Maybe you’ve heard of David Elsewhere, maybe you haven’t. You know that corny “Evolution of Dance” video that had the most views on YouTube for the longest time but has now been beaten out for an Avril Lavigne song called “Girlfriend?” I just clicked on the Lavigne video for about five seconds and I only heard the track sampled in a Girl Talk track. That’s it for that one.

Well, we won’t link that lame “Evolution of Dance” video here because–quite frankly–it has gotten enough views. Not only that, you know how sometimes when something or someone can be so wildly overrated it almost makes it worse? Those situations where you can’t see what all the hype is about yet there’s so much hype and it just keeps flowing and flowing, like a raging torrent: God, make it stop! Well, anyway, enough digressing. David Elsewhere was born in 1979 and grew up in Santa Ana, CA. He is the world’s greatest break dancer. We really have no need to prove this to you. All you have to do is watch these clips and if you’re not convinced, it doesn’t matter, because we still think he’s the world’s greatest. Observe:

In this one we love the fact that he chose to break it down to an Autechre track “Eutow,” because we love Autechre too (post on AE forthcoming):

Lastly, David Elsewhere has so much acclaim for his dancing Apple Computer actually hired him to be in one of their iPod commercials (although the Daft Punk track in the commercial is kind of beat):
