Vs. is popular in electronic music. Basically, it's two guys with big synth setups (and other stuff) improvising together to make one cohesive set. They typically go for an hour or two. Lots of loops, not a lot of lead stuff, lots of vinyl-spinning usually. Ruddess vs. Devine is just Jordan and Richard Devine improvising together. There's a vid floating around, but it's rather short.

Specifically, Jordan and Richard Devine (a reasonably well-known IDM musician and DJ) jammed together at the NAMM show in January, both playing Muse Receptors. The event was sponsored by Muse, and basically Jordan played keyboard improvs over Devine's loops and beats. There's a link to a short, rather poor-quality video clip of the performance on Jordan's Wizard's Log page, but the link is currently broken.

Am sure glad it was not Divine...

And note that they were playing in mono too! One of the two Mackie monitors failed right at the start of the show and they had to go through just one. Then there was a power outage right in the middle of the jam - they started everything up and played on! Was a very cool night...
