Satin Jackets at The Venice West

The name is Satin Jackets, and the vibe is exactly what that sounds like: smooth, warm, a little sun-faded around the edges. On Friday, December 18, the Hamburg producer brings his blend of house and nu-disco to The Venice West in Venice for a late-night set running 10:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.

Tickets are $29. You need to be 21+.

Who Is Satin Jackets

Tim Bernhardt has been releasing music as Satin Jackets since 2011, and the sound hasn't changed much in the best possible way. He makes dance music that feels like it belongs near the ocean, melodic basslines, bright chord stabs, vocals that hover in the mix rather than demanding attention. Think disco filtered through modern production, Balearic house, the kind of thing that works both on a beach at 4 p.m. and in a small room at midnight.

He's released on Eskimo Recordings and has collaborated with artists like Thallie Ann Seenyen and Stereo Express. His sets pull from his own catalog but also work through a wider landscape of Italo-adjacent and cosmic disco. There's a clear thread from Giorgio Moroder through to where Satin Jackets sits today.

The Venue: The Venice West

The Venice West is a small club in Venice, right in the heart of Abbot Kinney territory. A few hundred capacity, a proper sound system, no pretense. It fits the Satin Jackets approach: close to the DJ, everyone on the floor.

Venice in December is quieter than the summer tourist rush, which means parking is easier and the crowd skews toward people who actually wanted to be there, not passersby who stumbled in. A late-night show starting at 10:30 p.m. plays to exactly that crowd.

Practical Details

Date: Friday, December 18, 2026 Doors / Start: 10:30 p.m. End: 2:30 a.m. Age: 21+ Price: $29 Tickets: axs.com

Getting there by car, Venice parking on a Friday night in December is manageable. Abbot Kinney and the surrounding streets have metered spots; the meters typically run until 10 p.m., so post-10:30 arrival means free street parking in most spots. Check local signs. Rideshare drop-off on Abbot Kinney itself is straightforward.

From Silver Lake or Echo Park, it's roughly 25 minutes by car at that hour. From downtown, 20–25 minutes. Budget a little extra if you're eating dinner in the neighborhood first, Abbot Kinney has good options for a pre-show meal.

Worth Going?

If nu-disco and Balearic house are your genres, yes, clearly. Satin Jackets is one of the more consistent working producers in that space, and a small-room show on Abbot Kinney is the right setting for this kind of music.

Even if the genre is only vaguely on your radar, this is the type of show that converts people. It doesn't demand that you know the records. It just asks you to be on the floor.
