LSDREAM

If you’re looking for a spiritual bass experience, we recommend checking out LSDREAM. Its psychedelic productions are out of this world and might even confuse your brain a bit, but that’s what spiritual experiences are for, isn’t it? Bordering on dubstep at times, LSDREAM has a knack for creating high-energy productions full of weird, weird bass wubz. With an hour-long sermon, we expect him to go strong from the first track and take the minds of each participant by the time their set is over. Be sure to watch LSDREAM’s performance as it wraps up the Same step of 1h30 to 2h30 to Saturday evening / Sunday morning.

SunSquabi

Saturday is packed with must-see back-to-back sets and SunSunquabi is one of them. The Denver-based trio were part of the second round of artists announced for SSBD and we’re thrilled with the addition! The combination of heavy jam group elements with live percussion and an electronic SunSquabi rocket will have you moving and wiggling all around the dance floor. The three musicians seamlessly move in and out of their own productions while creating enough space in each track to be played. They are real professionals and will fit perfectly into the atmosphere of Same Same But Different. Don’t miss SunSquabi close the Different steps to Saturday evening / Sunday morning of 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m..
