The last word that should be used to describe Boston is "cheap," but housing prices compared to New York City's are a steal.

Die Young has been DJing the Boston circuit for some time now, but his strongest talent is in his remixes, which mix the elements of electro, house and hip hop into the roots of rock and synth tracks. What’s next? “I kind of want to do a really deep minimal mix though. I'm tired of all of the bloghouse shit. Everyone is playing the same stuff these days.” Well said. Also spinning is Boston-based Damien Cuvelier (also French!) of Robot Love Songs.
