Got Bass brings a dope show to the Beatport Lounge on Saturday night with The Digital Connection, Vinnie Maniscalco, Dirty Little Thieves, and Bathdub. Also, check out some of Vinnie Maniscalco's recent remixes that have been getting some local and national spins.

The Infinite Monkey Theorem winery hosts specialty wines and live music for First Friday; Ejay and Jon Nedza are appearing as Hotbox and Gazeebo, and you can expect plenty of classic funk, soul, house and disco. (5 p.m., 21+ but family-friendly for parents with kids)
At Beta, Droog (featuring Andrei Osyka and Brett Griffin) will be pumping its tunes through that impeccable sound system with Mike McCray and the Real Wolfe opening things up (9 p.m., 18+, $10)
Bringing on the live element and keeping the groove mellow and deep is Ableminds at Cervantes. You know what's even better than that? This is a free show for 21+ before 10pm, and with The Biz, Lost Optical, Parvata, and the Peacock Revolution opening up the Ballroom, why would you even risk getting there later? Ableminds blend the live-band aspect with the electro-bass perfectly, creating not only a party atmosphere, but a live show that is never the same.
