"I don’t know if it exists any more at all. A lot of those old tunes I put on at night and hear something in the tune that makes me feel sad, - a few of my favourite producers and DJs are dead now too - and I hear this hope in all those old tracks, trying to unite the UK, but they couldn't, because the UK was changing in a different direction, away from us. Maybe the feeling of the UK in clubs and stuff back then, it wasn't as artificial , self-aware or created by the internet. It was more rumour, underground folklore. No mobile phones back then. Anyone could go into the night and they had to seek it out. Because you could see it in people, you could see it in their eyes. Those ravers were at the edge at their lives, they weren’t running ahead or falling behind, they were just right there and the tunes meant everything." - Burial

you could try going on your own. tbh, when going to proper clubs, rather than "shitty popular clubs", being with other people is much less important. like once you're inside it can actually be quite a solitary experience. you just wander into the crowd, start getting into the tunes, and then dance for 6 hours.
the only real communication that goes on inside is like, "you know this tune?", "how you feeling?", "wanna get some water?", "wanna go for a cigarette?"
i suppose it's because you're all there for the music, rather than to get drunk with your friends and get laid, which is the objective of most other clubs. i've got a pretty good crew of raving mates that are all on the same wavelength, but like nights when someone not that into the music comes along they always seem to spend the whole time like blabbering on in my ear about crap, when really i just wanna be able to listen to the music and dance
it's nice to hang out before and after, and chat in the smoking area, but going on your own isn't really a lesser experience that much

I'm in Boston, too. Been going to bleep nights for like a year. It could be worse. I may go see DJ Sprinkles and Kevin Saunderson.
Mmmmaven has some good nights. Watch their facebook events page. They've had Pangaea + Pinch, Todd Edwards, Robert Hood, Pearson Sound... all great. They put on the Together festival in May which has a mix of bleep/non-bleep.
Good Life has had good stuff, too, notably DJ Deeon, Derrick May, Mumdance. Their regular dubstep/grime/bass night just ended for good - they had The Bug but he was a bit shit :(
Elements is my guilty pleasure. Last time I went was Om Unit I think.
You have to dig around, but there are usually at least a couple good nights a month, plus a handful of adequate ones.
