I've seen him clear a dancefloor full of hardcore Aphex Twin fans when he really gets going with the sonic warfare stuff! "Ventolin" at festival volume is quite something to behold, though it can only be experienced in full once - because your hearing is never quite the same again afterwards.
@Jnei it was aided by two b-boys busting moves on the dancefloor dressed in fluorescent teddy bear suits, with Richard James' crudely photocopied leering face stapled to their heads. Straight after a commercial dance act. Out with the pretty pretty people, in with the freaks clad in black vinyl.
@Jnei it was loud, but not as loud as Ministry.
