Lights, music, and a waterslide — sounds ridiculously simple doesn’t it? And with a portion of proceeds going to the Big Brother Big Sister of Central Arizona, there’s that whole giving back feel good aftershock as a side bonus. This week’s water park soiree, Insomniac’s and Steve Levine Entertainment's Soundwave, is primed to be a fantastic excuse to rave the night away and hear some serious House/Progressive DJ’s do what they do best. Hopefully primed to become a prized AZ semi-annual event, this falls latest installation will be another knotch to add to Insomniac’s belt. Considering that the last Soundwave in April got some pretty bad weather, I’m sure most concert-goers are hoping for a less interrupted dance infested evening. The fall line-up hitting town Friday night, includes heavy names such as Kaskade, Z-trip, and more local favorites like William Reed and 2TONEDISCO.

Complete with three bar areas, waterslides, and three stages, this 18+ event will be one to pencil in on the calendar. Who doesn’t want to dance until two in the morning? That should be a no brainer decision maker. Charity, music, and water all have the beginning stirrings of a terrific night out in Tempe. Here are some music picks to get you raring for this very legit electronic music festival happening in our own back yard:
