ANJALI & THE KID BIO

DJ ANJALI & THE INCREDIBLE KID BIOGRAPHY
DJ Anjali and the Incredible Kid have played a transformative role in the Portland, Oregon club scene for over half a decade, hosting two of Portland’s longest-running and most successful dance parties. After making a name for themselves in their hometown’s lively 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, which found a permanent home at the Fez Ballroom in the Fall of 2002. For over five years DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid have packed the dance floor at the Fez the last weekend of every month, selling out on a regular basis. The focus of these parties remains hardcore Panjabi Bhangra with the sounds of Bollywood and the emerging genres of Asian Hip-hop and R&B featured in the mix.
In order to satisfy their growing fan base, they founded the popular monthly ATLAS (with co-host/DJ E3) at Holocene in November of 2003. 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, Funk Carioca, Reggaeton and international Hip-hop. Since introducing Portland club audiences to the amazing sounds of the South Asian diaspora the duo have remained in constant demand playing any number of one-off events nearly every weekend of the year in addition to their regular parties. The duo barnstormed New York in December of 2004 when they were flown out to headline a sold-out party at NYC’s oldest and best Bhangra party: Basement Bhangra, where Anjali has returned to play several times. In January of 2007 Anjali and the Kid headlined the opening night party of the Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration in Vancouver, British Columbia. They have also supported artists as diverse as Digable Planets, DJ Spooky, Tigerstyle, State of Bengal, Karsh Kale, DJ Rekha, Antibalas, Dengue Fever, Maga Bo, Ming & FS, Joro-Boro, J-Boogie, and Nickodemus from Turntables on the Hudson.
