'Northern Lights' is the new single from German music producer Tim Bernhardt of Satin Jackets and Berlin-based British vocalist and songwriter David Harks. Released on Belgium's Eskimo Recordings it follows on from recent Satin Jackets hits such as 'Feel Good' and 'Never Enough' and is sure to find favour with anyone who likes their disco Balearic and the pop cosmic. Following a recent trip to Norway to work with fellow Eskimo artists Atella and Cavego, Tim was moved to try and capture some of his experiences there in musical form. "After experiencing a world known for its Northern Lights, I wanted to take that concept and run with it, asking myself how we could reflect this phenomena in music," Tim explains. "Despite a busy schedule, I couldn't help but take a day off and go on a trip exploring the country and the depths and beauty of one of the Fjords in the area. It was absolutely breath-taking." Inspired by Tim's experiences and music David's lyrics narrate a journey out on the cosmic highway to find the Northern Lights, his soft vocal delivery underpinning the song's message and bringing a sense of warmth, nostalgia and expectation as we're led out in the dusk to explore the both the world below and skies above them. "We locked ourselves into the studio for a few days to let our imagination take its course and weave the impressions into music," David explains. "The end result was so vivid, it felt like I had been there for it all along" Keeping in line with the Nordic theme Carl Louis, former member of the famous duo CLMD, was called in to provide a remix that further explores the cosmic atmosphere the title depicts. The result is a remix that swaddles in a soft warm embrace, perfect for nights under limitless northern skies filled with innumerable stars and ever shifting auroras burning brightly in psychedelic colours.
