Matt James Frank Sanders |
M-22 is a Canadian-German DJ[1] and producer duo consisting of Matt James and Frank Sanders. On March 22 the duo met, through a joint production, which is the reason for their stage name.[2]
History
At the age of 14, Matt James begins creating his own sounds. Just two years later, he is playing along Pete Tong and Roger Sanchez at the Syndicate Blackpool. Shortly after Ministry Of Sound signs him up as a writer/producer. Henceforth, James writes and produces songs for artists such as H Two O. Also the German-Dutch Frank Sanders can celebrate some achievements as a producer and songwriter before M-22. Sanders wrote and produced songs for Jason Derulo and Armanda Wilson.[3]
On March 22, the duo met during a joint production for Sony Music in Canada. James and Sanders likes each other instantly and produce on the same day their first single "Good To Be Loved".
In April 2015, M-22 published the track "Sometime" which peaked in the UK Club Chart at #6. The song was selected by the Sarah-Jane Crawford Show (BBC1 Xtra) as "Record Of The Week ". Their debut single was released on 22 May 2015 and reached in iTunes Top 50 of the Chart. On EDM.com the song made it to #5 on the Chart. Several DJ support the track. Tiësto, Don Diablo and Robin Schulz played the song several times in their radio shows.[4]
DJ Robin Schulz worked with M-22 and produced the song "Love Me Loud" featuring Aleesia. The song was part of Schulz' 15-track album "Sugar", that was released in August 2015.[5]
The duo produced remixes for Avicii, Sigala, Sigma, Axwell & Ingrosso, Deepend and Sam Feldt.[6][7]
Alongside Axwell and Ingrosso they played at the Refune Label Night in Ibiza in August 2016. And they’re still on their road to success: In October 2016 they reached gold status in Sweden for their single „Somewhere New“ (with Klingande).
