Artist Biography

Cloonee—born David Bissett in England—is a tech-house producer and DJ whose rapid ascent from underground UK club circuits to global festival stages reflects a disciplined, groove-first approach to electronic music rooted in rhythm, restraint, and dancefloor functionality. Emerging in the mid-2010s after self-teaching production through platforms like FL Studio and Ableton, Bissett developed a signature sound built on rolling basslines, punchy percussion, and tightly looped vocal samples—elements that prioritize momentum and crowd response over maximalist production. His breakthrough came with releases like “Be Good to Me,” which topped Beatport’s Tech House chart, followed by a steady stream of club-focused records on influential labels including Elrow, Repopulate Mars, and Black Book Records, earning support from tastemakers such as Chris Lake and Fisher. Now based in Los Angeles, Cloonee has expanded his reach through international touring and the development of his Hellbent brand, translating his studio precision into high-energy DJ sets that emphasize seamless transitions, low-end power, and sustained rhythmic drive. Technically defined by minimal yet effective arrangement, groove-centric sequencing, and a focus on functional club dynamics, his work exemplifies the modern tech-house ethos—music engineered not just to be heard, but to be physically experienced in motion.
