Connect label owners join us for the second time, fresh off taking their imprint around the globe with showcases in Barcelona, Athens, Bucharest and the ancient Chinese city of Xian.

Part of the long-running Beatnik Collective and one half of production duo KRSTWO, makes his CTR debut. A stalwart of the Manchester scene, Rossa has honed his craft through years of parties, featuring at WHP for circoloco alongside Apollonia & Dixon to add to many Sankeys appearances.

With 8 Gottwood’s under his belt, most recently kicking off things at Ricky’s for the Ba Dum Tish showcase, Rossa played a huge part in the Tpot parties which became synonymous within Manchester for their collaborations with Zutekh in South Courtyard.

You can catch all of these, for free, in the bar area from 7pm alongside before we head downstairs for the main event.

**** Pre Party Line Up ****

Take a look at the talented selectors kicking things off on the 6th when we bring to the Northern Quarter.

Led by a selection of esteemed local artists, the pre-party is completely FREE to anyone who wants to attend, with no basement ticket needed.

The pre-parties are hugely important for the whole night, setting the tone and easing you in so it’s business time only when we go downstairs.

They’re also a great way to support the venue, so get down early, bring a mate and your dad and come support the Dj’s and 🫡

As always, we’ll be throwing a pre-party in the bar from 7pm, line up inbound this Friday.

9 Years of the Rug ✂️❤️

Yesterday marked 9 years since our first ever party at 1 Primrose Street.

As a small capacity event, we couldn’t be more proud and happy to still be doing what we love and sharing it with all you.

This years been such a special one with our Ibiza debut, closing out the main room in Eden after Waff, returning to Into the Woods Festival and bringing all our favourite artists to the Northern Quarter.

We just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who’s joined us at any point along on the dance floor, at a pre party or at an afters.

We’ve made our home ever since we began, and wouldn’t be where we are now without all the team behind us.

We’ve got one last party to close out the year coming up, with gracing the basement for the first time ever.

But for now, enjoy a selection of sweaty, messy and mega snaps from this years events including a mid mixer game of limbo 😂😂

Get your ticket boxed for the 6th December and come see out the year with us in true CTR style.

Cut the rug are back with our final event of the year as we bring to the for the first time 🫡

Part of the original team behind Paris’ famous Breakfast Club parties, Melody has become one of the most refined selectors on the continent, with her smooth blend of 90’s house/techno infused with electro & breakbeat seeing her control the dance at some of Europe’s biggest parties such as VBX, Slapfunk & Half Baked.

With a growing connection to Manchester following a double header appearance at Dr Banana’s Halloween special, Melody comes off the back of a summer which saw her grace the decks of the famous Assembly within Silver Hayes at Glastonbury, two memorable Dimensions sets, a Gottwood debut on the Beeyou stage and a famous b2b at Limousine and the Gang in Barcelona alongside much more.

We’re blessed to welcome her to Stage & Radio for an intimate 150 capacity affair.

Our team of residents will provide support on the night with a free pre-party in the bar from 7pm.
