DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid have spent twenty-five years igniting dance floors with cutting edge music not limited by national borders or language. In 2002 they founded ANDAZ, a Bhangra and Bollywood party that ran for 18 years and was only stopped by a global pandemic. With DJ E3 they co-founded the Pacific Northwest’s first Global Bass dance party (Atlas 2003-2013.) They currently host TROPITAAL! A Desi Latine Soundclash (est. 2013) the second Saturday of every month at the Goodfoot. Few DJs can be said to have changed the sound of their city but that is exactly what DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid have done since they first introduced Portland, Oregon nightclub audiences to the many varied sounds of Global Bass at a rowdy New Year’s Eve debut in 2000. They are most known for incinerating dance floors with the heavy dance floor artillery of South Asia, but the duo scour the globe for any hard-hitting music that combines local music traditions with window-rattling production. They cofounded Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Kush, a weekly radio show on KBOO Community Radio which will celebrate 20 years in January. For seven years they hosted Chor Bazaar on XRAY.FM a show dedicated to the vintage sounds of South Asia, Latin America and beyond. From early beginnings as rabble-rousing Powell's Books workers who were part of the effort to create ILWU Local 5 to DJing all four nights of Sasquatch's 10-year anniversary to DJing the governor's inaugural ball Anjali and The Kid have woven themselves into the tapestry of the PNW for a quarter of a century.

In addition to hosting their own club nights, Anjali and The Kid regularly perform at festivals. They have appeared at Sasquatch! Music Festival, Decibel, What The Festival?!, MusicfestNW, Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration, Beloved, Matatu (Oakland), Photosynthesis, Soul’d Out, Portland International Film Festival, Indian Summer Festival (Vancouver, B.C.), Kaleidoscope and Vancouver Queer Film Festival to name a few. They have guested at the legendary Basement Bhangra (NYC) numerous times as well as Non Stop Bhangra (SF), iBomba (NYC) and Bhangrateque (Chicago.)

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, Bollywood and Global Bass on New Year’s Eve 2000. A series of residencies followed, beginning with a night at the legendary Blackbird, and the duo began hosting their 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 16 years. While ANDAZ was still in the bloom of youth, Anjali and The Kid founded the revolutionary dance night ATLAS (with co-host/DJ E3) at Holocene in November of 2003 to introduce Portland clubs to the Global Bass sounds of Balkan Beats, Reggaeton, Funk Carioca, 3Ball Guarachero, Digital Cumbia, Urban Desi, French and Arabic Hip-Hop, Rai N B, Reggada, Dembow, Dubstep, Kuduro, Merengue Urbano and other future diasporic musics.

They have supported artists as diverse as A Tribe Called Red, Bomba Estéreo, Tigerstyle, Major Lazer, Skrillex, Flying Lotus, Saini Surinder, Digable Planets, Delhi 2 Dublin, Sleigh Bells, Glitch Mob, Dengue Fever, Blockhead, Edna Vazquez, The Decemberists, Pink Martini, Portugal. The Man, Uproot Andy, Ming & FS, Hindi Zahra, Toy Selectah, Quantic, Opiuo, Sub Swara, Bonobo, Plastician, Bobby Friction, Kiran Ahluwalia, Gold Panda, Maga Bo, Poirier, Kultur Shock, Ghostland Observatory, Heems, State of Bengal, Karsh Kale, DJ Rekha, DJ Spooky, CeU, Antibalas, & Nickodemus.

The Incredible Kid continues to host Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Kush (est. 2006) on KBOO.FM, 90.7FM Portland every Tuesday night (10PM til Midnight.) For seven years Anjali and The Kid hosted Chor Bazaar, a show dedicated to the vintage sounds of South Asia, Latin America and beyond.
