I noticed the swelling of the double bass first, quickly followed by the fluttering of brushed cymbals. A saxophone pushing against the edges of a melody swiftly married the notes together, chords drifting haphazardly before reaching a slow, pulsing groove. The jazz quartet performed in front of a liquor cabinet lined with whisky bottles; low-hanging lights teetered overhead, throwing shapes on the monochromatic marble-tiled floor. Outside, a leafy veranda was filled with diners, the music drifting through flung-open doors and windows.

The resurgence of past genres like electrofunk and disco is evident in modern EDM, as demonstrated by acts like Satin Jackets, led by Tim Bernhardt.

"Yacht rock is whatever we say it is," he asserts with a smile. "It's in our interest for the definition to be as all-encompassing as possible."
