New Year’s Eve with Anjali and The Kid 🎶❤️🎶 Wednesday, December 31st
New Year’s Eve with DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid
Ring in 2026 with us! We are also celebrating 25 years of Anjali & The Kid!!
w/ Dholi Rayman Bhuller (Surrey, B.C.)
Few DJs can be said to have changed the sound of their city but that is exactly what DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid have done since they first introduced Portland nightclubs to the many varied sounds of the Latin & Desi diaspora at a rowdy New Year’s Eve debut in 2000.
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.
In the ensuing twenty-five they have ignited dance floors across the West Coast to India and NYC. In 2002 they founded ANDAZ, Portland’s first Bhangra and Bollywood party. For ten years (2003-2013) alongside E3, they ran the PNW’s first Global Bass monthly, ATLAS. Their love of Panjabi folk and Bollywood bangers alongside Cumbia, Dembow, Reggaeton and Baile continues monthly at TROPITAAL! A Desi Latine Soundclash (since 2013.)
THIS EVENT IS 21+ AND GENERAL ADMISSION. NO MINORS.
