Face have long since fostered a reputation for showcasing the talents of the world's most exciting artists. The 29th of March sees them do just that, with a line up crammed with some of Europe's most innovative artists.

Heading thing's up at The Rainbow Complex on March 29th will be the mercurial talents of fiercely forward thinking producer Kieron Hebden, better known as Four Tet. responsible for some of the most lauded electronic music releases in the past decade, albums like Pause, Rounds and Everything Ecstatic saw Hebden combine elements of world music, garage, folk, house and just about everything else to create reliably staggering statements of unhindered creativity.
Recent times have seen Four Tet enter a more dancefloor focused phase, with a series of acerbic releases on his own Text imprint. His recent run of releases, plus previous joint efforts with the likes of Burial (above) and Thom Yorke has seen the artist flex his might even more, with dance floor sensibilities wrapped up in obscure samples, lo fi drum patterns and intoxicating instrumentation, creating some of the most unique records to hit clubs in a long time.
As for his DJing sets, expect unreleased cuts from the man himself, as well as classic UK garage tunes, bunched up against techno and house. It's a thrilling rider that everyone needs to experience. Just check out his Boiler Room set above to see what we mean.
He will be joined by one of Hessle's Audios controlling triumvirate - Pearson Sound. Having honed a sound that is indelibly his own, complete with bass mutations and intriguingly complex drum patterns, Pearson Sound has for a number of years now been one of the true innovators in bass music. Tracks like last year's 'Starburst' see him marry edgy drum programming with swathing melodic prowess, as he retains his voice as one of bass music most singular protagonists.
As if that wasn't enough, the mighty Berlin based techno deviant Shed. A favourite on labels like Modeselektor's 50 weapons, Berghain's ever reliable Ostgut Ton and Holland's techno giants Delsin, René Pawlowitz and his many monikers (check out his blinding Head High remix of Martyn's Vancouver above) have continually broken new ground in techno, with his pulverising fractured sound becoming one of the most instantly recognisable in Berlin's closely fought underground.
Have no doubt, this is a killer line up, and one that is guaranteed to sell out in no time.
