UPFRONTBEATS

Steel City DJ and producer Cloonee returns to Lee Foss’ imprint Repopulate Mars with two signature shuffling house cuts.

Sheffield-based artist Cloonee’s first release on Repopulate Mars, ‘Gospel’, propelled him into the limelight and he’s since released on high profile labels like elrow Music, Solid Grooves and Material, not to mention topping Beatport’s Tech House Chart with ‘Be Good To Me’ on Big Beat Records. The artist has been holding down a residency within his home city and performing at notable venues such as Eden (Ibiza), Cargo (Sydney), and fabric (London). All of which further solidifies his upward trajectory as a prolific producer and DJ with support from Leftwing & Kody, Mat.Joe, Wade and many more.

‘Hands’ features a classic vocal hook and pumps with a low-swung bassline, fizzing hats and crisp saturated claps. ‘Slow It Down’ then shimmies with tight cymbals, an addictive sub groove, snappy snares and light synth stabs, subtlety raising excitement throughout.
