ABOUT

Aussie party-starters Confidence Man teamed up with The KLF’s Jimmy Cauty and his TowerBlock1 studio for an immersive, audiovisual experience called the Emergency Chill Clinic (ECC). The in-person film screening was hosted in West London.

The Emergency Chill Clinic (ECC) is a recovery experience for post-rave-goers in need of decompression. Set in a hospital-inspired environment, the event incorporates film, sound, and sensory care to recalibrate overstimulated minds and bodies. The centrepiece of the experience is the Emergency Chill Clinic Film by TowerBlock1, a hyper-stimulating ambient visual journey paired with a reimagined soundtrack of Confidence Man’s 3AM (LA LA LA), also remixed by TowerBlock1. The film challenges conventional notions of "relaxation" by engaging participants' senses in a dynamic, controlled environment. Controlled Chaos for Cognitive Reset. 

The ECC bridges the frenetic energy of a rave and the serenity of recovery through a unique sensory approach. The accompanying film, a cornerstone of the event, provides a controlled overstimulation experience to balance and ground attendees, offering a transition from the chaotic energy of the night to a meditative state of focus and renewal. Patients will be guided through their ECC experience by ‘Chill Clinicians’, going through health reports, relaxation techniques and diagnostic checks before being tucked into bed to experience the film.

Fans may have noticed Confidence Man’s latest album 3AM (LA LA LA) references the song ‘3am Eternal’ by OG heroes, the British acid house group The KLF (the very same KLF who once pulled off one of the most talked-about stunts in UK music history: burning a million quid). That admiration works both ways: The KLF’s elusive Jimmy Cauty has become a Confidence Man fan and has even worked on a remix of the album’s closing title track, which features in the ECC. The mastermind has given them some solid advice when it comes to taking creative risks. “Jimmy said, Bill [Drummond] and I used to ask ourselves, ‘What would The KLF do?’, and then do it,” says Planet. “He was like, you should do that with Confidence Man.”
