 r
 egarded as an accomplished producer\, emcee\, and pioneer of Global/Tropic
 a
 l Bass/Dancehall fusion\, and is hip-hop's official cultural ambassador to
  
 India (UZN). Over the last decade\, Brooklyn Shanti's unique and innovativ
 e
  artistic voice has enabled the transformation of South Asia's appreciatio
 n
  for hip-hop. His diverse and wide-ranging talents have led him to work wi
 t
 h some of the world's leading artists including Bollywood legends A.R. Rah
 m
 an and Sohail Sen\, electronic gurus Karsh Kale and the Midival Punditz\, 
 t
 he Dum Dum Project\, as well as Billy Martin (Medeski\, Martin and Wood)\,
  
 Afrika Bambaataa\, Thomas Blondet\, and the Foreign Beggars\, among many o
 t
 hers. This spirit of collaboration defines and informs Brooklyn Shanti's l
 a
 rger vision as an artist and a musician. Of note is a project that came ou
 t
  on the infamous Rawkus Records and his involvement with Brooklyn's vibran
 t
  Dutty Artz collective which has cultivated a Latin/South Asian collaborat
 i
 on with DJ/producer\, Geko Jones. He is also currently working on an album
  
 with Afrika Bambaataa and Karsh Kale for the South Asian market\, with Cam
 p
  Lo on a Bengal vs Bronx fusion project\, and he has enlisted Cumba Mela's
  
 Thornato to work on a Bengali dancehall album. Shanti has also written and
  
 released a song based on author Vikram Chandra's stories\, which Chandra h
 a
 s publicly stated that he wants played at his funeral. Shanti is also in t
 h
 e process of putting together a band with Karsh Kale to tour his current a
 l
 bum\, Bedstuyle.\n\nDJ PANAFLEX\nhttps://www.facebook.com/panaflexin/\n\nH
 a
 iling from the city of roses\, Charlie Thompson (DJ Panaflex) discovered L
 a
 tin club music at age 13 during a family visit to Monterrey\, Mexico\, an 
 e
 xperience which inspired him to begin compiling mixes\, and to begin\, fiv
 e
  years later to air them on his long-running Electric Lunch program on KBV
 R
  Corvallis. In 2008\, while living in Guatemala\, Charlie began a love aff
 a
 ir with sounds he heard there imported from Colombia\, Panama\, and The Do
 m
 inican Republic\, Jorge Celedon\, Hector Acosta\, La Factoria\, Flex... it
  
 was a journey of discovery that would culminate years later on the island 
 o
 f Hispañola where he saw his favorite bachateros perform live and snatc
 hed
  up every new bootleg dembow compilation being sold on the street.\n\nSinc
 e
  returning to Portland in 2013\, he has focused his efforts on creating mi
 x
 ed sets in a wide variety of genres including cumbia\, dancehall\, reggaet
 o
 n\, afrohouse\, kizomba\, zouk\, baile funk\, rasterinha\, and dembow\, wh
 i
 ch have seen releases on the outstanding Brother Sister and JEROME mix ser
 i
 es\, garnered support from Michael Bruce (Gran Ritmos\, Sonic Lozenge) and
  
 Freaky Outty (The Way Up\, Snap!)\, and won him multiple radio appearances
  
 in recent months\, including Night Drive on XRAY FM and DJ Anjali & The In
 c
 redible Kid's own Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Kush program on KBOO FM.\n\nFor over
  
 a year\, his weekly afro-diasporic sets at Trio Club have been delighting 
 d
 ancers of kizomba\, tarraxinha\, and semba. More recently he's joined forc
 e
 s with Nathalia Carvajal as the official DJ of her successful biweekly dan
 c
 e night\, KiZouk Connection.\n\nDJ ANJALI AND THE INCREDIBLE KID\nwww.anja

 u
 age. They host the longest-running Bhangra and Bollywood party on the West
  
 Coast\, co-founded the Pacific Northwest's first Global Bass dance party a
 n
 d host two weekly radio shows on XRAY.FM and KBOO.FM. Few DJs can be said 
 t
 o have changed the sound of their city but that is exactly what DJ Anjali 
 a
 nd The Incredible Kid have accomplished since they first introduced Portla
 n
 d\, 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 incinerati
 n
 g dance floors with the heavy dance floor artillery of South Asia\, but th
 e
  duo scour the globe for any hard-hitting music that combines local music 
 t
 raditions with window-rattling production. Anjali and The Kid regularly pe
 r
 form at festivals including five sets at the Sasquatch! Music Festival (20
 1

 s
 e party circuit\, DJ Anjali & The Incredible Kid introduced the Portland\,
  
 Oregon nightclub scene to the sounds of Bhangra\, Bollywood and Global Bas
 s
  on New Year's Eve 2000. A series of residencies followed\, beginning with
  
 a night at the legendary Blackbird\, and the duo began hosting their ANDAZ
  
 dance parties in July of 2002. The party's focus on hardcore Panjabi Bhang
 r
 a and the latest electronic confections from the Bollywood film industry c
 o
 ntinue to pack the dance floor after 12 years. While ANDAZ was still in th
 e
  bloom of youth\, Anjali and The Kid founded the revolutionary dance night
