Anjali and The Incredible Kid first introduced Portland dance floors to the sounds of Bollywood and Bhangra in 2000, but it was not until July of 2002 that they founded a party dedicated exclusively to featuring the sounds of the desi diaspora. ANDAZ was an instant success and many thought the success was a fad. The party started as the Truth Hurts song "Addictive," featuring a prominent sample of the Bollywood song "Thoda Resham Lagta Hai," was making its way up the charts to a peak of #9. This was one year before a Jay-Z remix of Panjabi MC's Bhangra track "Mundian To Bach Ke" reached the US Top 40. This was five years before MIA covered the Bollywood song "Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja," and made use of South Indian soundtrack percussion players to create the dense rhythms of several of the tracks on her Kala album. This was seven years before Slumdog Millionaire won 8 Academy Awards and grossed $140 million dollars at the North American box office, with a soundtrack by the Bollywood composer A.R Rahman that one two Oscars, reached #4 on the U.S. Billboard 200, and topped the Billboard Top Electronic Albums twice, once knocking Lady Gaga out of the top spot after a twelve-week run. $13
