Friday, January 8th 2016, we host the official german record release party for David Bowie's new record ★ in the Meistersaal of Hansa Studios Berlin. In this time-honoured hall, Bowie reinvented himself after an enormous personal crisis and went on to create some of his most important work.
The Meistersaal/ former Hansa Studio 2, or, as Bowie called it, “the big hall by the wall”, has been renowned for decades for its excellent spatial acoustics, cherished also by Depeche Mode, Nick Cave, U2, and many other giants of music.
January 8th 2016 will be a very special day for Bowie's fans worldwide!
Not only will it be our idol's 69th birthday, but also, it will be the release date of the new Bowie record.
We'll start off the Bowie Berlin Party in the Meistersaal with an exclusive listening session of the new record BLACKSTAR ★ and our partner SONY MUSIC has planned some nice little surprises for the fans.
Our special guest of the evening will be Eduard Meyer, Bowie's & Iggy’s sound engineer at the Hansa Studios Berlin. He will talk about working with David & Iggy Pop.
In the lobby of Meistersaal we will show some very special new Bowie art from Berlin based gallery Egbert Baqué Contemporary.
This exclusive part of the evening starts at 20:00 CET.
We open the doors at 22:00 CET for the live performances & DJ party.
British artist Paul Henderson will play a special “unplugged” set of Bowie songs, and finally, Berlin based band PLeaSureDomE will have the place boiling live. To dance until the early morning, Trevor Byron Jones, the TVBQ Bnet DJ, will rock the Meistersaal.
The unique documentary “David Bowie is...” about the V&A's famous Bowie exhibition will be shown during the evening in the Green Saloon, the former control room of Hansa's Studio 2.

We're only getting started for the Bowie weekend on January 8th – on Saturday, January 9th 2016, starting at 8 p.m., the german Bowie fan club will be having its birthday bash in the small but lovely bar “Neues Ufer” in the district of Schöneberg. Formerly known as “Anderes Ufer”, this was one of David's and Iggy's favourite watering holes – as it is just down the road from their former apartments. For more than ten years now, this bar has been the friendly host of Bowie parties with sound, vision, and special life performances.
We'll host special tours of the Hansa Studios on Sunday, January 10th, as a perfect finish to the Bowie Berlin weekend. David's and Iggy's former sound engineer Eduard Meyer will give us special insight into Germany's most legendary music studios.
