ShowTek to Hit Prime Boston on March 17

By Mike M:

Joining some of the biggest names in the electronic dance scene who have played at Prime Nightclub (Nervo, Kill the Noise, and Eric Prydz to name a few) in the last few months, the Dutch sibling duo ShowTek will be hitting the decks at Prime on Sunday, March 17th, 2013. 

Brothers Weuter and Sjoerd Janssen, the masterminds behind ShowTek, are by no means new to the scene, but their recent surge in chart topping success with their collaboration with Tiesto "Hell Yeah" and tracks like their song with Justin Prime- "Cannonball"- has them looking fresh and ready to go. The duo has long been a mainstay in clubs and venues across Europe, but their wildly popular new podcast has them gaining momentum in the United States as well.

Eric Prydz at Prime Boston: A Review

By Mike H: 

Going into this show, I wasn't terribly sure what to expect, besides of course a killer performance from progressive house legend Eric Prydz.

All in all, I couldn't wait to see what Prydz had to offer.

Tommy Trash Boston Show Electrifies Prime

Along with the physical changes to the venue has also come a rebranding effort.  Umbria Prime has been renamed "Prime" and the venue now boasts a Sunday night lineup filled with top EDM talent.

On September 23rd the venue played host to electro house star Tommy Trash.  Tommy Trash Boston Show kicked off at midnight and the artist didn't look back.  Trash's signature curly hair bounced raucously through the air as the artist head banged and partied to his hard hitting tracks all night long.  Trash was instrumental in opening up slowly and building energy.

Trash opened the set up with...
