M-22 are a British/German duo consisting of Matt James and Frank Sanders. They met each other on the 22nd March, hence their name and began producing records and remixes together, as well as performing across the globe – particularly in Ibiza. Their high-octane house has smashed charts around the world via tracks like ‘First Time’ going platinum and hitting the UK’s Top 20 and over 150 million streams to date. They followed that with ‘After Hours’ and Billboard Dance Chart Top 5, ‘White Lies’. Overall, M-22 have seen over 370 million streams of their music. Matt and Frank have remixed the likes of Avicii, Marshmello, Axwell & Ingrosso and Sam Feldt to Katy Perry, Anne- Marie, Little Mix and Clean Bandit. As their new single, ‘The One’, ft Blair drops on Spinning Records, DMCWord goes back to mine with M-22.
Frank:
Tori Amos – Professional Widow (Armand Van Helden Remix)
Must be one of the first vinyl I bought when I started deejaying around 1996 in Germany.  The groove, bassline and that vocal is the perfect combination. Armand did a perfect remix and he’s is still on top, big respect.
DJ Falcon & Thomas Bangalter – Together
What a record! Two different basslines in one track, not possible? Well it is.

Stardust – Music Sounds Better With You
For me the moment when French House moved from the clubs to radio, a commercial successful record with class and style. It’s something we try to achieve with every M-22 record, which is very hard.
Nalin & Kane – Beachball
Not only an evergreen, but also the inspiration for our current single “The One”. We always felt we wanted to bring that organ bassline back and now it was about time.
The Source – You’ve Got The Love
We’ve been using the acapella for ages in almost every set we play, it’s simply iconic and it never gets old.
Matt:
Faithless – Insomnia
Such an iconic riff that reminds me of why I fell in love with dance music. I could listen to that hook for the entire song – EPICNESS.
Roger Sanchez – Another Chance
Such a tune and I can remember being sat on my sofa as a kid and seeing the music video with the big heart, which made me love the song even more.
Calvin Harris – We Found Love
The master of dance music, Calvin always delivers, and this is one of my all time favourites – add Rihanna on top and it’s just gold.
Fragma – Tocas Miracle
I love riffs and melodies, and this one is top notch, that muted guitar is so nostalgic.
Robin S – Show Me Love
Sounds so typical, but the ultimate bassline that has been used over and over again, but when this hits everyone knows about it and it’s just MASSIVE!
M-22 ‘The One’ ft Blair is out now on Spinning Records.
