Fans were shocked and confused about what had happened when Ohm Cocktail or Ohm Pantapol Prasarnrajkit posted a message announcing his departure from the management of the music label GeneLab and 19 under the GMM Music umbrella, officially. The company will continue managing artists and independent labels not affiliated with GMM Music.
Regarding Ohm Cocktail's path as an executive of GeneLab and 19 under GMM Music,
- GeneLab is a music label under GMM Music focusing on alternative and rock music, founded by "Ohm Cocktail"
- The label began when Nick Vichian, founder of Genie Records, told Ohm it was time to start a label because GMM hadn't produced new artists for a while
- Nick invited Ohm to co-manage GeneLab as a space for new artists, and Ohm took on the role of managing the label
- Ohm Cocktail managed with an understanding of artists, abandoning the "been around longer" mindset, focusing on collaboration and guiding works to audiences
- Ohm said the idea was to create a separate division from the parent company to experiment with new artist production methods, manage freely, and select experts in each field, like a "laboratory." This resulted in discovering core artists who became the label's main revenue contributors
- The approach sought new working methods without sticking to traditional music industry models to produce fresh works
- They developed highly popular new bands such as Three Man Down, Tilly Birds, and TaitosmitH, emphasizing promoting artists' uniqueness and individuality
- Under Ohm's leadership, GeneLab became home to top artists including Three Man Down, TaitosmitH, Tilly Birds, The Darkest Romance, Only Monday, ASIA7, Hard Boy, ADORA, Famoso, Par-T, Kong Huayrai, Jigsaw Story, Goky Kwisara, QEETHA, fit aroon, M DAOSAI, AYEJAY, Dena Euprasert, and ossey
- On the morning of 11 Mar 2026 GMT+7, Ohm Pantapol posted that he was stepping down as GeneLab executive, confirming no conflicts but completing his mission and pursuing personal goals, leaving the label's foundation for artists to be self-sufficient and continue working
- GeneLab remains part of GMM Music, and all intellectual property remains with the original company despite the change in main management
