The organization was founded by Lyana Mytsko, who still manages it today, and who is primarily responsible for hundreds of underground events in Lviv. At the same time, Lyana Mytsko is known for her involvement in major events such as FESTrepublic Club, Craft Beer & Vinyl Music Festival or Lviv Media Forum.
