Maikel Gutierrez was born in Ponferrada (Spain), in 1986. In the late 90s, he discovered electronic dance music thanks to many Spanish radio stations and some TV programs, and was attracted to this kind of music. In early 2002 he had his first contact with trance music thanks to the internet and many websites about this genre. Over time, he listened to many tracks and sets from various trance artists and completely fell in love with this style.
Maikel started DJing in 2003 and since then hasn't stopped. In 2006, he started a radio-show called "Trance Highways" on an humble online station (TM Radio) which lasted for 7 years. Artists like Andy Duguid, Niklas Harding, Aurosonic or Akku were his guests, among others.
Nowadays, Sunnteck is the host of the monthly podcast Pixelated Memories and is also focused on producing. He has released tracks on labels like EDCT Music, Eximinds Airlines, Big Toys Production (Freegrant Music), Trance All-Stars, Redux Deep, D.MAX Recordings.
