OHM

OHM is Tresor's intimate underground sibling, occupying the former battery room of the old Kraftwerk Berlin power plant at Köpenicker Straße 70. While Tresor dominates the main floors above with unrelenting techno, OHM offers something different—a quieter, more experimental space where the music matters more than the spectacle.

The Space

The venue's industrial bones are raw and unapologetic: exposed brickwork, tiled walls, visible piping, low ceilings, and minimal decoration. The space is deliberately small and intimate, with wooden blocks around the edges serving as makeshift seating. This isn't a club designed for Instagram; it's designed for sound. The low ceiling and compact layout create exceptional acoustics, and according to regulars, OHM houses one of the best sound systems in Berlin—clean bass that you feel in your chest, immersive enough that you're standing within the music itself.

The Sound

OHM's programming veers away from the techno-at-all-costs approach of its upstairs neighbor. The focus here is experimental, ambient, dub techno, breakbeat, house, and forward-thinking electronic sounds. The booking policy is adventurous: DJs and live acts explore the avant-garde and underground ends of the spectrum. Nights range from bass-heavy events to introspective ambient sessions, attracting residents like Detroit legend DJ Stingray and hosting events from collectives like Hotflush, Awkwardly Social, and Sneaker Social Club.

The Vibe

This is a self-curated crowd. There's no rigid door policy—sometimes no bouncers at entry at all—but the club asks one simple question: do you know what's on tonight? That alone filters out most tourists. The result is a local Berlin crowd that's here for the music, not the hype. It's unpretentious, intimate, and refreshingly focused. People don't come to OHM to be seen; they come to disappear into the sound.
