Power Station (recording studio)

Power Station at BerkleeNYC is a recording studio on 441 West 53rd Street in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Midtown Manhattan in New York City.

[9][10] The new studio became a favorite for the Nile Rodgers/Bernard Edwards project Chic, which recorded several hit albums with Clearmountain at Power Station in the late 1970s.

In 1982, Jim Steinman produced two songs at Power Station that would simultaneously top the Billboard charts the following year: Bonnie Tyler's biggest career hit, "Total Eclipse of the Heart"[14] and Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing at All".

Other artists recording at the studio in the 1980s included Keith Jarrett, Bill Frisell, Grace Jones, Lou Reed, James Taylor, Bobby McFerrin, and Eurythmics.

[1] In September 2017, with the support of the New York City Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment and the Economic Development Corporation, Pete Muller with Berklee College of Music acquired the studios[16] and renamed them Power Station at BerkleeNYC.

In 1995, Sonalysts, which had begun as an underwater acoustics research company, licensed the Power Station's design and naming rights from Bongiovi and Walters.
