The Incredible Kid

Resist Sonic Monoculture!

About Me

Beginning with incorporating Asian Drum and Bass, Reggaeton, and Meren-Rap songs into his late '90s house party sets, The Incredible Kid built his reputation igniting Portland, Oregon dance floors with the incendiary urban sounds of international dance music. In late 2000 The Kid introduced DJ Anjali to the dancing masses and the two spearheaded the bhangra and Bollywood scene in Portland through their Andaz night, Portland’s longest-running monthly party. The Incredible Kid, Anjali and E3 initiated the international urban beats scene in Portland when they co-founded the still-thriving club night Atlas in November of 2003. Alongside DJ Anjali the Kid headlined a sold-out night of “Basement Bhangra” in December of 2004 in NYC and headlined the opening night of the 2007 Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration in Vancouver, BC. The Incredible Kid has supported Digable Planets, Boban Markovic Orkestar, State of Bengal, DJ Rekha, DJ Spooky, Antibalas, Tigerstlye, J-Boogie, Karsh Kale, DJ Collage, Alter-Echo, Maneesh and Ferhan of Dhamaal Sound System, Ming and FS, Maga Bo, and Nickodemus from Turntables on the Hudson. He is also featured in the Adidas Originals/XLR8R book “Bedroom Rockers.”
