A new Push with vocals this time. I like the more commercial direction this time. Finally a bit trancy too.

the mixing is absolutely terrible here and the vocals must be ai.. not that any of this coming from mike surprises me at this point

The sound design is good, melody solid - slightly darker, Push sound recognazible - the typical clap, snare and even the playful hi-hats are finally back after all of these years - love it! 
just shame about those vocals they do sound like AI.
But all in all a pretty solid track, possibly the best Push track since Remind and In The Dark You Shine
Also Melodic Trauma was good, but that was more of synthwave rather than trance
Possible 7/10 or even 8 - one point down for those vocals!

after he used Dennis Pedersen template for "his" track on Coldharbour in 2010s, nothing would surprise me coming from him, certainly not shitty AI vocals that flooded the industry recently

The vocalist seems to be the same as on this commercial song from 2018, so maybe there is a chance its not by AI after all

A vocalist name is Eli Hayes (Source: MIKE on Facebook).
I feel nothing after listening this one.

My apologies for misjudging the possible AI vocals. I'm glad they turned out to be real after all. The track is great, loving it!
It's not a good thing for the vocalist and producer if their outcome is easy to confuse for ai lol
Based on just the production, this is probably the best Push track in a while.
However, I am not a fan of the vocals and would strongly prefer a dub. In any case overall for me the instrumental part outweighs the vocals and I can enjoy the track as a whole.

Really tried with this one as liked the samples I heard on beatport etc... bought the track and had it included in my latest set. Had to remove it on the fly during the mix as tbh...... 1. It's far too short, and 2. The sound levels/ quality are really poor and it just made it impossible to mix it in effectively (without using the modern style of a 20 second transition (Which I don't ever do!)).
Oh yeah, and 3. The vocals are Poo!
Shame really

I know what you mean. On headphones at home is sounds very pleasant but on bigger speakers it's all muddy. Anyway it's still a huuuuge improvement quality wise and production wise!

There was always a problem to mix Push / MIKE tracks, cause its so different from the usual mainstream trance. I remember Transformation track from back in the days, it was almost impossible to mix it in, cause nothing sounded like that and I would say thats rather a compliment
