The ten year anniversary of DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid!
After a raging, sold-out New Year's Eve dance party of epic proportions in 2009, DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid return to the Woods for another New Year's Eve party you will be remembering throughout the next decade. This party marks the ten year anniversary of Anjali and The Kid playing in Portland clubs as a duo since their New Year's Eve debut in 2000. Expect some banging Bhangra and Bollywood tracks along with Giddha Bounce, Tamil and Telugu percussion riots, the best in Urban Desi, and maybe even some forays into Merengue Urbano, Reggaeton, Booty Bass, and Balkan Beats, depending on the mood of the DJs and the crowd.
DJ ANJALI & THE INCREDIBLE KID BIOGRAPHY
DJ Anjali and the Incredible Kid have played a transformative role in the Portland, Oregon club scene for nearly a decade, presiding over two of Portland's longest-running and most successful dance parties, as well as hosting a cult radio show on KBOO community radio. They are most known for incinerating dance floors with the South Asian sounds of Bhangra and Bollywood, but the duo scour the globe for any hard-hitting music that combines local musical traditions with window-rattling production. After making a name for themselves in their hometown's raucous house party circuit, DJ Anjali & The Incredible Kid introduced the Portland, Oregon nightclub scene to the sounds of Bhangra and Bollywood on New Year's Eve 2000.
After a series of residencies, beginning with a six-month residency at the legendary Blackbird, the duo began hosting sold-out ANDAZ dance parties in July of 2002. The party's focus on hardcore Panjabi Bhangra and the latest electronic confections from the Bollywood film industry continue to pack the dance floor after eight years. While ANDAZ was still in the bloom of youth, Anjali and The Kid founded the popular monthly ATLAS (with co-host/DJ E3) at Holocene in November of 2003, in order to share more of their musical passions. The ATLAS parties provide a forum for the duo to feature other sounds in their repertoire including: UK Asian Garage and Drum'n'Bass, Middle-Eastern electronica, Balkan Beats, Reggaeton and international Hip-hop.
