DJ ANJALI & THE INCREDIBLE KID BIOGRAPHY
After making a name for themselves in their hometowns lively
house party circuit, DJ Anjali & The Incredible Kid introduced the
Portland, Oregon nightclub scene to the sounds of Bhangra and
Bollywood on New Years Eve 2000. After a six month residency at the
legendary Blackbird, followed by a stint at the Kalga Cafe the duo
began hosting sold out ANDAZ dance parties at Lola's Room, before
making their home at Fez Ballroom in the Fall of 2002. For over
three 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
Hiphop and R&B also 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
DrumnBass, Middle Eastern electronica, French HipHop, Meren-Rap and
Reggaeton. Since introducing Portland club audiences to the amazing
sounds of the South Asian diaspora our 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 2004 when they were flown out to headline a sold-out
party at NYCs oldest and best Bhangra party Basement Bhangra.
They have also supported artists as diverse as Digable Planets, State
of Bengal, DJ Spooky, DJ Rekha, Karsh Kale, Antibalas, J-Boogie and
Ming & FS.
