Pain Management returns to OHM with our final date at the club of 2026.
We close the year’s programming the way we opened it. With a heavyweight session of low-end business. No ceremony.
Babe Roots (Torino) play a peak-time live set of rib-breaking sub pressure. A decade on from their eponymous debut album, the duo’s productions have earned permanent shelf space with dub obsessives everywhere. Someone summed it up better than we could, in a comment under their latest drop: “a Babe Roots release is an event in your life. Don’t take it for granted”. Live, it’s worse - or better, depending on your subwoofer’s opinion. This is happening Halloween weekend. Plan accordingly.
Toma Kami comes in from Paris. MB Studio boss, Livity Sound veteran, he’s spent the better part of a decade carving up dancefloors. An 808-heavy, schizoid blend that jumps genres with a particular flair for the juked-out 160 zone. At this point he’s your goat’s goat, your fav’s fav - the reliable heavy hitter who doesn’t miss.
Hermenia heads over from Warsaw. FURDA boss, dub connoisseur, no-frills riddim deployments only. She’s held it down at the crest of Poland’s new wave of system music and opens Friday on brand: a trademark session of low-end goodness.
Closing is Aeriform - a dangerously slept-on Berliner and longtime PM affiliate. Quietly renowned in the city and his native Italia alike, his polyglot sensibilities were honed over a decade of crate-digging and dancefloor-shaking. If you know, you know. We couldn’t think of anyone better primed to close out our last party of the year.
Don’t sleep.

the whole biography
Hermeneia is a Warsaw-based DJ and vocalist, and the founder of Radio Lola and the FURDA event series — platforms devoted to underground sound system culture. Her sets weave together old-school dancehall, dub, contemporary halftime heavy-hitters, and hazy illbient textures, crafting a hybrid that goes hard but doesn’t take itself too seriously. With regular shows on LYL and Noods Radio, Hermeneia has made appearances on Boiler Room, NTS, Edwin and Kiosk Radio, steadily building her presence across the European scene. She jumped on the mic for a guest vocal spot on the 2023 compilation ALWAYS + FOREVER from do you have peace? — joining a dreamy lineup with Zaumne, HTRK, YL Hooi and Jabu.Recently at NBB Gallery, OHM · often with Eleftheria, Leona (Refuge Worldwide), Sarah San, none of them here on Friday
