That's when he performs as Radio Boy. I seen him do roughly the smae thing at Sonar last year, using coke cans, big macs, TVs, gap bags and other assorted things, as sort of an anti-capatilism protest. It was really good, even if I did almost fall asleep during it. You can get a copy of the music he uses for free, details on his website.
