Booty Advisory: Graduate your ass off

^{Lazy Rich}

FRIDAY 05.14 | PACHANGA @ OM Lounge

Pachanga is really just another way of saying "big crazy party" (among other less savory things, according to Urban Dictionary). For now, let's just say it's the best Latin party in Cambridge. Expect salsa, reggae, merengue, and whatever gets the room moving. Caveat: look sharp or get lost.

92 Winthrop St, Cambridge | 10 pm | $10; $15 after 11 pm | 21+ | 617.576.2800 or pachanga.us

FRIDAY 05.14 | LAZY RICH @ Rise

With something around 100 releases in just three years, Lazy Rich is anything but. Tonight, Toronto's great electro hope touches down for an all-night party with Repeat Offenders, Death Star, and Nooka Jones. And remember: Rise is members only - so be a member or be really nice to one.

306 Stuart St, Boston | 1 am | 18+ | 617.423.7473 or riseclub.us

SUNDAY 05.16 | FOXY @ ZuZu

The most locker-room-esque night for local gay dudes is so damn popular, it's going twice monthly! Join DJs Joseph Colbourne, James Cerne, and new recruit BRDR for nothing but deep disco, new wave, dark house, stiff drinks, and white towels.

474 Mass Ave, Cambridge | 10 pm | 21+ | $2 | 617.864.EAST or zuzubar.com

WEDNESDAY 05.19 | ALCHEMY @ Middle East upstairs

What happens when a "mad triumvirate" of local DJs specializing in the darker ends of dance music come together? Well, a lot of clove smoking. But also: Alchemy, a new night of goth and industrial treats featuring WMBR's Mistress Laura and WZBC's DJ Linda and Brian L.

472 Mass Ave, Cambridge | 9 pm | 18+ | $10 | 617.864.EAST or mideastclub.com

THURSDAY 05.20 | DANSER @ Milky Way

JP finally has its very own sweaty '80s dance party that's not in your friend's kitchen: Danser is an explosion of synthpop, punk, new wave, freestyle, and other music that came out when you were two. DJs Mike Device, David Dancer, and Tine E. Danser take the heat to Stony Brook every third Thursday.

284 Amory St, Jamaica Plain | 9 pm | 21+ | Free | 617.524.6060 or milkywayjp.com
