NERVE evolved out of Jojo Mayer’s legendary party event Prohibited Beatz in NYC in the late 90’s. Initially it was a collective platform for experimental interaction between Dj’s, Visual artist, musicians and the audience, which lead them to perform and improvise electronic music into real time. The band assimilated a wide spectrum of electronic style from old school jungle, Dub
Step and Glitch beats to minimal and tech house and anything that could escape the confines of genre, the improvisation of music lead them to bring Jazz traditional into the new digital age of music.NERVE re-examines and transcends the relationship between human creativity and digital
technology and has created a new form of musical expression which is completely unique in the
world today. The aim is authentic 21st century music.NERVE sounds like electronic music, but its not. It doesn’t sound like jazz or rock but it is.
