Insanely good musician.

The guy has chops and he's tight, but there is something that prevents me from enjoying this. The music is just a bunch of syncopated stuff and after some time it just blends together. No harmonies, no interesting chord progressions. Having said that, I know that Jojo does similar kind of stuff, but his music with Nerve is so much more diverse stylistically, not to mention his drumming on that stuff is much more interesting and advanced in terms of interdependence, grooves, orchestration, etc.

Sorry to rain on his parade, he's obviously very enthusiastic and trying his best, but to me it's just all the same. I think I've listened to enough electronic and experimental music in my life to be in a position to say this.

I can appreciate the skill/talent that he's developed to play/program a live show and have it be somewhat professional...I personally think this direction in live music is uninteresting though, given that, to me, it's like the whole club is watching a man have a conversation with himself. I'm sure he's happy he doesn't have many other payouts after the gig...But to me, the whole point of a live show is a group of players reacting to what the others are doing. *shrug*
