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.

“There’s truly never a bad time to see the legendary duo effortlessly smashing the sounds and grooves of Latin America and India together, though. 2026 marks their 25th anniversary, so you know the warm glow of their silver jubilee will only serve to make this Goodfoot dance party an even better, more infectious ass-shake-athon than it would be on any other Saturday night.” Portland Mercury 7/10/26 

“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

Portland, Oregon

9pm-2am

23 dollars in advance *Note that the Goodfoot will be hosting dance parties upstairs and downstairs and your ticket gives you access to both floors.*

The longest-running Bollywood Halloween party in the world is a Portland original, a wild dance party celebrating twenty-four years of raucous costumed merriment hosted by DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid. Only the wickedest beats from the subcontinent: cower at the thundering dhols, shiver at the piercing wails of Bollywood divas. Expect to hear Desi Bass, Darkwave & Goth classics as well. Costumes encouraged but not required.

DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid have spent more than two decades igniting dance floors with cutting edge music not limited by national borders or language. 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.

“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

“Portland electronic music luminary DJ Anjali” Willamette Week 8/27/24

“Known for fusing heart-quaking electronic with bhangra—a genre with roots in the traditional folk music of the northern Indian state of Punjab—and the soundtracks of Bollywood films, DJ Anjali and the Incredible Kid’s dance floor sites are sweaty, glorious chaos.” Portland Mercury 4/18/20

“Their long-standing Andaz party has become legendary” Willamette Week 6/5/19

“Whether it’s the Desi-Latino Soundclash: Tropitaal, the Bhangra Bollywood dance party: ANDAZ, or her annual NYE rager, Anjali is the premier Portland dance DJ.” Eleven PDX 4/8/19

“DJ Anjali & The Kid have been a staple of Portland, Oregon’s club scene for almost two decades, creating spaces for DJs and dancers to enjoy an international mélange of music ranging from bhangra to reggaeton.” Remezcla 12/26/18

“After 18 years as a duo, DJ Anjali & the Incredible Kid are a Portland institution. It’s difficult to think of a local dance night with a more lovingly crafted mix of Bollywood, urban desi and Indian dance pop.” Willamette Week 9/19/18
