Even as EDM mania grows, the national nightclub scene has downsized to the more intimate “ultra-lounge” experience. Royale, though, still does everything big. Red Bull-hyped throngs fill the king-sized venue to hear superstar global DJs amid flashing lights and house dancers decked out in DayGlo. Its partnership with the Bowery Presents: Boston books an exciting lineup of live acts, too.
