Face has long since been one of the major players in Birmingham's thriving underground dance scene. Since setting up shop in 2009, Face has established itself as the mighty Rainbow Complex’s leading night, inviting the finest DJs in the world to headline the unique venue.

What once started in the courtyard of the venue has grown to now take over the cellar and Warehouse, as word spread about the nights Face was putting on, drawing in huge crowds from far and wide. However, for its weekly residency, Face prefers to keep its parties intimate, limiting the capacity to give it that special warehouse rave feel, and providing the opportunity to see some of the most in demand DJs in an up close and personal setting.

We’ve taken a look ahead at what Face have in store for us this October and November, as they continue to hook in some cracking club experiences. Tough Luck Records arrive for an uncompromising label showcase on the 12th October to kick things off, Jack Wickham, Rebel and Chris Cue among the talent topping the bill.

A week later and Face’s hotly anticipated Fourth Birthday swings by. Marking the special occasion, Face have hired in house music royalty in the shape of Apollonia. the French triumvirate have been headlining festivals all over the world in the past year, and becoming a much loved regular feature in the hedonistic paradise of Ibiza. Dan Ghenacia, Dyed Soundorom and Shonky will be joined by Detroit Swindle, Krystal Clear and Citizen for a momentous birthday celebration.

The fifth year continues the ascent into house music greatness, as November rolls on with the same groove drenched intensity with two label showcases, Illusion Recordings holding court on the 9th before one week later Aus Records bring Will Saul and Deetron to the club. November also squeezes in a third night of improbable partying with George Fitzgerald among the talent on the 23rd.
