Have to agree, I've pulled out some of his early bits done in 98 recently, listened to them again and they've got an early push-esque style to them that's just lovely.
I like to think it's a slightly more intelligent form of trance compared to corsten, tiesto et al.
While we're at it, Armin is probably my best remixer in the last 2 years, prior to that tie between VDM and Corsten.

yep, Moogwai's brilliant, Push's brilliant, but they're not the same.
I must vote for Push as one of the best producers ever, though it's always hard to say who's the best, there are so many brilliant producers out there. But I'd probably vote for him against some of the other big names.

I like Push, but there are several producers I prefer:
Strange World and Universal Nation are both classics, but the problem I've always had with M.I.K.E. is that he has produced a lot of mediocre tracks along with his brilliant ones. For me, he is hit and miss, whereas I enjoy virtually all the production of the artists I mentioned above.
That's just my personal taste, though. I admit trance wouldn't be the same without M.I.K.E.'s many great contributions.

No, Moogwai is FRANCOIS CHABLOZ, also known as Chab
Push is easily one of the best trance producers. He has been here for awhile and produced under many different guises, the styles ranging from progressive to somewhat uplifting. Yep, this guy is top notch

I think you've got the right idea. Push has many aliases and has released lots of records, but take a look at Oliver Lieb's discography sometime -- the amount of releases he's responsible for is quite astounding. It's also true that he's been in the scene for much longer. However, while Lieb has probably contributed more overall, I'd easily say M.I.K.E. and Laurent "L-Vee" Veronnez are the two top producers of recent times, with my personal nod going to L-Vee out of personal preference. Can't go wrong with Bonzai.
how does making a lot of releases qualify someone as the best producer? i like push, oliver lieb, and l-vee, but they also produce a lot of crap. and so just because they make a lot of crap and then a couple of good songs doesn't mean that they are the greatest thing to hit trance.
