The acclaimed German nu-disco producer SatinJackets has released “First Thing” featuring the vocals of the UK singer Tailor. This new track, the third and final pre-release single from the forthcoming Satin Jacketsdouble LP Reunion, fuses the signature Satin Jackets Ibiza ready balearic nu-disco sound with tasteful modern synth pop, a great example of what makes this forthcoming album a level up from the producer’s already successful first two records.

“Throughout 2020 we recorded a number of what we called Lockdown Streams” explains Bernhardt. With almost no promotion those sessions ended up being streamed over a million-and-a-half times, but for Bernhardt the real reward was the response from fans. “We had so many positive comments from people saying how these streams had helped through difficult times or simply put a much needed smile on their faces. Despite being unable to connect in person, these sessions helped me rediscover the power that music can have to create shared moments.”

“It allowed me to rediscover the connection between what I do and what people feel and that fed directly into making ‘Reunion’,” elaborates Bernhardt. “There’s a lot of despair and division in the world right now but it is so important we try to stay positive and hold onto the things that bring us together. There’s few things that can do that more than music, and that was the thought I took with me when I started work on this album. Not just the idea that music brings people together but going beyond that, asking why we do the things that we do and feel what we feel.”
