If you’re not ready to come down from POP there are two after-hours warehouse events tonight. Homegrown Harvest showcases two DJs on local house label RAWMoments, Paolo Rocco and Jorel. Secret Location, 11 p.m.–7 a.m., $10–$20

If you’re not familiar with OCTOV events (from the Parisian, “on casse tout on vomit”) and you’re into harder European-style techno, you should be. At tonight’s event, Rotterdam’s MORD records are presenting two DJs, Bas Mooy and UVB as part of their five-year anniversary tour, along with OCTOV regular Omar Hamdi. 500 Alphonse-D-Roy, 11 p.m.–6 a.m., $30
