Michael Burian

The Czech DJ and producer Michael Burian is one of the best-known artists in the modern music scene in the Czech Republic and among the hottest DJs in Central Europe. He fills venues such as the O2 Arena in Prague, plays before crowds of hundreds of thousands at international festivals and regularly tours Europe, the USA, Latin America and Asia. As founding head of Bohemian Recordings, Michael Burian fosters young talents and releases his own projects. In 2012 his hit “Beautiful Love” reached No. 1 in the Czech radio charts and his radio show “Dance EXXtravaganza”, broadcast by the Czech Republic’s largest radio station, Radio Evropa 2, is heard by fans around the world. In 2011 Michael Burian teamed up with another Burian, Robert, and their production alliance Burian & Burian has since been producing international hit tracks. Michael Burian also pursues other music projects and since 2010 has played live sell-out concerts with a symphony orchestra at venues that include the New World Center in Miami. Yet his name extends beyond the music scene: from 2005 to 2010 he was brand ambassador for the Diesel fashion label in the Czech and Slovak Republics. In 2003 the illustrious Czech Academy of Popular Music invited him to serve on the jury of the Andel Awards, a role in which he applied his artistic knowledge for several years. He is a regular guest on the Czech music channel Ocko-TV and on MTV, writes columns for a range of music magazines and has received a string of accolades for his musical accomplishments. Beyond the world of music he is part of a campaign in favour of more democracy and larger election turnouts in the Czech Republic; he and Vaclav Havel and a host of other well-known Czech personalities are involved in the antikomunismus.cz platform.
