What is the Surface Club Party?
The Surface Club Party is one of Berlin's longest running old school black music nights, paying homage to West Berlin's club history and legendary former venues such as Studio Salue, Annabells and the Amber Suite. In May 2026 the series celebrated its 16th anniversary, making it one of the few black music parties in the city to run continuously since it began.
When is the Surface Club Party 2026?
The next edition takes place on Friday, 2 October 2026, running from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning at Maxxim Club Berlin. Guest list registration typically closes the day before at 6:00 PM.

Where does the party take place?
The venue is Maxxim Club Berlin at Joachimsthaler Straße 15, 10719 Berlin, just a short walk from Kurfürstendamm in the heart of West Berlin. The club is open seven days a week.
What music plays at the Surface Club Party?
The night centres on original old school black music spanning several decades: soul, R&B, funk, New Jack Swing, rap and hip hop, slow jams, Miami Bass and the classic Electric Slide all feature regularly. The party positions itself as a deliberate alternative to standard current chart DJ sets, focusing instead on the tracks that shaped the scene.
How much does entry cost?
Previous editions have charged around 15 euros with advance registration and RSVP via the official Facebook event page, or around 17 euros at the door; exact terms for the October 2026 edition are usually announced via the Facebook event and the Maxxim website closer to the date. Table reservations for groups are explicitly welcomed by the organisers.
Visitor Tips for the Surface Club Party at Maxxim
