Yeah, I'm fairly sure he did use some live drums, and there is definitely some acoustic guitar work on there as well. The previous Bitcrush album is more electronic.
As for Gridlock, YES! You must check them out! I prefer 'Trace' myself, I think it's their best effort. Lots of intricate percussion, really beautiful synth work, they could put out an ambient album of their synth work I think and it would be awesome. Their most recent (and last apparently) effort 'Formless' is similar to 'Trace', but with a harder edge to it. A bit more noise I guess, still a fantastic album. If you are into a bit more of the 'industrial' side of things, you might enjoy 'Further', their 'break out' album so to speak. Lots of heavily distorted percussion, again coupled with Gridlock's trademark synth work.
I like all 3 of these a lot, but check out clips on their site and see for yourself.
