New Push album and single

MIKE:
January 2009, i just started to work on the new PUSH album.
After my personal "i feel trance again / comeback" ..i really feel i'm ready for it!
After 5 years, yep it's that long when "Electric Eclipse" came out, i'm very exited to pick up my most knows guise again, and i'm ready for it!After the "Universal Voice E.P." , which was actually a mini album, "Dream Designer" was more a crossover track and a try out to what kind of sound i wanna head at for the new album.
I did wrote some tracks in New York City, my second home, but i do work them out here in my studio in Antwerp / Belgium.
4 tracks are in mix down stage, including the new single due for february 23rd."Interference" comes with a club mix and a very exiting [B]Sean Tyas remix.[/B
It has the typical "back in time" Push feel over it.
Next week i start my official "Blogger" page where you can follow my dialy or weekly updates on the new album.
I told everyone already, my friends, my family, my kid, 2009 is gonna be a very exiting year!More and teasers tba soon...
Mike


Pretty exciting! I cant wait...MIKE will play the new single in the next Club Elite Sessions...I hope this single will be more succesfull than the massive and uderrated Dream Designer which was not playlisted at all (except some small radioshows). But I think the problem is in Club Elite label with their bad promotion of singles... ]

word
iam lookin foward to hearin his typical "back in time" push feeling
thats what i miss...i understand m.i.k.e is tryin to evolve as an artist and his sound, but thats why he has different aliases imo
the push sound should not be changed, i honestly didnt like that universal voice ep
dream designer is alot better then those songs, but no where near what i hoped for
i spoke to mike in nov he even said 2009 is gonna be a big year
so iam lookin foward to hearing not just push, but whatever else he has instore

Totally understandable, as far as I'm concerned. Even though the lead synth was somewhat reminiscent of The Legacy, the melody was very cheesy as well as the piano during the breakdown.

I hope Mike manages to bring back the edgier feel of his tracks. Otherwise I'm not interested.

If he creates a second Dream Designer this alias should be buried as quickly as possible. The Push sound shouldn't be used for unicorntrance.

Dream Designer i did not like. I really loved Trance Indicator.. But it's al quite noisy though.

I mostly liked his tunes like Cosmonautica and Universal Nation, with a simple yet highly effective melody. Sometimes less is more

Nice news

8 wonders remix of dream designer is massive imho, all other original stuff by Mike wasnt too interesting since last couple of years


Posted by Lim�n on Jan-20-2009 13:39:

I've heard some shitty stuff from trance producers recently and dream designer wasnt all that shitty,
I will say that his recent remixes like that of Armin in and out of love and Ferry's made of love are quite the catchy ones.
I won't hold a grudge and knock his productions, but I will be expecting some major tracks from this album
His recent work like Oasis of dreams and logic are tight tho

I agree, especially the 8 Wonders Remix was worth listening to. The original was just ok.

theres a push remix of nueva york on m.i.k.e's myspace
kind of sounds like his old style
iam feeling it


Posted by NoisyNeil on Jan-21-2009 13:45:

i agree, "dream designer" was kind of a jip. and so have been a lot of other mike-productions recently, but... he has got the talent to produce mindblowing stuff as he has been doing the last 10 years so i'll give it a try once it hits the scene!


Posted by SMC on Jan-21-2009 14:15:

I used to like M.I.K.E. but i've realized how incredibly uninspired many of his productions have been the past five years or so. He uses, reuses and abuses all his own cliches and makes tons of utterly forgettable tracks.

Looking forward to listen to the new Push album and single.
M.I.K.E. is a legend and a producer who influenced a lot of other dj's and producer.


Posted by Jasperovitsj on Jan-21-2009 20:51:

I must agree that Dream Designer was a big miss, quite a terrible track. Pretty much similar to From Here To Nowhere, only much much weaker and waaaaay too fluffy. If that's going to be the sound of the new album, even a longtime superfan like me will finally lose faith in Mike. However, the previous Universal Voices EP was absolutely ace, and so are those Caromax tracks he's finally released last week. So I'm pretty sure he's still got it. I just hope he'll up his standard and carefully select which tracks he'll use for the album and which tracks he won't. I mean, there's no need for those electro-inspired tracks, since he already has his M.I.K.E. guise for that...


Posted by Jasperovitsj on Jan-21-2009 21:15:

Damn, those new samples on his myspace sound very impressive.

exactly
alot of people dont realize how many aliases and songs this man put out
maybe half of the releases off of bonzai were from him alone under different aliases lol
but as for his recent stuff, the m.i.k.e album the perfect blend was very good imo
as was his new absolute album, i really like that alias lots of emotion
so to be honest i dont think i will ever hate m.i.k.e, cause he done so much for the scene, he may not be what he used to be back in 98-2003 banging out amazing trance tunes week after week
but i dont sleep on him cause every once in a while he does come out with some amazing stuff


Posted by tranceCDs on Jan-22-2009 00:34:

IMO he made the best track last year: Absolute - Sky High

Agree, unfortunately. I'm not excited about his releases anymore. The last good one IMO was R.E.S.P.E.C.T

Have been living in the cave since his It's A Plastic World album. What did I miss out?
