Cloonee — November 2026

David Bissett, performing as Cloonee, is a DJ and producer from Bewdley in England's West Midlands who relocated to Los Angeles following an invitation from Chris Lake — the Black Book Records founder and tech house architect whose curatorial instincts have shaped a generation of British producers making careers in the American market. Born September 17, 1995, Bissett adopted the Cloonee alias in reference to Cloone Lake in Ireland, a location he visited frequently with his grandfather and one that carries personal significance beyond the stage persona. He began sharing music on SoundCloud in 2014, building an early catalog influenced by the certified jacking scene around Ill Phil and the emerging tech house output of Patrick Topping and wAFF — a foundation that grounded his sound in the raw, groove-first tradition of house before the genre developed into its current festival-scale commercial form.

His debut EP on Elrow Music in 2017 established him on the tech house circuit at a moment when the genre was crossing from underground to mainstream, and subsequent releases across respected imprints built his international booking profile. He secured his first Beatport number one with Be Good To Me in early 2019 — a chart position determined by DJ and producer purchasing behavior rather than consumer streaming, making it a particularly meaningful validation of his standing within the professional electronic music community. He founded Hellbent Records as a platform for his own productions while also releasing music on Chris Lake's Black Book Records, whose roster including Miane, Mochakk, and Cloonee himself defines the current direction of British-influenced tech house. His track Stephanie accumulated widespread play and inspired a remix by HNTR that topped Beatport's remix chart and exceeded 50 million Spotify streams — evidence that his productions generate catalog value beyond his own performance cycle.

His 2026 schedule includes LIV Beach Las Vegas alongside festival appearances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Brooklyn Army Terminal, Breakaway Music Festival, Project Glow, Bonnaroo, Parklife Manchester, and Elements Music & Arts Festival — a booking profile that reflects his growth from underground SoundCloud producer to internationally touring artist. At LIV Beach at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Cloonee's tech house sets deliver the grooved, precision-built sound he developed from the British underground — accessible enough to lead a Las Vegas afternoon pool crowd while maintaining the rhythmic sophistication that distinguishes his productions from the commercial mainstream.
