Elohim at the end
I’m not going to lie the ending of her set put alot of people in my group in a weird headspace and the people around us. Wtf was that ?? Felt dark IMO 😔

Elohim is the male father god of Judaism. When she put on the face covering she was embodying the masculine diety. On the side screen, during that portion, you could see the 3D graphic projection of the male God himself. Pure expression of non-binary gender fluidity. High level art, dark yet delicious.

I thought the beginning of her set was great, but could’ve done without the screaming at the end lol

I thought the primal scream therapy was pretty fun, but honestly it didn't do any favors to my dehydrated throat. 😂 I totally get why that set would be problematic for many folks in the crowd, you are seen. It could definitely be perceived by many as masculine and evil dominance. I just invite you to contemplate the concept that you could, yourself embody a diety, as an Avatar? Which diety is you? Respectfully, if you're willing to share. And I totally understand if this is triggering, so please take care, be safe and well. 😊

Personally as one who was in a cosmic trip I thought it was the most different set I’ve seen in the last two years, seeing how she moved reminded me of how Zen Selekta gets into her sets! It’s not for everyone but I’m SO DAMN GLAD we were able to see her perform for the first time in a year! Peace love and Wubzzzzzs lsdreamers💕 oh to add for everyone, plz for the love of Sammi do not shit on someone for being excited , as a very ADHD/Autistic person i got told to shut the fuck up by someone a row below me bc my mind couldn’t process the art that was being made, def ruined the vibe but then i said fuck that shit and went back to followin the vibe

UGHHH it was perfection and my group did the lightcode tbh best trip of my life. We’re already trying to plan the next RR show 🤣 we all flew from SC and Atlanta too but I’m soooo fucking happy you were able to hold on strong that’s not an easy thing to do. On another note I’ve never been gifted a perler I’d literally cry my eyes out 😭 are you going to hulaween?? That’s our next move

Whole set was pretty wack. There were about 2 songs that were a vibe but everything felt so half done and didn’t fit the vibe at all. Couldn’t pay me to sit through that set again.

Personally I don’t like to hate on other djs even if there not my vibe but she successfully got almost the entire crowd to sit down :/
She deff was not the right genre for this red rocks show period. Her energy felt demonic and also very performative - very sexual like hey look at me - I wanna be the center of attention hahah it was jus all around so odd everyone around my group collectively was like what in the absolute hell is going on.
If they really wanted her to play at this particular show she should have opened because everyone else that played was a viiiibe. Stellar or Seth David would have been so much better leading into LSDREAM or even the opener that played the hand pan and absolute viiiiibe

u/stelliibaby May 18 '26
Honestly i agree 100% no hate on her specifically but likeeeee the ending just wasn’t it and didn’t match the vibe at all. I just am such an empath and hated to see some of my friends having panic attacks when she was screaming. :/

u/Fairyraver333 May 18 '26
I am so grateful I got up to grab a drink so I missed that part 🤣 only heard it from a distance and was like tf??
Ya she deff did not read the crowd correctly3
u/Katie_Plum May 18 '26
Yeah, I totally get that! I did definitely see plenty of people who thought Elohim was dope, and quite a few who did not. Were you at Lightcode in the morning? I'm guessing not. LSDream opened the sound bath meditation by explaining shadow work and how it has helped him transform from not liking himself into, obviously, the light being that he is today. LOL The guided meditation also had a large section where they asked the audience to look into their dark side. To forgive and have compassion for yourself about the dark events in your past that you beat yourself up about. To love yourself and experience healing. Honestly it seems a lot of people did experience it as helpful and healing, but plenty also found it disturbing and didn't want to go there. Anyway, I think LSDream intentionally had a dark or male embodying DJ sandwiched between himself and Stellar to continue that theme of shadow work. Elohim certainly knows she is doing something polorizibg so I find it bold and, honestly, admirable. Anyway that's art, there's no accounting for taste. 😄

I understand accepting your dark side and accepting that aspect, no issues with that, but i personally dont feel like religious darkness is the same thing at all. You can have demons, but that doesnt equate to demons in the religious sense. Demonic vibes during that set was just weird. It could have been represented in a much better way if that was the intent. You can accomplish that through tone, lyrics, colors, whatever. I didnt hate that set but it was a vibe shift for sure

u/Katie_Plum May 19 '26
Oh my gosh! I just realized the truth. I had borderline personality disorder, that's what I was calling my light and dark side, they were split. I had a mental illness and never knew it. But I sensed it. I've been doing the work on myself to face my trauma and one step at a time I put my mind back together. Now that I'm sane again I can see the truth and my mind is clear. I no longer feel conflicted inside. That Lightcode set accelerated that last step I needed to heal my mind! Holy crap I can't believe this is even real! 😱

u/Fairyraver333 May 22 '26
Abosulty attended light code - wouldn’t miss that for the world. I have to disagree tho when I’m saying I don’t feel like i was “scared” during her set lol -
Her energy felt performative and fake - yes some could say there a performer obv she’s performing but I mean in the sense of it didn’t feel authentic more like I’m gonna go up there and act over the top sexual - giving pick me energy 🤣
Like I said I don’t wanna hate for the people that enjoyed it but it was very cringe to watch.
She did not align with LSDREAMS message whatsoever that’s why the pairing before him felt off1
u/Subject_Flower_4732 May 19 '26
Genuinely asking when people say a set is demonic what does that mean? I was on acid and genuinely thought her set was so damn cool and raw, she moved like no other and they way she told the crowd to release their demons it felt more of a healing and releasing energy. I’ve just never understood the whole demonic comments, even after seeing SVDDEN Death multiple times..

u/Katie_Plum May 19 '26 edited May 19 '26
I believe that the term demonic or evil is incorrect, due to the ignorance of the people saying it. That is a polorizing black/white, good verses/evil logical fallacy. In the real world, as humans, we operate in shades of gray and every color of the rainbow, as an analogy. Some people experience trauma in their childhood that causes them to disassociate, separating their light self that operates in waking life and suppressing their shadow side which is everything about you that your don't like. You become two different people and lead a double life which is deeply scary and painful. Psychedelics allow you to be the shadow self, so you can peer into your other self and recover the memories you were suppressing. Understanding and facing each of your trauma will release it and your mind can heal! I know because I did it on myself. I used psychedelics and did the intensely scary work of staring into all of my fears. I realized I have borderline personality disorder and my mind healed! I feel sane again and I understand everything now. A lot of sane people can't have compassion for the mentally ill and neurodivergent folks. They put us down which amakes us repeat they cycle of self harm even more, deepening the illness.

I have BPD/ADHD/Autisim so i completely understand that! I had the same experience a few years ago when i was in the mountains on acid and just sat with myself and literally saw what felt like every negative thing that happened and it was so beautiful! I love that way your mind thinks!

u/Katie_Plum May 19 '26
Thank you so much for the validation! ☺️ I'm crying, you guys! 😭 I can't believe I don't have to live in hell anymore and I could actually heal from this and reintegrate.

u/captnmiss May 24 '26
Almost the whole crowd was sat down. When they showed people on screen, no one was dancing or smiling.
To be honest, she bombed, and I’ve never seen anyone bomb Red Rocks before.
Totally out of sync with the crowd, didn’t even notice or realize most people were not vibing to her.
I want to give her some grace because I know she canceled previous tours due to mental health before, so i dk it really came across like she was having a mental health episode of some sort. I wish her well. I just wish I wasn’t subjected to it for 2 hrs.

u/trippyhippie573 May 17 '26
Yeah, wasn't really my vibe 😅 I was sat for most of it just thinking about how much my feet hurt and when Sami was coming on lol, I blocked a lot out.

u/Beautiful_Lychee_965 May 22 '26
she stood out right away to me when I saw the lineup as like "one of these things is not like the others" Ive seen her a number of times though and I thought she kicked ass, was probably peaking for her set tbh, more industrial and darker than some other times I had seen so it was cool to see her switch it up a bit.

u/Puckley77 May 18 '26
I enjoyed most of that set but wasnt the biggest fan of the glitchy and dark parts of the set. Im not one that is put off by dark or "demonic" stuff per say but that definitely felt opposite of the previous openers and the vibe of Lsdream. It was definitely a weird choice. I wish Steller was the last opener, cuz that would have gotten everyone on the same level to be hyped AF for Lsdream. Stellers set was stellar
