Secure your spot now
Nobody expected El Paso to get a night like this. And that is exactly what makes it the most exciting thing happening in the American Southwest this Saturday.
On June 6, Cloonee brings Hellbent to El Paso for J and K Detour Vol. 3 at the War Eagles Air Museum in Santa Teresa, and he is not coming alone. Green Velvet, Devault, and Dave Us are joining him for a night inside one of the most unique event spaces in the country. An air museum. Full of aircraft. With Cloonee and Green Velvet on the same bill. If you are within driving distance of El Paso this weekend and you are not going, that's your own fault.
Who Cloonee Is
Since bursting onto the scene in 2019 with breakout releases like The Ciggie and his first Beatport number one Be Good To Me, UK-born, LA-based DJ and producer Cloonee has carved out his place among the upper echelon of global tech house. From early support on imprints like Solid Grooves Raw to becoming a regular on Chris Lake's Black Book Records, Cloonee's rise has been nothing short of meteoric.
Born David Bissett in Sheffield on September 17 1995, he began DJing in 2014 as a teenager, performin in local clubs in his hometown before relocating to Los Angeles in 2021. That Sheffield to LA journey is one of the great underground-to-global stories in modern tech house and it's still moving fast.
And tonight at midnight, I Rhyme Quick officially drops. The track has already been a fixture in Cloonee's sets, first played at EDC Orlando in November 2025 and then featured in his Apple Music NYE 2026 mix as the opening record. It has been one of the most-asked about IDs in his sets for months.
He dropped it at EDC Las Vegas Camp just two weeks ago alongside Josh Baker, PROSPA, and Chloé Caillet, where it was one of the most Shazamed records of the entire set. Tonight it officially belongs to everyone. The timing of the El Paso show on the same day as the release is not a coincidence. This is Cloonee arriving in your city on the night his new track drops and playing it live in front of you. That doesn't happen often.
The 2026 schedule around this El Paso date is as stacked as it has ever been. Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, Brooklyn Army Terminal Pier 4 in New York, Bonnaroo, Parklife Festival in Manchester, Elements Music and Arts Festival in Pennsylvania, Project Glow in Washington DC, and Breakaway Music Festival are all confirmed. El Paso sits inside one of the most ambitious touring years of his career and tonight the city gets the full Hellbent experience with a brand new record dropping at midnight and Green Velvet on the same bill.
Hellbent Records: The Label That Defines The Night
The name of the event is not an accident. Hellbent Records is home to good music for bad people according to Cloonee. The label was launched to shine a light on up-and-coming artists in the scene who may not be getting the exposure they deserve, as well as to release some of his highly-requested unreleased work. Cloonee has made it clear that if listeners are looking for chart appeal, this isn't the label for them. Hellbent is a passion project. He intends to strictly sign records he would play in his own sets or want to hear in the club.
That philosophy runs through every Hellbent event. This is not a show built around streaming numbers or social media metrics. It's a show built around what works in a room at midnight with the volume up and nowhere else to be. An air museum in El Paso at midnight is exactly the right room for that philosophy.
The Special Guests
This is where the night goes from great to extraordinary.
Green Velvet is one of the most iconic and beloved figures in the history of house music. Curtis Alan Jones has been making records since the early nineties, with a catalog that includes some of the most recognisable tracks in the genre's history. La La Land. Bigger Than Prince. Flash. The man is a living legend and getting him on the same bill as Cloonee inside an air museum in El Paso is sthe kind of booking that makes you question whether the promoters are operating in full contact with reality. They are. And it's extraordinary.
Cloonee's sets typically blend tech house, rolling basslines, and playful vocal chops, creating a nonstop party atmosphere designed for club systems and massive festival stages. Green Velvet brings fifty years of house music DNA to the same dancefloor. The contrast between those two worlds is exactly what makes this lineup so compelling. Old school and new school. Chicago and Sheffield. Two completely different entry points into the same genre sharing the same night in a room full of vintage aircraft.
Devault and Dave Us complete the bill as local support, two names that know exactly how to warm up and hold down a room of this nature.
J and K Detour has been building a reputation for bringing serious talent to El Paso through events that punch well above what anyone expects from the local circuit. Vol. 3 is the biggest statement they have made yet.
The Venue
The War Eagles Air Museum in Santa Teresa is one of the most genuinely unique event spaces in the entire Southwest. A working museum filled with vintage and military aircraft, it becomes something entirely different when the lights go down and the sound system goes in. There is nowhere in El Paos that looks like this and there is no other Hellbent event happening inside a building like this. The setting is as much a part of the night as the lineup.
Tickets are moving fast at jandkdetour.com. Saturday June 6, War Eagles Air Museum, Santa Teresa, El Paos. Cloonee said hell paso and meant every word of it.
