Nico. Nico Suffis. He keeps on tagging me on Facebook. And you know what? I do not mind that, not at all. Sometimes his mixes are just too long, but those that I can listen to whilst driving home, or at work, those are the ones I'm absorbing most of the time. So his latest mix. This was one I had to listen to, just because of the simple fact that M.I.K.E. / PUSH is such a recognisable name in the Trance industry. A name linked to many great anthems, and probably the greatest Trance anthem of all time. But more about that in a minute.
Nico is addicted to Trance, and would you disagree with him? It's probably the best style in the whole wide world. Not one ounce of aggressive in it. It's all about peace, love, unity, and respect. And Trance music is the right style to embrace all these terms. But who would you pick if you had to make a tribute mix? Which artist does resemble Trance music in its purest form? Who is so Trance-like, he could single-handedly change the future? Yes, PUSH / M.I.K.E.
It's an obvious choice of Nico. He's made other mixes too, don't get me wrong. He does release mixes nearly every week onto his Soundcloud, so if you think that this mix isn't enough for you, just check it out. But this mix stands out from all the rest. This is Trance. This is pure. This is fecking epic! Some people might say that it's the Belgian sound that makes his music great, but to me he makes borderless music. This is music embraced by every culture all over the world. PUSH has found the key of making Trance music so damn good. So Nico's choice is an obvious one.

OK, before we continue, we ALL have to come clean: we were all looking for the 'Strange World' record, weren't we? Especially the 2000 Remake version. Fuck me sideways, up and down, this is the GREATEST piece of Trance music ever made. And Nico teases us at the beginning of the mix: I didn't see the tracklist at first, and hear the majestic piano bits, and was slightly disappointed that I heard a remix, not the one I was hoping for. But fear not, around 1:47:00 the track comes in, and destroys you completely. I melted like butter when I heard this tune. A genuine tear jerker.
The power behind this mix is beyond reckoning. This is a powerful mix. A powerful 2 1/2 hours of M.I.K.E. a.k.a. PUSH. What a legend, what a superstar. This mix contains sooo many wicked anthems: it doesn't matter which event you hear these at, the crowds will unity and become one. We all raise our hands in the air and let us be enchanted by the spiritual sounds from this pioneer, this legend, this all-time hero!
I can only give Nico credit for tagging me in this mix on Facebook. This is his best so far. I cannot describe the feelings this mix has generated, but if I did, I would expose myself too much, and let's not do that. Let's keep it clean and legitimate. Just fucking listen to this mix. Shut up and press play!
