Jojo Mayer has performed and / or recorded with a great variety of artists covering a wide range of musical styles such as The Screaming Headless Torsos, Meshell n’dege Occello, Vernon Reid’s science project, DJ Spooky, the Vienna Art Orchestra, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Harry Pepl, Gerald Veasley, Lunar Crush, John Zorn, Chico Freeman, George Adams John Medeski, Hiram Bullock, Leni Stern, Depart, Wolfgang Puschnigg, Friedrich Gulda, Harry Sokal, Steve Coleman’s 5 Elements, Passport, Wah Wah Watson, and many more.
More recently, Jojo has been venturing into New York’s Techno / Multimedia / Avantgarde / club scene by promoting his own weekly party event called PROHIBITED BEATZ. This new platform for live “Drum n” Bass”, “Nu-Skool Breaks”, “Speed Garage” and the latest stylistical hybrids and mutations in DJ culture, has also provided the back drop for his first solo project called NERVE. Described as an “endeavor in reverse engineering the textures and rhythms of the current stream of computer generated music into a live performed, improvisational format”, NERVE and PROHIBITED BEATZ have created a reputation in the New York scene that already goes way beyond “a serious buzz”.
