Deltron 3030 Artist Snapshot:

At the turn of the 2000s, renowned underground hip-hop producer Dan The Automator joined forces with DJ Kid Koala and legendary MC Del Tha Funkee Homosapien for the conceptual outfit Deltron 3030. Inspired as much by Parliament's spacey themes and funky beats as early hip-hop's energy and grit, the trio combined their influences on DELTRON 3030, which spun a futurist narrative about a corporate-run planet. The album was accompanied by an instrumentals set, and soon led the way for the multi-platinum animated alt-rap juggernaut the Gorillaz, which featured all of Deltron's participants. As of 2008, a long-rumored Deltron sequel was still in the works.

Review

Spin (1/01, p.120) - 7 out of 10 - "...As a party record, it romps, with pumping keyboards on 'Positive Contact' and a chorus sample sped up for harpsichord effect on 'Things You Can Do' in which Koala scratches opera singers..."
Alternative Press (3/01, pp.68-9) - 4 out of 5 - "...Nakumara turns in creepy, futuristic and bizarre beats for this concept album about fantastic, backwards human civilization in the year 3030...crowded with guest appearances..."
Magnet (p.82) - "[It was] Nakamura's most consistent creation as beatmaker and puppet master....Endlessly entertaining..."
The Wire (10/00, p.86) - "...A planet where rhymes are pecked into trees by gnawed off golf pencils between clenched teeth..."
CMJ (10/16/00, p.28) - "...[Its] slick and styled funk proves [Automator's] light years ahead of his peers..."
Melody Maker (11/14/00, p.52) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...This is dark, jagged alt-rock hip-hop....a splintered, inspired soundtrack to confusing times..."
NME (Magazine) (10/21/00, p.44) - 8 out of 10 - "...A space opera....the most purely enjoyable hip-hop album of 2000....It's a crazed sci-fi journey to Planet B.S., that takes myriad detours around the galaxy....utterly mesmerizing..."

Title Note

Deltron 3030: Del The Funky Homosapien, Dan The Automator, Kid Koala.

Additional personnel: Sean Lennon, Damon Alban, El-P, MC Paul Barman, Mark Bell, Beans.

Arguably the most innovative and engaging indie hip-hop record of its era, DELTRON 3030 is like BLADE RUNNER set to beats. The core trio of Dan the Automator, Del the Funky Homosapien, and Kid Koala were the architects of an LP whose leading concept was as dense as its music was retro-futuristically engaging. DELTRON is a thesis in old-school hip-hop storytelling/beat manufacturing, cross-referenced with an intellectual sense of humor about the genre's future and a correspondingly ominous soundtrack provided by Automator.
