Cloonee has a full-length answer to the question in his debut album's title. Are You Still You?, released on October 6, 2026, brings 16 tracks to Good Music For Bad People and Hellbent Records, according to Beatportal's release coverage. With Miami Art Week approaching, it offers a way into the producer's current world before his December appearance on Watson Island.

The record is already out, rather than an announcement waiting for a release date. That distinction matters in a season crowded with previews. Beatportal's August announcement named the October release and both labels; its October report confirms the arrival. The project makes room for Chris Lake, Prospa, Chris Lorenzo, Joseph Capriati, SOSA and Ranger Trucco among its collaborators.

An album with more than one entrance

The guest list gives listeners several starting points. Prospa's involvement connects the record to “Good Girl,” while Chris Lake joins Cloonee on “Paradise.” Beatportal also identifies solo tracks “Why Does Your Love Hurt So Much?” and “Menealo,” alongside “Movimiento” and the Harvey Whyte interlude “Kill The Noise.”

EDM.com's release report describes an opening disco inflection on “Catch Me in Amsterdam,” featuring Sirolf, and an Aliyah's Interlude appearance on “Paradise.” Its account also places Franky Rizardo on “Get Up and Dance.” Taken together, those pairings point to an album designed around different combinations of voices and producers, rather than a single collaboration stretched across a campaign.

That is a useful listening map, not a claim about how a future DJ set will sound. A studio album and an open-air back-to-back serve different purposes. The attraction here lies in hearing how Cloonee frames his own identity over a longer format before watching him share the decks with another act.

The Miami date to know

The unKommon Art Week ticket collection lists Adriatique B2B Cloonee on Saturday, December 5, at Watson Island Park, presented by Framework and unKommon Events. That is a confirmed booking, not an announced album tour or a promise of a particular tracklist.

For readers planning December around music as well as the fair, the distinction makes the evening more interesting. The album offers the solo statement. The Watson Island billing offers a shared one. Neither requires predicting an unreleased set or treating a festival appearance as an album performance.

The Global Guest List's Miami Art Week party guide places that booking alongside the week's other announced nights. Lineups and entry conditions can change, so the promoter's current ticket listing remains the final check before making plans.
