Pain Management

Pain Management returns to OHM for a midsummer gathering centred on the outer reaches of dub and sound system music. Each performer approaches low-frequency music from distinct angles while sharing a common attraction to pressure, space, and dissolution. John T. Gast has traced pathways through steppers, industrial dub, noise, and abstraction for over a decade. Mexico City's NAP brings a sound shaped by rhythmic repetition and dubbed-out mutation. Trailcam arrives fresh from a debut on Northern Electronics with elusice trip hop adjacencies and dub techno murk. Closing the night, Eleftheria and Significant Other guide proceedings into the early hours with gritty system music.
