Video – Meet the Demolition Dancer…

Take one Komatsu excavator, stir in some migraine-inducing music and you have a party.

Regular readers might recall that almost a year ago – at the behest of IDE president John Woodward – we compiled a list of demolition-related. In fact, for those of you that use Spotify, you can still listen to the resulting playlist here.

However, times marches on and musical tastes and trends change (though not normally for the better in our humble opinion). And so when we were sent a link to a YouTube video featuring a “demolition dancer”, we were intrigued.

Depending on your age and viewpoint, what follows is either urban street dance set against an industrial landscape and soundscape that speaks to the decay of modern society, or it’s a guy walking a bit funny in front of an excavator accompanied by music that sounds like a hangover. We’ll leave you to decide.
