Re:Set at the Phoenix Landing is a weekly techno event that has been running non-stop for 15 years under different names.

It is located in Central Square Cambridge, and occurs every Wednesday night 10PM-2AM.

Edit: Thursday night's 'Keep On' at the Middlesex Lounge is also located across the street in Central Square.

It feels like it’s been going on for a lot longer than that… I remember going there 23 years ago for some great break beat nights. They had a DJ from Ireland and I can’t for the life of me remember his name but he had some incredible break beat stuff… he did a set one night that was all robot fighting themed and it was really fun. That was probably around 2000/2001?

You're correct it's probably longer than that. Soul Clap used to run the event Mid-Week Techno from Phoenix Landing on Wednesdays prior to Re:Set starting, and it probably goes back even further prior to them starting this event.

Thursday night's ELEMENTS Drum & Bass is one of the longest running weekly DNB events in the world. It is run by a DJ named Lenore.

I think that he's referring to a night there called Tension - was focused more on breaks and I believe it was on Wednesdays prior to Mid Week Techno and Re:set.

If I remember it was techno/trance on Wednesdays and drum and bass on thursdays? Is it still specific genres of electronic music?

Yes, Wednesday nights continue to focus on house/techno with Re:Set. Thursday nights are ELEMENTS Drum 'n Bass. Trance music is probably less common but there's an occasional psytrance song here and there on Thursdays.
