?uestlove: From drums to DJ If you miss the Roots' performance at the River Rock Music Festival Saturday afternoon, you still have a chance to see the hip-hop band's frontman that night -- and in a whole different light. Ahmir (?uestlove) Thompson will ditch the drumsticks for vinyl when he does a three-hour DJ set at Bar-Fly's Loft (on local DJ theDEVIOUSone's massive Hush sound system). This is a great chance to groove to hand-chosen music by one of the best ears in hip-hop. (10 p.m. Sat., 711 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. $10-$15. 18 and older. 612-333-6100. barflyminneapolis.com.)

More fashion week For the ticket price -- $25 -- this should be one of the bigger local fashion shows of the year. Envision: Fall 2008 features a hairstyling competition and a two-part runway show in Solera's third-level ballroom. Expect clothes by Twin Cities boutiques and designers Amanda Christine, Arwyn Birch and Sarah Holm. DJ Timmay and A-Ray provide the beats. (9 p.m. today, 900 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. $25. 18 and older. 612-435-4982. myspace.com/envisionmpls.)

Boss of Bhangra If your only taste of India's popular bhangra dance music is M.I.A.'s remixed version, here is a chance to hear it done by one of the masters. England's Bally Sagoo is called the "Godfather of Bhangra" for helping to push the music into India's mainstream. The sound is a mix of traditional Bollywood music with drum-heavy hip-hop beats. After packing Trocaderos in 2006, the DJ will give fans a more intimate experience at the Fine Line. (9 p.m. today, 318 1st Av. N., Mpls. $20-$30. 18 and older. 612-338-8100. nashaonline.com.)
