While bombs tear apart the sky DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid tear up the Spare Room with bass bombs and sonic artillery that serve up nerve-calming barrages compared to the neighborhood conflagrations. Don’t have pets to care for or they are drugged at home? Come dance. American democracy is only 61 years old, dating to the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and it looks like the people who still remember those days before democracy are trying to drag us back. So, Anjali and The Kid throw a dance party for the people solidarity style. Genres be damned, Or so says Anjali.
For all of 2026 Anjali and The Kid are celebrating 25 years as a DJ duo!
Take the sultry vibe of the Latin American Tropics, combine with the rhythm of India (“Taal”) and stir into TROPITAAL! A Desi Latine Soundclash where the hottest club sounds from India and Latin America go head to head in an all-night dance-off of epic proportions. Resident DJs Anjali & The Incredible Kid combine their deep passions and deep crates from across the spectrum of Latin, Caribbean & South Asian vibes. Expect to hear a mix of Bhangra, Dembow, Future Filmi, Reggaeton, Baile Funk, Panjabi Rap, Trap & Drill, Moombahton, Electro Cumbia, Tribal Guarachero, Dancehall, Bollywood, Desi Bass & Global Bass party classics.
“Portland’s beloved TROPITAAL! party celebrates its 13th anniversary.” Resident Advisor 5/9/26
“DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid aren’t exactly under-the-radar among clubgoers ‘round these parts, and there’s a good reason for that. The duo—who first formed for a New Year’s Eve party 25 years ago—rattle windows with Desi bass, reggaeton, and darkwave chillers like nooooobody else in town.” Portland Mercury 12/26/25

DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid’s Holi Summer Fest
A Celebration of Color
At McMenamins Grand Lodge 3505 Pacific Ave, Forest Grove, Ore. 97116
HOLI HAI! After four sold-out Holi Festivals Anjali & The Kid bring their color throw experience to Forest Grove for their biggest Holi yet featuring all organic colors handmade by farmers and tribal communities in India. A Bollywood and Bhangra dance party in the grass with Anjali’s Gulabi Gang dance troupe and the PDX Bhangra troupe.
Color throws at 4:30, 5:30 & 6:30PM.
Note that the actual date of Holi occurs in March, but in the Pacific Northwest celebrations of the festival are often pushed back as far as June to take advantage of better weather and dancing in the grass.
This event features only-organic powder, direct from India, made from flowers, seeds and vegetables (like rose, spinach, marigold and turmeric.) Each paid entrance includes a packet of colors and a portion of the festival proceeds will benefit farmers in India. Other Holi festivals typically feature industrial dyes containing carcinogens; this event is committed to returning to plant-based powder which honors our connection to the earth.
Everyone is welcome at this all-ages event.
Expect to get messy as Holi is celebrated by throwing bright colored powder on each other. Wearing white or old clothes is recommended.
No outside colors are allowed. Each ticket holder will receive one packet of complimentary powder.
Anjali and The Kid present International classics & unknown pop gems from their vintage vinyl & CD collections. With a focus on retro Bollywood and the Afro Latino diaspora, you can also expect to hear Panjabi folk, Qawwali and South Asian filmi (like Lollywood, Tollywood & Kollywood.)
