British tech-house DJ/producer Cloonee (real name David Bissett) has been on a meteoric ascent in the global electronic music scene. Between delivering chart-topping hits, expanding his Hellbent imprint, and intertwining his sets with cultural awareness, he’s carving out a strong identity. Here’s what’s new and why it matters.
🎤 Performance Highlights & Tour Moves
- In September 2025, Cloonee is set to perform at several high-profile shows in the U.S., including Cal Poly’s Spanos Stadium (with Dombresky and Mindchatter), followed by appearances at major festivals and venues across Las Vegas, San Diego, Ibiza (at Elrow UNVRS), Barcelona, and more.

🤝 Social Activism & Community Engagement
- Cloonee paused two Los Angeles shows amid ICE raids and immigrant rights protests. He openly expressed solidarity with Latino communities affected by enforcement actions, stating that he could not “throw a party while the Latino people who have supported me … are hurting so badly.” Tickets for the postponed shows were held valid for new dates, with refunds available for those unable to attend.

- This move underscores a growing trend in the electronic music world: artists making statements and adjusting their tours based on social, cultural, or ethical concerns. Cloonee’s decision was widely praised for taking a stance that resonated with many of his fans. Your EDM+1
🎧 Artistic Style & Studio Philosophy
- Cloonee has spoken about using vocals and sampling heavily in his tracks. Despite not having formal training in melody or instruments, he crafts hooks and grooves by ear. This minimalist, instinct-based approach helps his songs feel raw and authentic. beatportal.com
- “Stephanie”, one of his biggest successes, shows off his signature style: catchy vocal samples, minimal heavy layering, strong grooves, and an emphasis on crowd-reaction rather than overproduction. beatportal.com
- His exposure to Latin music after moving to Los Angeles has influenced his sound, adding reggaeton, urbano, and Latin rhythms into certain tracks. This cultural exchange has not only diversified his catalog but also expanded his audience in Latin America and among Latinx communities in the U.S. Miami New Times+1
🔮 What’s Coming Up
