Vault x 8Bahn to host several events in Cape Town next month

Vault x 8Bahn Cape Town takeover includes events, workshops and more.

Cape Town will be host to a unique cross-cultural techno program, connecting creative electronic music talents from the Netherlands with their counterparts in South Africa. A collaboration between Capetonian events brand, Vault, and Dutch company, 8Bahn, this will be the first platform of its kind for the Mother City.

Instead of placing the spotlight on the usual suspects – strongholds such as Amsterdam, Berlin, or London – this program places a magnifying glass on smaller scenes, triangulating on upcoming cities and regions across the globe – starting with the Arnhem and Nijmegen metropolitan area in the Netherlands, and Cape Town. Following on from a hugely successful exchange in Holland in May 2019, where South African artists performed at festivals and clubs, Dutch DJs and promoters are now heading down south.

Techno takeover of Cape Town

Through a continuous exchange of music, stories, contacts, and insider knowledge, whether it be over the dinner table, during voracious vinyl-digging or high-octane performances, key players representing vital functions from each underdog scene can connect and establish a direct connection between them. By going door-to-door and exploring the record stores, music labels, club venues, and meeting the people that make the magic happen, only then is the underdog story fully accounted for.

Across the two weeks, artists from the Netherlands and Cape Town will perform at several events, take part in workshops, explore the city’s cultural diversity and outdoor spaces, and experience South Africa’s upcoming techno scene.
