History
QS1 Studio started in summer 2018 in Charlottenburg as a private music studio space for the two founders Lorenzo Jacobsen & Diego Soto.
It quickly became a multi-room project, eventually encompassing the entire ground floor of a retired industrial space. Over 4 years, we gained valuable DIY experience, built new walls, recorded EPs, hosted legendary events, and made countless friends. However, we had to leave our Quedlinburger Strasse location when the building was demolished for a new hotel.
In June 2022 we luckily transitioned to a 1000m2 location in Weißensee, where cleared and rebuilt the site by hand and with lots of help of friends to what it is today.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all the people who we met along the way. From lending a helping hand in construction to offering advice and support, each person involved has left a mark on QS1.
