(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 .

Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
I just wanna make a mil
I just wanna touch the ceiling
I just wanna run it up
Fuck nigga get out your feelings
Fuck nigga get out your feelings
Rent due, no food
A young just nigga tryna have options
Looking at all of my wins
And balancing them will all of my losses
Took all the precautions
Late nights through the daylight
Bags under my eyes
But I ain’t shopping
But look at me now
And see how it’s change
I hit the stage
The crowd say my name
Been through the storm I been through the pain
But brighter days come after the rain
Sun shining
Brighter than muzzles
When guns firing
Came a long way
From bus riding
I fought for mine
And you witnessed a part of my uprising
I just wanna make a mil
I’m just tryna touch the ceiling
I’m just tryna run it up
Fuck nigga get out your feeling
Fuck nigga get out your feelings

I’m tired of worrying about problems
I have grown weary of dealing with challenges and stress
Rent due, no food
I have financial obligations and insufficient resources
A young just nigga tryna have options
I am a young man striving to have more opportunities in life
Looking at all of my wins
Reflecting on my previous successes
And balancing them will all of my losses
Also considering my failures
Took all the precautions
I have taken necessary measures to minimize risks
Late nights through the daylight
I have worked long hours, day and night
Bags under my eyes
Physical evidence of the toll that hard work has taken on me
But I ain’t shopping
I am not spending frivolously with my hard-earned money
But look at me now
However, my hard work has paid off
And see how it’s change
Observe my progress and transformation
I hit the stage
I am now performing onstage
The crowd say my name
The audience recognizes and cheers for me
Been through the storm I been through the pain
I have endured challenging and difficult times
But brighter days come after the rain
However, good times are ahead
Sun shining
There is now positivity and good energy in my life
Brighter than muzzles
Even brighter than the flash of guns firing
When guns firing
When violence and conflict arise
Came a long way
I have come a significant distance
From bus riding
From riding public transportation
I fought for mine
I worked hard and struggled to achieve my goals
And you witnessed a part of my uprising
You have seen and experienced my personal journey of progress and success

My Mother wasn't a big gamer, but Legend of Zelda was one of her games she always played. She didn't often take time off of work, but I remember when she was getting close to the end, she took a few days off of work to simply play the game and beat it.

Reminds me of my mum. After my dad died, part of how she dealt with her grief was playing ToeJam & Earl on the Mega Drive until the early hours of the morning.
She's completed that game more times than I have.

"10th Enemy Has the Bomb" This is one of the most cryptic Old Man tips in the game. But It's really the key to the swordless run. The trick is to kill as many enemies as possible without getting hit--if the tenth enemy is a bomb dropping enemy (green moblins, blue octoroks, red darknuts, red goriyas, etc.), it's a guaranteed drop. The counting is tedious, but makes this run far less stressful. Rupies should never be wasted on bombs.
(Also: 10:30 You're mixing up the moldorms and the lanmolas, Mike. Moldorms are those guys--lanmolas are the faster moving centipede guys that come in red, then later, a much faster blue version in Level 9. Easy mix-up, since both became worm-shaped Light World bosses in A Link to the Past.)
