"Language Computer's essence lies in the integration of the turntable and scratches as self-sufficient instruments. It introduces a new sound marked by both experimental HipHop and electronic sonorities. Instead of being just another demonstration of technique, which is often the case in turntablist projects, here the performance has been researched in order to leave room for a certain sonic aesthetic to blend into the whole and form a unified sound. The results are technically beyond reproach, but much more subtle in content and form. Language Computer consists of two members: John Bloug takes care of all compositional aspects, while Detect handles the turntables for the scratched episodes and sonic add-ons. Influences are plural and widely spread. The paths of experimental HipHop artists the likes of Anticon, Mush, Def Jux, Project Blowed or Living Legends crisscross with the catalogs of Warp (mostly Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, and Autechre), Tigerbeat6, or Rephlex, or even with artists such as Console, Murcof, Plaid, and Squarepusher."
