​Snowboard on the Rocks tonight at Red Rocks Amphitheatre will not only feature three world-premiere snowboard films, but also music by Michael Menert, Doomtree and RJD2. It's the perfect way to get ready for winter ... er, fall. (6 p.m., $25, all ages) And if snow sports aren't your thing, well, we've got lots more places to get your dance on this weekend. Take a peek:

Bass Invasion 3 is so big that the walls of Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom and the Other Side won't be able to contain this fest; the amazing lineup includes Downlink, Vaski, BOK BOK and Kingdom tonight and Caspa, PINCH and DBridge tomorrow night -- and many, many, many more. Let the bass begin! (5 p.m. Friday, 3 p.m. Saturday, $30-$120, all ages)

Are you ready for the Great American Beer Festival? How about the inaugural Great American Techno Festival? P.U.N.C.H.I.S. is presenting the GATF 2011 Pre-Party tonight at Beta; John Templeton and Scott Everett vs. Trip Coffin will hit the decks; on the main floor, bass reigns supreme with Kill the Noise, Sureshot and Fury. (9 p.m., 18+, $10-$15)

EOTO will do its live dubstep thing at Mishawaka Amphitheatre tonight; Michael Travis and Jason Hann of the String Cheese Incident team up with MIDI controllers, drums and vocals to create a set you have to hear to believe. (7 p.m., $25-$40, all ages)

Summit Music Hall hosts the 1320 Records Showcase -- electronic-music heavy, of course -- with the Polish Ambassador, Mochipet and Up in the Air. (7 p.m., $16, all ages)

PDR BLK, K-Nee and Big Styles are back for another monthly So What Friday night at Beauty Bar; get your soul-and-funk dance on! (10 p.m., 21+, free)

Global Friday at the Church brings on Hycloud, Skye, Floorbangers, Twenty42 and Phunke Elements on the main floor, plus Klutch Beat Bootique in the mashup basement and Peter Elzi in the Retro Room. (8 p.m., 18+, ladies 21+ get in free all night)
