“One of Portland’s favorite dance nights is making its return. Hosted by stalwart DJs Anjali and the Incredible Kid, Tropitaal mixes club music from India and South America—everything from urban desi to trap and reggaeton.” – Willamette Week 8/11/2021

“For seven years now, DJ Anjali & The Kid have been commandeering the Tropitaal Desi-Latino Soundclash to the delight of knowing Portland audiences.” -Portland Mercury 5/16/2020

“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

 

“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 and The Incredible Kid have spent more than 20 years igniting dance floors with cutting edge music not limited by borders or language. They host the longest-running Bhangra and Bollywood party in the world (Andaz est. 2002), co-founded the Pacific Northwest’s first Global Bass dance party (Atlas 2003-2013) hosted Chor Bazaar on XRAY.FM for seven years, and have continued to host Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Kush on KBOO.FM since 2006. In 2013 Anjali and The Kid initiated TROPITAAL! A Desi Latino Soundclash, which they host monthly at The Goodfoot. 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 accomplished since they first introduced Portland, Oregon nightclub audiences to the many varied sounds of Global Bass at a raucous 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.

“After 18 years as a duo, DJ Anjali & the Incredible Kid are a Portland institution. Their long-standing Andaz party has become legendary for its lovingly crafted mix of Bollywood, urban desi and Indian dance pop of all kinds Their newer Tropitaal night, which adds everything from reggaeton to trap into the duo’s regular rotation is regularly a rager.” -Willamette Week 1/9/19

*** Since both days sold out so quickly a limited additional number of tickets to Saturday and Sunday have been released! ***

Join us as we celebrate Holi, a spring harvest festival of color!

In Oregon, spring on the island is a long season: sowing of seeds, flowers blooming and vegetables waking up.

We at Topaz Farm want to honor how this season is a rebirth on the farm, while celebrating the beautiful South Asian festival of Holi. Holi is an ancient festival, celebrated across religions that marks the arrival of spring and the end of winter.

We’ve teamed up with DJ Anjali & The Incredible Kid to host a Bollywood and Bhangra dance party in the grass.

Expect to get messy as Holi is celebrated by throwing bright colored powder on each other. Wearing white or old clothes is recommended.

This event is Portland’s first to feature only organic powder, direct from India, made from flowers, seeds and vegetables. Each paid entrance includes a packet of colors (while supplies last). No outside colors are allowed.

Everyone welcome at this all-ages event.

Featuring food by multiple, local Indian restaurants (TBA).

A percentage of proceeds to benefit farmers in India.

Pricing

  • Adults: $20
  • Seniors 55+ $15
  • Kids 6-16: $10
  • Kids 5 and under: Free
  • *** Since both days sold out so quickly a limited additional number of tickets to Saturday and Sunday have been released! ***
