Oh, Boiler Room. Never before have so many people gently elbowed their way into the purview of a fixed camera with the intention of nonchalantly swaying their way to streaming screen-time glory. The organization has been one of the dominant tastemakers in the electronic music world for the past few years, as everyone from Carl Cox to Disclosure have graced the decks of whatever dingy warehouse the crew have finagled for that weekend.
Deep in the archives, though, are some of the most bizarre and confusing performances we’ve ever witnessed. Here are some of the best. worst? weirdest? We don’t even know anymore…

Special Mention: Has to go to Grimes for her pseudo-troll of Richie Hawtin’s Ibiza pool party. The impish ‘lil Canadian (is there a possible DIVA relation here?) dropped Vengaboys’ “We Like To Party” in addition to Mariah Carey’s “All I want for Christmas is You” and Daddy Yankee’s “Gasolina” to a bunch of confused looking bikini clad Spanish babes. This performance was apparently so offensive to the Boiler Room brass that there is no trace of it on the internet.
