That's exactly what we do. Empty drum machines and no synth
sequences. Guy plays all the keys live and loops them up as he goes,
he doesn't start with any patterns, and I use 3 drum machines all empty
to begin with. The only thing that is any way prepared are some of the
patch banks.
On that Plex session we cut off the first couple of loops of the
recording where we built up those patterns

I'm interested in what you mean "programmed & played live" -- not to
doubt your veracity, but for it to be 100% true you'd have to start
out with all your drum machine patterns empty, no sequences in
sequenced synths, and every set would inevitably start out with some
pretty bare initial drum programming. Listening to the Plex set it
seems like you start out with some material ready to go.
Even Shawn Rudiman -- who is as close to completely live as they come
-- has a bunch of midi loops ready to go in an MMT8...

The main thing I'm working on is 'The Pace', a new live project
that I'm doing with Guy Thackeray (DJ Guy, Non Stop DJs, Global
Fire). This is a fully live act, with everything 100% programmed
and played on the spot, nothing pre-recorded or planned (some more
info pasted below)
