The longest-running Bollywood Halloween party in the world is a Portland original, a wild dance party celebrating twenty-three years of raucous costumed merriment hosted by DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid. ❥❥Featuring performances by Hibiscus Lust (Burlesque) & Chiffon Chérie (Desi Drag).❥❥
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.
