Satin Jackets feat. Panama ‘Automatic’ (The Oddness Remix)

German nu-disco purveyor Satin Jackets aka Tim Bernhardt released his latest album Solar Nights a few weeks back on the Belgian label Eskimo Recordings.

A record littered with wonderful collaborations, it is in no way surprising that Satin Jackets is sharing some remixes of tracks from the album by established names and emerging talents. For the penultimate rework, emerging Melbourne producer The Oddness is on remix duties for Satin Jackets’ collaboration with Panama, ‘Automatic’. It is a transfixing sound loaded with echo and reverb and fuelled by a winding, hypnotic groove and chugging, relentless murmuring bass. The vocals from Panama are moody and emotive, adding an extra evocative and pensive touch as The Oddness dials down the tempo but ups the intensity, transforming the track into a cosmic, hypnotic wonder.

Satin Jackets – ‘Northern Lights’ (ft. David Harks)

artworks-000235392616-vfjbt4-original

German producer Satin Jackets has joined forces with Brighton-bred/Berlin-based artist David Harks for latest single ‘Northern Lights’.

Inspired by a recent trip to Norway and experiencing the Northern Lights, so moved was Tim Bernhardt aka Satin Jackets, the new single is his attempt to capture some of his experiences in musical form. ‘Northern Lights’ is as spectacular as one would imagine its namesake to be. It is a cruisy, disco-infused indie-electro delight with a chilled vibe, lovely floaty melody, a mild undercurrent of the Balearic and a healthy sprinkling of cosmic pop – due in no small part to some incredibly dreamy vocals courtesy of Mr. Harks. Undeniably infectious, this aural treat is sure to sooth your soul and get your head bopping to its pulsing electro beat groove. David Harks has been delivering the goods – under his solo guise & with Safetalk – for a while now but Satin Jackets is a new intro (for me at least), and one we’re better for.  Such is the high calibre of ‘Norther Lights’, let’s all hope these pair collaborate again in future.
