Australian "rave-pop" group Confidence Man DJs is releasing their third album, 3AM (LA LA LA), a bolder release delving into UK rave sounds of the 90s and 2000s, encompassing trippy acid techno, trance, breakbeat, and big beat. Known for their arch confections and high-octane live shows (like Glastonbury 2022), the quartet—led by Janet Planet and Sugar Bones—call their genre "Bubblegum Warehouse." The album, written during intense late-night sessions in London, follows underground hits with Daniel Avery, DJ Seinfeld, and DJ Boring. 3AM (LA LA LA) features collaborations (like Sweetie Irie) and includes a remix by The KLF's Jimmy Cauty, confirming their role as chaotic disruptors of modern pop and dance music.
