"Universal Nation" is the first and the most successful release by DJ/producer Mike "M.I.K.E." Dierickx under his alias Push. What began as small trance studio project in late ‘97, became an international commercial success over the years. Its style is progressive trance, a very popular sub-genre in the 90’s. The song was first released in 1998 on the legendary Belgian trance label Bonzai Records. After receiving positive reviews, the song was signed in France, Spain and Germany. One year later, other European countries followed (UK, Italy, Norway, Sweden, The Netherlands). Due to the several individual releases, the song has three different titles: Universal Nation, Universal Nation ’99 and Universal Nation (The Real Anthem).

Mike Dierickx is generally praised for his high quality productions. Therefore Universal Nation is often quoted as an "all time favorite trance record". In 1999 Universal Nation won "Best club single Move-X Dance Awards".

Universal Nation was followed by "Cosmonautica", "Legacy", "Please Save Me" (feat. Sunscreem) and "Strange World". All of them were extremely well received in the European clubscene. Today Universal Nation is regarded as an ultimate trance classic.
