This New Year’s Eve, one of Portland’s most revered record-spinning duos, DJ Anjali and the Incredible Kid, will be celebrating their super sweet 16. With a star-studded lineup that’ll leave the MTV brats of yesteryear jealous, the pair promises to deliver their signature fusion of fresh desi beats with coastal Caribbean tropical to keep you dancing into the wee hours of 2017. Credited with introducing the City of Roses to Bollywood and bhangra (a genre that blends traditional Punjabi folk with western pop), the twosome will host the two-floor party with a slew of this city’s best musical acts, including the 10-piece cumbia ensemble Orquestra Pacifico Tropical, DJ Michael Bruce, and Coast2c (the masterminds behind Pan American dance party Gran Ritmos), She Shreds founder Fabi Reyna on duty as DJ Suavecito, and queen of underground indigenous club, DJ Daniela Karina (who also contributes to the Mercury’s music section). Say goodbye to crappiest year of the century by melting in good vibes and your own sweat. EMILLY PRADO
