(Another M.I.K.E., known as Mike, is an Indonesian Singer who won the finals of Indonesian Idol. His songs are tagged on this page.)
Although mostly known for his productions under the aliases M.I.K.E., Push and Plastic Boy, Mike has released hundreds of records under more than eighty aliases and collaborations since 1992 in a wide variety of styles ranging from rave, techno, progressive house, trance, electro to even R&B, from accessible commercial anthems to minimalist underground sounds. He also produced tracks for Yves DeRuyter, Marco Bailey,Armin Van Buuren, Ian Van Dahl and Diabokua.
At the age of 18, Mike handed his first demo tape to the Antwerp record company USA Import Music and released his first record as Vision Act. In 1996 he signed with Lightning Records (the parent company of Bonzai Records) where he worked with most of its artists and achieved his major commercial breakthrough in 1998 with the trance anthem "Universal Nation" under his Push guise, one of the best selling dance vinyls of all time which even ended up in mainstream singles charts all over the world. This was followed up by two more chart hits, "Strange World" and "The Legacy".
As the list continued, creating such hits brought on major appeal by huge names like Moby, Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren, Gareth Emery and so much more - which of whom M.I.K.E produced impressive collaborations and remixes for.
As time passed and M.I.K.E.'s name spread, popular demand began to expand rapidly worldwide! From the UK, to cities all around Europe & straight across the Atlantic & into North America and down Latin America, Asia and Australia - Ministry of Sound, DanceValley, Tomorrowland, Trance Energy, Winter Music Conference - were some of the prestigious venues that till this day M.I.K.E. is noticed for as a top leading performer/DJ.
And we wonder, where does he find the time to make so many hit releases? Through the wave of fans, the touring, atmosphere and passion for music are what tell the stories behind each of his exceptional tracks labeled under monikers Push, Plastic boy, to his most widely used name - M.I.K.E.
And now teaming up with labels such as Sirup Music, High Contrast Records, Garuda Music, and Armada Music, he continues introducing fresh new sounds with edge & a twist of progressive and club house for a totally modish blend. You can grab a taste on his weekly radio show 'Club Elite Sessions', also heard on various stations worldwide including SiriusXM and Digitally Imported Radio .

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nah it make me think of you
It make me miss your touch
Pour up when I'm in my feelings
I think of you everytime my mind drift
Got to stay true to myself
Ain't really float in a minute
Ay
Ay
Creativity my favorite drug
It make me think of love
Nah it make me think of you
It make me miss your touch
This painting in the booth
Blank Canvas got me construed
Don't ball me just come through
So sublime could be my muse
Let you know through all this music
Like what you think i'm cupid
I can't believe we do this
Can't deny
Know its useless
You can't get enough you stupid sprung
Can't front that body stupid
She know if she double back then she can stay
Cause I been choosing
(Talk too nice to me)
Got me thinking I could spend some time with you
(Get right with me)
Never fucked with a winner I could teach you something new
(Excite me)
Ain't got to say too much we hella' throwed
Leave your friends at home and show me something
DND your phone
Creativity my favorite drug
It make me think of love
Nah it make me think of you
It make me miss your touch
This painting in the booth
Blank Canvas got me construed
Don't ball me just come through
So sublime could be my muse
(She say touch me)
Touch me in the right places
Talking vibrations
It's a vibe whenever we arrange it
Say my name
She call me 3 when she need me to tame it
Get into this lifestyle
Relapse then ima leave you shaking
(Yea yea)
But you can't blame me baby
Swimming all in your ocean I almost slipped away
Got sick of causing commotion I only want a taste
You like my favorite medication only want to face
Yea you told all your friends that you fuck with me
You act like after we fuck you wasn't stuck with me
Fuck that
Won't trip if you wasn't showing love to me
Thug it out baby
I'm too sharp like I cut something
They been running down on me so I speak so abruptly
I ran it up
Thats why they on me they so star struck
Tell me would you change on me
When i'm down would you skate on me
Convinced you only wanna switch lanes with me
Creativity my favorite drug
It make me think of love
Nah it make me think of you
It make me miss your touch
This painting in the booth
Blank Canvas got me construed
Don't ball me just come through

Let you know through all this music
Like what you think i'm cupid
I can't believe we do this
Can't deny
Know its useless
You can't get enough you stupid sprung
You can't get enough you stupid sprung
Can't front that body stupid
