Cloonee Reworks Groove Theory Classic, ‘One Question’

Following the intensity of his previous label outing ‘XTC,’ Cloonee taps into Groove Theory’s standout 1995 debut, ‘One Question,’ flipping it into a sharp cut built for dancefloors three decades later.

Rising through the late 2010s with a steady stream of club-ready releases, the UK-born, Los Angeles-based DJ and producer Cloonee has become one of the most consistent forces in contemporary house music. Known for his stripped-back, groove-led productions, Cloonee’s sound sits at the intersection of tech house and rolling minimal grooves, with a sharp sense of what works on the dancefloor.

Beyond releases, he’s also the founder of Hellbent Records, a label that reflects his forward-facing club sound and serves as a platform for both his own music and a new wave of dancefloor-focused artists. The record label is now releasing his latest tune, which keeps Cloonee’s relentless 2026 releases running in motion with ‘One Question.’ The single arrives off the back of his chart-topping collaboration ‘Free Your Mind’ alongside Prospa on Circoloco Records. The collaboration has rapidly cemented itself as one of the year’s defining club cuts after hitting #1 on Beatport, earning BBC Radio 1’s coveted Hottest Record In The World title, and breaking into the UK Top 40. ‘One Question’ continues that purple patch, which sees the LA-based Brit operating firmly at the forefront of global house music.

Following the intensity of his previous label outing, ‘XTC,’ ‘One Question’ marks a lane Cloonee has made his own by reworking Groove Theory’s standout 1995 debut into a fresh, functional dancefloor anthem. Here, bumping drums and an infectious topline underpin a hook that feels both nostalgic and re-energized, striking that balance between recognition and reinvention.

A constant presence in his sets, ‘One Question’ has quickly become one of the label head honcho’s biggest unreleased productions, a track that shifts the energy of a room instantly. With momentum at an all-time high and with Hellbent continuing to serve as the home for his most forward-facing releases, ‘One Question’ adds yet another big moment to his 2026 schedule, delivering another perfect example of his instinct for crafting records into something entirely his own.
