Riverwards residents are in for a treat — Bourbon and Branch is bringing a killer show to the neighborhood on July 7th. It’ll be sample heaven, as eclectic synths and masked vocals take center stage when Dream Safari, Power Animal, and The Undercover Dream Lovers perform.

 Dream Safari is the one-man project of Chris Coulton, a local DJ and musician who is also known as the DJ of the Space Jams party at The Barbary. A mixture of pop and electronic music, Coulton superbly blends sidechains, minimal drums, and sampled instruments. On the track “Cosmic Canyon”, a xylophone floats effortlessly alongside of a synth. Meanwhile, tracks like “Mumbai” produce more of a world-music sound. Mixing many genres while remaining upbeat, fast, and focused, Dream Safari proves that you don’t have to conform to one genre anymore. An instant classic, this act is not to be missed. Be on the lookout for new music coming soon.

 Another radical band from Philly, Power Animal, will be sharing the bill as well. This group will make you dance like you do when you think no one is looking. The energy their music creates is fun, positive and sweet. Right now the band is selling their record on Bandcamp via Human Kindness Overflowing, and it’s selling for as little as $2. No reason to hold back — You should support these guys.

 Out of towners will also be playing the show. The Undercover Dream Lovers is a indie-pop project from producer/musician Matt Koenig of Brooklyn, NY. Koenig’s record, While It’s In Style, may have been produced in a bedroom, but it doesn’t lack any energy of a big production. Instead, it focuses on songwriting and catchy melodies.

So pop by Bourbon and Branch on July 7th. Doors open at 8, tickets are going for $7-10.
