DIRK "M.I.K.E." DIERICKX
REAL NAME: MIKE DIRK DIERICKX
BIRTH DATE: 20-02-1973
Mike Dierickx is PUSH and he produces under the name M.I.K.E. and also started to DJ under this alias. M.I.K.E is also releasing records under the guises of Solar Factor, M.I.K.E., Plastic Boy... As a DJ, M.I.K.E.'s style is very similar to the music he makes, a tech edged progressive trance tip. M.I.K.E is at the forefront of Europe's new sound, regularly topping charts in several leading countries.
The story began when an 11 year old boy discovered the potential of samplers and keyboards... A kid who preferred knobs and backlight displags instead of playing in kinder-gardens, At the age of 18, M.I.K.E. handed his first demo tape to the Antwerp based record company, 'USA Import'. Shortly after, his first record, 'Vision Act' was released on the Atom label in 1992. M.I.K.E. released a series of successful records before he signed up with Lightning Records, the original home of Bonzai Records, back in 1996.
In 1998 Push's first single 'Universal Nation' took the world by storm. Winning several dance awards and undoubtedly being recognized as one of the classic dance-records of the trance era. Pole positions in the worldwide dance charts were soon putting the Belgian dance scene firmly on the map.
His Push follow up single, 'Strange World', destroyed hundreds of clubs across Europe, in the same vein as 'Universal Nation'. This was followed by yet another blockbuster, 'The Legacy' once again topping all dance charts across Europe and entering the British National charts at #21.
Over the years Mike received several music awards including best club singles and best dance-producer & entered 6 times in a row the National UK Single Top 100. M.I.K.E. also teamed up & made remixes for Sinéad 0'Connor, Moby, Mauro Piccoto, Bomfunk Mc's, Oliver Lieb, Ian Van Dahl...
His successes didn't go unnoticed, as M.I.K.E. was asked to DJ at some of the best venues in the world. Including: 'Gatecrasher' & 'Godskitchen' in the UK, 'Fura' & 'Velfarre' in Japan, 'Massive' & 'Trance Energy' in Holland, 'Limelight' U.S. and the Berlin Love Parade, ... to name just a few.
In 2003 the first single 'Journey Of Life' from his second album "Electric Eclipse' was released on the renewed Bonzai Music, still the mother label for Push gaining again great reactions and support from DJ's all over the world.
Now March 2004 the second single and titletrack from the album 'Electric Eclipse' is set for release... together with the album.
A new phase in the Push sound which evolves more and more into a leading techtrance sound!
