Satin Jackets

Satin Jackets, the brainchild of German music producer Tim Bernhardt, has been a shining star in the music scene since its inception in 2012. Drawing inspiration from the polished productions of icons like Chic and studio genius Trevor Horn, Tim embarked on a mission to bring back the glamour and sheen of the modern disco era. “It always sounded like the musical equivalent of a fashion magazine’s cover,” Tim elaborates.

The result of his creative pursuit was “You Make Me Feel Good,” a sublimely laidback slice of Balearic House that served as Satin Jackets’ introduction to the world. Released on the renowned Belgian label Eskimo Recordings, this single swiftly established Tim as a prominent figure in the thriving nu-disco scene, even though the face behind Satin Jackets remained somewhat of a mystery. Nevertheless, his warm sound resonated with music lovers worldwide.

Over a decade has passed since the inception of Satin Jackets, and the project shows no signs of slowing down. With three outstanding albums in its discography, Satin Jackets continues to evolve, captivating and enchanting audiences across the globe. Collaborating with a stellar lineup of artists, including Panama, Tensnake, and Booka Shade, Satin Jackets has crafted a musical journey that pays homage to its disco roots while pushing the boundaries of modern sound. In the summer of 2025, the fourth album Cruise Control was released on his own label, marking another milestone in the project’s evolution.

Since 2023, Tim has been releasing his music on his own label, Golden Hour Recordings, in a quest to refine his art and elevate it to the next level. He can now be found effortlessly moving between the vibrant scenes of clubs and rooftops around the world as well as Berlin, the heart of Germany’s music scene.

With more than a decade of innovative tunes and musical adventures, the journey of Satin Jackets is as vibrant and compelling as the music itself.
