Planet Roc is in this area that used to be a communist east german recording CITY!! Located on NalepaStrasse--its 1000 studios, ranging from closest full of vinyls records containing speeches and radio plays, to massive wooden opera halls with built in pipe organs. all built to withstand tank battles. It was built to record things from Symphonies to radio plays for propaganda and probably mind control purposes during the GDR regime.
Theres a patch bay ROOM, that has about 10 thousand patch holes the diameter of an orange... that connects any room they wanted to the broadcast tower, and also allowed them to spy on the activities (eavesdropping) into each room to make sure no anti-government material or discussions were happening.... shiza!! its an amazing, haunted, half deserted place--- right on the edge of Berlin, on a huge piece of property still with guards that check you out before you're allowed to enter. In the old days no one could enter but the employees and artists, now you just have to have legitimate reason (like when you're working there or have your own studio there....). Its also on the waterfront so theres a river (the Spree) running right on the property. xx
