DJs will be spinning routine top 40 playlists in most venues across the northeast this New Year's Eve, but what are your options if you want to diverge from the norm and start 2011 on a memorable note? Though you may need to travel, several electronic acts will perform across the northeast and midatlantic next week.

Psy-trance band, Infected Mushroom, will join forces with psybient project, Shpongle, for a psychedelic New Year's Eve celebration at Hammerstein Ballroom.
