  "account": "Cloonee, the renowned DJ, designed his debut album, Are You Still You?, to demonstrate that he remains the same person he always was. The album, released on his own label Hellbent Records, consists of 16 tracks crafted in an extra bedroom-turned-studio. While initially not intending to release an album, Cloonee and his team decided to drop it after the success of his hit \"Free Your Mind,\" which has garnered over 208.5 million streams and has been on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for 27 weeks. The album showcases a variety of house music styles, from tech house to Latin house, reflecting the evolution of Cloonee's career since the late 2010s.",
