Dan Soulsmith - DJ / Radio Host / Promoter

Biog:

In ’95 while studying design at college Dan met several creative people who introduced him to the work of F.S.O.L and Orbital. In ‘97 design brought him to Manchester to study at University, it was here that his passion for collecting music really took off; like many before him Dan spent his entire student grant and loan on a pair of turntables and a whole lot of vinyl. Around this time Dan discovered LTJ Bukem’s seminal compilation ‘Logical Progression’. This was his turning point! Hooked on that vibe, from then on he would endeavor to unravel the inspirations behind the work of the producers from within this field of what the press dubbed ‘intelligent’ Drum & Bass.
In 2003 Dan won a New Entrepreneur Scholarship at the Manchester School of Business, then with the help of a Princes Trust loan Dan set up his own business - Northern Groove Promotions. He then took it upon himself to get involved with the music that he was so passionate about.

Through Northern Groove, Dan provides online promotional solutions and PR for individual artists, and some of his most respected influences, currently including Electro-Funk pioneer Greg Wilson. 
Dan also worked closely with LTJ Bukem as Record Label Coordinator at Good Looking Records

From 2009 to 2011 Dan was involved with re-establishing Manchester’s leading live music venue Band on the Wall, which reopened after a 5 year period of redevelopment. There Dan worked as Assistant Club Night Promoter & Consultant, promoting nights such Craig Charles’ Funk & Soul Show Live, Manchester’s finest D&B night Soul:ution, as well as various live Reggae, Soul & Jazz concerts

Dan is currently working hard to establish his own club night, ‘Stretch Disco’, where he has provided a platform for such luminary guests DJs as Nicky Siano, Norman Jay, The Unabombers, A Guy Called Gerald and Greg Wilson.

The nature of his work enables Dan to indulge in his favourite pastime, that of DJing. After 14 years experience, Dan has learnt his trade by playing music to a far-reaching cross section of the Manchester community, holding residencies in many of Manchester’s bars and clubs.

Dan is also a capable radio show host, from 2009 to 2011 his weekly Northern Groove Show aired live across Greater Manchester on Unity Radio 92.8FM. Across two hours Dan would present a unique selection of eclectic ‘cosmic’ flavoured music, including Drum & Bass, Deep House & Nu-Disco. Looking back as well as forwards, his Northern Groove Show also highlighted classic and influential tracks from many genres, such as traditional Soul, Jazz, Funk, Reggae, Afrobeat, Disco, Electro, Hip Hop and House Music.
Today Dan broadcasts on BassDrive Radio, the world’s most popular online radio station dedicated solely to providing Drum and Bass 24/7. Dan’s weekly Northern Groove D&B Show specialises in ‘Deep-Rolling’, ‘liquid’ Drum and Bass flavours, he plays to a dedicated following of listeners from all corners of the globe. 

Dan’s passion for his music is unquestionable; his quest for knowledge concerning the roots of such music is paramount. Combined with a thirst for the latest releases, such dedication is reflected in his eclectic Radio Show and live DJ sets.

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.
