Michal Lichy aka Urbanfailure is one of the founding members of Urbsounds Collective – a platform for experimental electronic music in Slovakia that started in 2001.

Urbanfailure was performing at the London leg of the Next Festival at Cafe OTO on the 11th of November. The Next Festival in Bratislava will be kicking off on Wed 25th November with the premiere and launch of the composition from Martin Burlas – Hexeprozess.
