Tropica: House Music Basement Rave in Eccles

Tropica is a house music basement rave on your doorstep: one night, one dance floor, at 96 Degrees in Eccles. Relaxed café-bar upstairs, basement rave downstairs, and the whole place dressed in vines and lights for the night.

LINE-UP

First Principle

Elixir

+ special guests

As seen at Sankeys · Ministry of Sound · The Egg London · Gorilla MCR

We've built this one around the local scene: rather than ship in the same touring names every promoter books, we're backing some of the best up-and-coming DJs and producers from around Manchester and sourcing them onto one bill, one venue, one night. Deep, groovy house all night, no genre-hopping.

WIN A SET AT TROPICA

2 DJ sets up for grabs: one upstairs, one downstairs. Each winner plays a full set and gets 5 guestlist spots for their crew.

1. Get your Tropica ticket
2. DM @rootformevents a 20-min mix link (SoundCloud or Mixcloud) with your order number

First Principle picks the 2 best mixes. It is judged on the mix, not luck. Entries close Sun 22 Nov, winners told Tue 24 Nov. One entry per ticket holder, normal ticket price, no extra cost. 18+. No cash alternative. Set times agreed with the winners. Rootform Events' decision is final.

THE NIGHT

9pm - 2am, Sat 28 Nov. 96 Degrees, 1 Church Street, Eccles M30 0DL — a 5 min walk from Eccles tram stop, with Manchester city centre 15 mins away on the Metrolink. Two rooms, two vibes: a relaxed upstairs to catch up with mates, and a basement built for the night.

TICKETS

£4 early-bird, £3.50 each for groups of 3+. Over 160 already gone — prices go up as we get closer to the date, so grab yours now while they're cheap.
