I am a big fan of M.I.K.E. the guise doesn't really matter, he has some which i find better than others, but he has so many tracks that i enjoy.

In terms of his M.I.K.E. moniker, i think his best track is Someone somewhere, although Intruder, Totally Fascinated, Sunrise at Palamos and the Ofra haza remix come close, he has quite a range of sounds with this moniker to be fair.

Also he is to release more stuff under PUSH supposedly - which can only be good!

Heard someone mention: Virtua Trancer - Sex after Dinner - A very good track this one, really like that sound.

Does he still produce or going to produce in his Active Sight guise?

If you dont have space in your heart for a mike production you should give up on edm. people blast on about mike losing his touch with his 'electro style', when really it is no more electro than some of the stuff on his first album (from beyond). imo his deep flexion stuff of late is as strong as back when he built bonzai up to the best trance label in the world, with tracks like 'twixt', 'universal nation', 'the legacy', 'strange world'... see what happened to bonzai when he left - it went from the best label, to a label many regard as low quality.

a very ignorant thread starter imo

He'll be releasing an Active Sight album in the (near?) future. Would have been released around this time at first, but because Fred Baker had some problems and he wanted to focus on his own artist album, it was delayed

How can sound exist if there's no one there to hear it?

this is going to be halframbly but here goes. i don't consider myself as a m.i.k.e. expert, but i do know some things, mike has 30+ monikers, the push one, while being his most famous one and the one with the most 'hits' is his weakest. It helps digging deeper with his stuff, yeah ok, most of it sounds the same but then again, mike (and L-Vee for that matter) in his prime (strong emphasis on that) had a VERY distinct sound, you can hear if it's a mike production just by the first bar of beats.

Look beyond his recent productions and beyond 'strange world', 'tranzy state of mind' (what a load of bollocks that track was) & 'the legacy'. as for 'strange world', try the spectrum remix which is really good and REALLY underrated, also stuff under 'the blackmaster' moniker which was recommended by simcut, also solar factor - 'no return', alot of his b-sides are really good, especially the older plastic boy ones. and everything under the 'return of the native' moniker, especially persuasion & his astec remix.
