From the moment they entered the DJ profession, they agreed to do something serious with their common passion: house music. Quickly after their first gig together Sunnery and Ryan established themselves as top DJs.
Besides performing, they are very busy with producing. Even that is something they do together. As if they don’t see enough of one another during gigs and their private lives, they’re also studio buddies. In May 2008 they released their first track ‘Pina. One month later, Sunnery and Ryan released the club hit ‘Lift U Up’, featuring Melvin Reese and Chappell. After these successful productions, Sunnery & Ryan continued with tracks such as ‘The Desert’, which has been released on D.O.N.S.’s Kingdome Cuts, and several remixes such as Sander Kleinenberg’s ‘This Is Our Night’ and Kaskade’s ‘Dynasty’.
In February 2010, Sunnery and Ryan launched their very own ‘Amazone Project’ event in Heineken Music Hall Amsterdam. 5500 fans came to join the SJ-RM-hype and witnessed an exclusive 5-hour-set. The Amazone Project compilation album entered #2 in the charts. Amazone Project also hosted areas at the Dirty Dutch Indoor event (30.000 visitors) and the Dirty Dutch VS The World Festival.
The SJ-RM journey continuous in 2010, where Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano will make their debut at the prestigious Sensation event in Amsterdam Arena on July 3rd. Sunnery and Ryan will also join the Swedish House Mafia club nights at Pacha Ibiza during the summer season.

The lyrics to Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano's song Yeke Yeke are in a West African language called Bambara. The phrase "bi sounkouroun lou la donkégna" is a traditional refrain in Bambara music that means "the monkey climbed up the tree." The rest of the lyrics are also in Bambara and describe the sound of drums and other percussion instruments. The music is intended to be a celebration of life and music.
The refrain "yé ké yé ké nimo" is an onomatopoeic vocalization of the percussion instruments, representing the rhythm and energy of the music. It is a repeating phrase throughout the song, emphasizing the beat and creating a hypnotic effect. The lyrics are minimalistic, which allows the listener to focus on the upbeat and mesmerizing rhythms.
Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano's track Yeke Yeke is a tribute to the African musician Mory Kanté's original hit single "Yéké Yéké" that was released in 1987 and went on to become a worldwide hit. The track combines the unique rhythms of African music with electronic beats and synths, creating a fusion of traditional and modern culture. The song is known for its infectious beats and energetic style that have made it a dancefloor favorite.
