David Lezhava has been a long-time activist for electronic music and nightlife in Tbilisi. In the 1990s, as the head of music programming/producer on Channel 2, laid the ground for the appreciation of modern Georgian music and youth subculture. He served as a director of Electronauts for seven years, a foundation that had a massive impact on the development of the Georgian electronic music scene. With the advent of Covid-19, he co-founded CCIUG (The Cultural and Creative Industries Union of Georgia), a non-profit umbrella organization, and through its Act4culture platform raised funds to aid Georgian electronic music entities, collectives, artists and sector employees.
