- Biography
More commonly known as M-22, the british-german DJ and production duo Matt James and Frank Sanders are the mastermind pair behind a flurry of the biggest club hits of recent times.
Offering a unique and refreshing creative process, writing all their songs from scratch, the pair pride themselves on their ability to produce an entirely organic product from start to finish, with their 2015 debut single ‘Some Time’ reaching #6 in the UK Club Charts, earning the title of BBC Radio 1Xtra’s ‘Record Of The Week’. With follow-up single ‘Good To Be Loved’ named as Pete Tong’s ‘Essential New Tune’, the pair soon signed to Swedish House Mafia legend Sebastian Ingrosso’s Refune Music label, with their next single ‘Inspiration’ pinpointed by Danny Howard. Contributing ‘Love You Loud’ on Robin Schulz’s multi-award winning ‘Sugar’ album, M-22 soon cemented their sound with the release of Klingande collaboration ‘Somewhere New’ which racked up over 100 million combined streams.
Signing to 3beat in 2017, it was ‘First Time’ featuring Medina which saw the duo truly skyrocket, soon achieving silver certification in the UK. M-22 soon delivered performances at Tomorrowland, and Balearic superclubs Hi and Ushuaia. The duo proved their dynamic diversity in the studio, creating official remixes for the likes of Avicii, Adam Lambert, Anne-Marie, Rita Ora, Clean Bandit, Sigma, Rudimental, Major Lazer and Marshmello.
