- Projects for the future? 
Are ,,Michael Burian in Heaven'', it is a new project in Prague, which has his premiere on the 02th of April 2010. Therefore I have invited international artists such as vocalists or singers. There is a separate rehearsed performance of artists from the musical theater or ballet. Also musician or drummer or violists will attend me live as well.
To join in there are still other projects with our agents from DSG ENT GRP from New York! Together we want to re-start 2010 in the USA. I can see huge potential for our electronical music. But lots must be to done to organize an event in the USA with DJs and over 20.000 guests.
Since 2008, I have put some music in NYC, Chicago or Miami and it was always an experience, because the clubs were completely filled. In Europe, for example in the Czech Republic, about 20,000 people come to my gigs in the arenas. I have recorded a DVD as well for example for the event in the O2 arena in Prague. An indoor event is appropriate, where all visitors come in white clothes. This event is called www.sensation.com and is in Europe, Chile or in Australia a mega event with over 20.000 visitors for each event. There I will present a live act with the NYC vocalist Peyton on the 29the of May 2010.


- You are a very popular DJ/Producer in Eastern Europe
Through my successes as a DJ and producer in eastern Europe, India, England and Ibiza, I was frequently renowned with awards for best dance music DJ - best event - the best producer. So, for example, the designer brand “Diesel” takes notice of me and dress me since 4 years, as prominent flagship artist. Likewise Audi is since 3 years my partner and supports me with their vehicles. Be it in the Audi calendar 2010, where I am shown with personalities or on beliefs of the new Audi models, I´m booked for the musical entertainment.
