Michna has been DJing and playing in bands since 1994. In 1997 he started producing electronic music, and finally saw a proper 12" release in 2001 with his group Secret Frequency Crew. He went on to release a handful of records with the Crew and solo under the name Egg Foo Young. Those productions appeared in physical recorded formats (7" singles, 12" singles, 12" EP's, LP's, and CD's) on various labels such as Touchin' Bass, Warner/Reprise, Domino/Mad Decent, Big Dada, Money Studies, Low Transit Industries, Dirty White Boy, Mass Transit (R.I.P.), Asphodel/Schematic (R.I.P.), and Counterflow (R.I.P.) In 2008 he signed a deal with Ghostly International and released the monster album "Magic Monday." Michna toured the album relentlessly and touched on 3 of the worlds 7 continents. At present he is currently back in the studio working on his sophomore LP, tentatively titled "Endless Tuesday." Michna plans to do an album for everyday of the week, and then retire in Hawaii and race RC Cars on a full time basis. "Endless Tuesday" will initially be promoted via a 50-date DJ tour reaching all 50 states of the USA, followed by Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, and Australia.

Hello! I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much Magic Monday inspires me. I listened to it on my most recent visit to the West Coast and have been spreading the word about that album. The vibe and energy is wonderful and I have soft spots for "Believe in it" and "Do What You Want to Do"
