(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.Â
 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.Â
 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 .Â

M.I.K.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the morning
It's been much too cold for you
I've been living in boxes
All alone
You've been, you've been
I'm caught in your event horizon
Even though, I'm never here
All rivers lead to the sea
In your arms, I will be
In your arms, I will be
Film grain, glazing over lonely eyes
Old songs, sung aloud in vain
The road, it often calls me in the night
And always, I never want
Never want to go
Even though, I never stay
I'm caught in your event horizon
Even though, I'm never here
All rivers lead to the sea
In your arms, I will be
In your arms, I will be
The lyrics of the song "Your Loving Arms" by M.I.K.E. are open to interpretation, but they seem to express a feeling of longing for someone's love and embrace, despite the challenges of distance and the pull of other obligations. The opening lines suggest a weariness with routine, and a sense of isolation and chilliness - perhaps emotional as well as physical. The box metaphor could represent feeling trapped or contained, unable to move or express oneself fully. The next lines may describe the singer's lover, who has been waiting faithfully and patiently, and whose love is a kind of gravitational force that pulls the singer back, even when he tries to resist. The metaphor of the event horizon - the point of no return beyond a black hole - suggests that the singer feels trapped by his own desires as well as by the strength of his lover's love.
The second half of the song shifts to more concrete images, like the film grain and old songs that evoke nostalgia and regret. The road could represent the pull of freedom and adventure, but also the loneliness and disconnection that can come from being always on the move. Despite this, the singer is drawn back to his lover, who offers a sense of belonging and warmth. The final repetition of "In your arms, I will be" suggests a surrender to the power of love and the desire for human connection.

I've seen too many sunsets
I have experienced too much pain and disappointment
In the morning
Even at the beginning of my day
It's been much too cold for you
You have suffered because of me
I've been living in boxes
I have isolated myself from others
All alone
Without anyone to share my life with
You've been, you've been
You have been my constant in a changing world
Even though, I never stay
Although I am constantly on the move
I'm caught in your event horizon
I am inexorably pulled towards you
Even though, I'm never here
Even though I am not physically present
All rivers lead to the sea
All paths ultimately lead to the same destination
In your arms, I will be
I long to find comfort and safety in your embrace
Film grain, glazing over lonely eyes
The passage of time and loneliness have blurred my vision
Old songs, sung aloud in vain
I find no solace in my past memories
The road, it often calls me in the night
I am compelled to wander aimlessly
And always, I never want
But I never truly desire to leave
Never want to go
Never want to leave your presence
