English dubstep destroyer Flux Pavilion has earned a reputation for high-energy shows and hard-hitting dance music, each plenty evident in the clip above for “In the Beginning,” the first of four episodes in a series documenting his current Freeway tour. What you might not have already known, however, is that the man born Joshua Steele has a helluva sense of humor. Accompanied by tour mates Brown + Gammon and Cookie Monsta, he demonstrates an incredible knack for improvising fake facts and, best of all, leads an ill-fated excursion into Walmart while expertly dressing the part (via “People of…”). Take all of that in above and check out Flux’s upcoming tour dates below. Bonus: The video includes a considerable snippet of an unreleased collaboration with SPIN friend Dillon Francis, set to appear on the forthcoming Freeway EP via Circus/Big Beat.
