

Why take a shot?
It's a free for all
And don’t you be the one
Who stays too long
Why did you think
That our time would be different ? 
You’re gonna have to watch this 
Place go down
Like everybody else is 

Keep a weather eye
Get to work on tim
eWhere do I sign on this form? 
Below the bottom line 

Why change the world?
You can just change worlds 
Why try at all
when you see its all gonna fall? 
Why change the world ?
Why change the world ? 
Can't you just change worlds? 
Can't you just change worlds? 
Just change worlds

Why Change The World

For 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 Rogers 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.
