In this oral history – excerpted from their recent interview on RBMA Radio – the trio remember the genesis of the group, the recording of the debut album, and reveal a few unexpected fans of the Deltron sound. Dan The Automator’s knack for cinematic soundscapes and narratives arches provided the perfect basis for Del’s graphic style of rhyming and Kid Koala’s turntable chaos, all of which triumphantly returned with 2013’s epic Event II. The band’s debut album Deltron 3030 is a bonafide milestone of the alternative rap spectrum, taking the afro-futuristic trajectory from Sun Ra to Rammellzee and transformed it into one dystopian rap opera circling around the story of Del Zero’s guerilla war against the governance of future multinational corporations. Comprised of turntable whiz Kid Koala, Hiero overlord Del Tha Funkee Homosapien on the mic, and Dan The Automator on the beat, Deltron 3030 can rightfully be regarded as a gathering of some of underground rap’s most creative minds. The story of interstellar, Cali-Canadian supergroup Deltron 3030 started just in time for the millennial paranoia in 2000 – or, in the year 3030, that is.
