Soundtrax for a Bazaar, also known as $on’ny Music, revives the vibrant legacy of the Turkish Bazaar at U-Bhf Bülowstraße, a multicultural hub from 1978 to 1991. 

When the U2 Line was interrupted due to the division of Berlin, the bazaar emerged on the inoperative train tracks, housing jewelry shops, wedding boutiques, cassette stores, and tea lounges – a lively meeting point for Berlin’s Turkish community. At its heart was the Gazino, where musicians tested their talents and visitors gathered for unforgettable nights of live music. 

Inspired by this history, the project collaborates with contemporary underground artists who embody Schöneberg’s evolving soundscape. Large-format billboards in the station and limited-edition cassette release honor the era’s tape culture; a free live concert transforms the space beneath the station into a communal celebration.
