Mikkel's musical career started more than 10 years ago as a guitarist in various noise-rock bands. In the mid-nineties focus changed to electronic music, inspiration coming primarily from breakbeat music, especially drum'n'bass. It's this period that gave Mikkel his nickname "Metal", due to his fondness of hard metallic drum'n'bass cuts

Around 1999 Mikkel changed focus towards genres like click'n'cuts, IDM, techo and dub, and started releasing under the "Mikkel Metal" moniker. Primarily he releases on danish label Echocord and German label Kompakt. The former with a dubby grainy sound , the latter focusing on a more melodic and 4/4-based sound.
