M.I.K.E. joins the Broadcast! Mike's aka Dirk Dierickx started to DJ at the age of 16. He used the name DJ Mike, which is why, after he also produced under this name, he decided to change his real name from Dirk to Mike in 2001. Mike is releasing under several project names like Solar Factor, Plastic Boy, Return of the Native, The Blackmaster and of course Push. His style of DJing is very similar to the music he makes, on a hard-edged tech-progressive trance tip. M.I.K.E is at the forefront of Europe's new sound, regularly topping charts in several leading countries.
The story began when an 11 year old boy discovered the potential of samplers and keyboards... At the age of 18, Mike handed his first demo tape to the Antwerp based record company, 'USA Import'. Shortly after, his first record, 'Vision Act' was released on the Atom label in 1992. Mike released a series of successful records before he signed up with Lightning in 1996. This gave him the opportunity to team up with Yves Deruyter, as his producer. Mike was behind YDR hits, 'To The Rhythm','The Rebel" and more recently, 'Back To Earth' and 'Spiritual Feelings'. Pole positions in the worldwide dance charts were soon putting the Belgian dance scene firmly on the map. M.I.K.E's reputation shot through the roof, and although a commercial crossover had never been anticipated, in 1998 'Universal Nation' by push took the world by storm, winning several dance awards, and undoubtedly being recognized as one of the classic records of the trance era. His Push follow up single, 'Strange World', destroyed hundreds of clubs across Europe, in the same vein as 'Universal Nation'. This was followed by yet another blockbuster, 'The Legacy' once again topping all dance charts across Europe. Over the years Mike received several music awards including best club singles and best dance-producer.
Mike also teamed up and did remixes for Sinead 'O Connor, Moby, Mauro Piccoto, Bomfunk Mc's,Oliver Lieb…This kind of success did not go unnoticed, as M.I.K.E. was asked to DJ at some of the best venues in the world, including: 'Gatecrasher' and 'Godskitchen'in the UK, 'Fura' and 'Vel Farre' in Japan, 'Massive and 'Trance Energy' in Holland, 'Limelight' U.S. and the Berlin Love Parade…are a few to mention…

Trifactor makes his debut on the Broadcast! Few DJ/producers can boast of the unique sound that is Vic’s-deep and intense but with the amazing ability to launch any listener on a groovelicious journey. As a DJ, he has graced many audiences of the world with his style. As a producer, he has given his own flavor to electronic music.
Vic was first introduced to the underground scene and sound in the early nineties. Scouring for new musical influences, he chanced upon a pirate radio station playing electronic tracks. And so destiny called. Up until then, this genre was foreign to him but Vic became captivated by it and started to explore the world of beats. In his hometown of Los Angeles, he wove himself into the scene and began picking up on various DJs’ tricks and techniques. In a time when nearly everyone seemed to be striving to become an upcoming DJ, dabbling in the art of spinning seemed overwhelming at first. Yet, by emulating some of his most admired DJs, as well as developing and fine-tuning his own progressive sound, Vic began to make name for himself.
Vic also knew that spinning by itself was not enough for him. Indeed, he was no stranger to the studio as he began creating his own progressive tracks through computer-based programs. Now a producer as well as a DJ, he had a renewed fervor to further exploit the world of electronic music. So much so that a hobby soon turned into a career path as Vic delved deeper into it. Soon, he found himself working with DHV Records (no longer affiliated), both spinning as well as helping organize the company’s events. Putting production on hold, Vic released his first CD, Tunnel of Ecstasy. His debut album showcased his master talents, and his continuance on the tables kept audiences hooked on his pulsating sound, as well as gave him the opportunity to play alongside many of today’s top talents.
In the summer of 2000, Vic was asked to join Ambrosia 2000 tour in South America. It was during the tour that he recorded and released a second CD, entitled Vision in Creation-Live at the Ambrosia 2000 Tour, Lima, Peru. His groundbreaking style and energy left such a tremendous impact on his South American fans that Vic was asked to return for a solo tour to once again keep the dance floors throbbing with his massive beats.
After touring in numerous countries, Vic once again frequented the studio. The array of tracks stemming from the sessions were collected and mastered in his first release with Trilogy, which debuted in the fall of 2001, under TRIFACTOR. The year of 2003 brought Trifactor many new remixes and hype. With remixes of David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance”and Erin McKeown “Cosmopolitans” on Nettwerk America, this is only a taste for what 2004 has to offer.
