since you’re in BK it’s probably right around the corner from you! I recommend: 2lanes (Seen him twice), Objekt, Theo Parrish, Byron Yeates, Ron Like Hell (amazing dj), Akua, Or:la, livwutang, Physical Therapy
Boston is permanently atrocious re: nightlife and/or coolness in almost every way, *but* DJ Kon — an incredible globe-trotting talent in the disco/house/edits zone, also of the legendary beat-digging duo Kon & Amir — lives there, *and* he plays out occasionally (in fact he's playing @ Middlesex tonight in Central Square). So my recommendation would be to meet the friends/fans of Kon and maybe they will clue you into some more underground parties, *if* they exist (they probably don't because Boston sucks!!... but you might as well try).
The Keep On crew (@keeponboston on IG) actually sometimes brings in good DJs within the house/disco/edits/techno zone, e.g. Boston's own Kon (the only DJ in town who wouldn't be kicked to the curb by an international jury of their peers) or Eli Escobar/DJ Python/Physical Therapy up from NYC (some past events listed here if you're curious). Events are usually Thursday nights @ Middlesex in Cambridge (sometimes with no cover) but double-check their calendar to be sure.
Techno in downtown Manhattan is a rare thing. They have a decently relaxed door policy, pretty strong lineup most of the time, a wonderful lack of burning man vibes, and a decent non alcoholic selection.
