Deltron 3030

Deltron 3030 is an alternative hip-hop collective comprising producer Dan the Automator (as Captain Aptos), rapper Del the Funky Homosapien (as Deltron Zero/Deltron Osiris), and DJ Kid Koala (as Skiznod the Boy Wonder). The group often collaborates with other musicians, adopting various futuristic pseudonyms.

Their self-titled debut album, released on May 23, 2000, is a concept album set in the year 3030. It explores the conflict between fatalism, righteousness, and malevolence through the narrative of a warrior named Deltron-Zero and his ally, the time-traveling cyborg wizard "the Automator." They confront megalithic corporations that dominate their universe. The lyrics, written in under two weeks, are rich with Afrofuturist themes, drawing inspiration from artists like Sun Ra and George Clinton. Many samples on the album were sourced from the French classical composer William Sheller.
