A world away from Sweden, you’ve got this evening’s installment of Bollygrooves, an offshoot of the city’s many ongoing and successful Bhangra/Bollywood nights. DJ Aanshul, a Delhi-raised dude who later landed in Seattle, has played his precise mix of the aforementioned genres, enhanced with Latin and Arabic flavors, at parties such as I Heart Shiva and Tasveer nights at Fremont’s ToSt Lounge. If you’ve ever been to one of these crowded, sweaty, near ecstatic parties, you know that this may be the most important piece of information on the subject: the first 100 women get free entry for e-mailing groovynites@gmail.com. Chop Suey, 1325 E. Madison St., 324-8000. $12 adv., $15 before 11 p.m. Starts at 10 p.m. RACHEL SHIMP
