As for: "It's more DJ set or Performers own material" well Ricardo was creating
drums and just strange noises and triggering them by hand, and Richie was
sampling records and playing with those, much like most musicians do these days
with samples.
So were they live or DJ'ing?

After the weekend in London for the Richie/Ricardo spectacle I have a
question:
What exactly does "live" mean?
Can the word "live" be replaced by "Playing their own music"?
I ask because during the course of the show there were moments when
Richie would put on a record, grab a loop from the record and let that
play while Ricardo programmed live beats or just plain strange bloobly
noises and then Richie would go to work doing things with effects and
the foot controller or even just noodling about with Abelton LIVE...
For large stretches of time not a record was playing. Is that any
more or less live than somebody playing a "live" set from Abelton?
It's really unfortunate that Fabric sequesters the DJs because to
watch them performing would be a lot of fun for the crowd I think.
