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 popular 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 scours 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, which found a permanent home at the Fez Ballroom in the Fall of 2002. For seven 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 and the latest electronic confections from the Bollywood film industry.
In order to share more of their musical passions 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, Kuduro, Reggaeton and international Hip-hop. Since introducing Portland club audiences to the amazing sounds of the South Asian diaspora and more 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 the Fall of 2005 Anjali and The Kid began their long association with KBOO community radio, where they currently host a weekly radio show every Tuesday evening. In January of 2007 Anjali and the Kid headlined the opening night party of the Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration in Vancouver, British Columbia, and in August of 2009 they performed at the opening night party of the Vancouver Queer Film Festival. Together and separately they have supported artists as diverse as Digable Planets, Balkan Beat Box, Pink Martini, The Decemberists, DJ Spooky, Tigerstyle, Boban i Marco Markovic Orkestar, State of Bengal, Karsh Kale, DJ Rekha, Antibalas, Dengue Fever, Quasi, Extra Golden, Maga Bo, Ming & FS, Joro-Boro, J-Boogie, and Nickodemus from Turntables on the Hudson.
