Boston… you kept asking where the good electronic music is, so here we are.
This is Lyndsay Simon — your thirty-something raver and DJ, so I kinda know what I’m talking about. Welcome to the first edition of Simon Says: RAVE, a weekly email for anyone who loves EDM, house, techno, and anything that makes your ribs shake. If you’re still saying “Boston has no house music scene,” you’re about to realize you just didn’t have the right plug.
Every week you’ll get:
Upcoming shows worth leaving the couch for
Discount codes and guest list links
My own event announcements
Underground parties that don’t hit the internet
Venues that feel safe even if you roll solo
And a few chaotic notes from me because… duh
Thanksgiving week is here, and I know life feels heavy for a lot of people right now. So be thankful for the simple things — good music, a healthy body, community, and the moments that remind you you’re alive. Get out, move your body, meet new people, dance with strangers, and raise the vibe. The quickest way to lift the collective energy is to get on a dance floor and let yourself feel joy again.
Drink water, stretch, and wear something you feel hot in.
Simon Says: Let’s rave. 🖤

If you’re over the whole alcohol-hangover cycle and want a way to hit the dance floor feeling high-vibe and clear-headed, check out I AM 🍄. I just became an ambassador for them and I’m obsessed with their gummies. They actually taste amazing (trust me I’ve tried MANY) and when microdosed, give a soft, elevated energy that works perfect for dancing or going out without the downsides. Use my code SimonSays for 10% off if you want to give them a shot.
DM me if you want help building a microdosing schedule — I’d love to walk you through it.
Friday is a big one. I’m playing with Amal Nemer for the THIRD TIME and I’ll be direct support at 11:15 PM. This is our third lineup together and she’s a force. Venezuelan and Lebanese, a rising name in the Miami scene, and honestly one of Boston’s favorites. You’ve probably heard her vocals somewhere already, so don’t sleep on this. And get there early because Jeremius and Arias are opening and they always sets the tone right. I got you on my Guest List- select “Lyndsay Simon” as your ambassador
And Saturday, we’re keeping the energy going. I’ll be dual headlining alone with Mayte gracing us with her presence from New York City at Smooth Standard in Cambridge for a darker, sexier, more underground vibe. Expect full production, real sound, and a room designed for the baddies. SUPPORT WOMEN DJS! This night also has purpose: every dollar goes toward supporting Alejandro a Boston local dj, who was taken by ICE. Funds will help cover his legal support so we can get him home. TICKETS
