About ZEHN

Event production. Without the bullshit.

Independent. Experienced. Hands-on.

Spilt Milk was founded in 2015 as the original Techno festival in Cape Town. It was born from a small idea which then grew up and evolved through a rebellious adolescence into a timeless and powerful expression of dance music culture in South Africa. This is mirrored by the evolution of the music curated by our festival over the years.
