Push

Push is the project of Belgian producer Mike Dierickx, born February 20, 1973 in Antwerp. Originally starting as Dirk Dierickx in the 1990s before legally changing his name to Mike Dierickx in 2000, he relocated to New York City and has maintained the Push moniker as his primary electronic music outlet. The project initially involved collaborators Mark Carpentier, Bart Beirinckx, and Thierry Wybauw during its early years. He also releases music under aliases including Return Of The Native, Calling The Freak, and The Blackmaster.

Push's sound spans multiple electronic genres, from peak time driving techno to main floor trance, with recent expansions into 140 BPM dubstep, Afro house, and bass house. His releases appear on established labels including Terminal M, Armada Music, and Codex Recordings, alongside underground imprints like Filth on Acid and Arcane Music. With 11 releases tracked since 2019, his output demonstrates consistent activity across the tempo spectrum, delivering both the hard-hitting energy suitable for peak time sets and the melodic elements that characterize his trance foundation.
