Face 2012
It was an annus mirabilis for Face in 2011. They had a whole year full of sell-out parties headlined by a fine selection of both underground heroes and unquestionable legends, picking up a Mixmag Award for Best UK Club night at the end of it all. There were label parties, UK talent showcases, imports of sand during the summer, partnerships with Cream, Snowbombing and so much more.
Now we’re into 2012 and plans have already been firmed up for the first third of the month. January, February and March will see the likes of killer promotions Filth, Zutekh, FREQ and Shadow City all co-host events, with labels like VIVA, DJs like Larse, Jordan Peak, Maja Jane Coles, DJ W!ld, System of Survival and many many more all taking up their place behind the decks at the three roomed Rainbow this party calls home.
If you’ve been before you’ll be there again; if you haven’t yet you are truly missing out…
January 14 - Scott Bleepz & Elliot Croft, No Artificial Colours, Smak Pony, plus Cellar Door Meets Sunday Club

It’s an all nighter at Face this week, with 2020 Vision and Hypercolour heroine Maja Jane Coles headlining.
With a debut album about to drop MJC couldn’t be hotter right now. Here deep vocal house is catchy as hell and has been caned by DJs all over the world. The woman herself is a fine spinner, too, so is a welcome guest.
She will be joined by Back to Basics resident legends Tristan and Frenchy, whilst local lad and One Records boss Adam Shelton is also on the line-up.
Feb 11 – The Room Swap - FACE Meets Zutekh with Residents, plus Dolce Vita in The Courtyard

His rough and ready tech house sound has taken hi all over Europe recently.
Germany’s Larse is the main headliner though, with his releases on Noir and We Love This he has carved out a niche for himself – one you want to get lost in on the dancefloor, for sure…
March 3 - DJ W!ld, System of Survival, Anthony Collins, Adam Shelton & Nisekay (With Cream Classics in The Warehouse & Lots More)
It’s another partnership with Cream that defines this weeks party at The Rainbow, with DJ Wild, System of Survival, Anthony Collins, Adam Shelton and Nisekay all lining up.

He will be joined by another Frenchman in the form of Anthony Collins whose classy house on Culprit and Curle has made him a talent to be reckoned with, whilst System of Survival add another Circo Loco force to the line-up.
Their own productions have found homes with Freak'n'Chic, Tenax and Blau Motif to name a few, as well as being picked up for compilations such as Moon Harbour's Circo Loco Anniversary CD or both Loco Dice and Marco Carola's TimeWarp Series.
Finally, One Records head honcho and Below founder Adam Shelton adds his rugged tech vibes to proceedings and Nisekay completes the line-up.
