In Photos: Legendary Hip-Hop Trio Deltron 3030 Take Over the Regency Ballroom
Deltron 3030, the longtime hip-hop trio composed of producer Dan the Automator (Dan Nakamura), rapper Del the Funky Homosapien (Teren Delvon Jones) and DJ Kid Koala (Eric Yick Keung San) stopped by the Regency Ballroom on July 24 to play their legendary self-titled debut album in full. Lealani kicked off the night with an opening set accompanied by DJ Kid Koala.
A space-opera set in the dystopian future year of 3030, the album imagines the title character (Deltron Zero) rebelling against an oppressive society controlled by rich corporate interests and machine learning overlords (okay, so maybe these guys were just 1000 years early on their predictions.) As Nakamura grew up in San Francisco and Jones in Oakland, this was a hometown show of sorts for the group.
Broken Dreams Club photographer Aaron Levy-Wolins was on hand to chronicle the spectacle. A gallery of photos is below, all credited to Levy-Wolins.
