Is the new Deltron album finished?
We are missing two real small bits, but other than that, yes.

How does it differ from the first one?
It’s better. It’s a push forwards. The sounds grew, but a lot of the same people are on the record. I’m really excited about it, actually. Deltron’s kind of a labor of love, because it’s not going for that number one spot. It’s about making a really cool record and I think we’ve gotten there.

Can you reveal the guest artists on the new album?
I can but it just takes away all the fun, doesn’t it? You know, I think I’m not going to …but I think people will be pleasantly surprised.

As far at the Deltron story goes, does the new Deltron album pick up from where the first one left off?
Deltron essentially starts in the year 3030, and this one picks up about ten years later. Politically speaking, there’s certain parallels between what goes on in today’s society and what goes on there — it’s a little bit of a mirror. The world is a little different there but it’s going through a similar time with similar issues.

What’s the status of the second Deltron album? Is it finished?
Yeah, it’s finished.

Can you give us a preview of what it sounds like?
I don’t want to say too much because people’s expectations are already unobtainable, so I’ll say expect what you’re not gonna expect. They’re probably expecting the world and they’re not gonna get that. One thing I’ll say is it’s not too much of a deviation from the first one, but I will say I put way more information and way more substance into this one. With the first one, we was kinda playing around, it like more of a hobby to me, and I didn’t really expect it to go as far as it did. But this time, now that people are paying attention, I didn’t want to play around so I thought let me add a little more substance. So I worked a little more harder on the lyrical side. And I know Dan went a little harder on the production, like adding little intricate things and subtle touches to the music. I might be telling about one subject and [the music will] go up a little. After you listen to it for a while, it’s sort of subliminal, but those little touches separate it from the pack.

Does the story follow on from the first Deltron album?
Sort of. It’s sort of like a cyber-punk, sci-fi vibe — there’s that type of undercurrent to it. But the story itself is different from the first one, if the first one even had a story really. This one’s more about, okay, everybody’s destroyed everything, they went too far, they shouldn’t have went that far. So society is not really controlled by the government — it’s controlled by whatever thugs are in that area. It’s pretty much chaos and everyone is going for whatever they know. I run around with a band of like merry pranksters and we’re just trying to survive but we’re kinda on the good side, too: If we see somebody messing around with someone we might try to help them. That’s pretty much how we spend our days. That’s a general overview of what’s happening.

Can you tell us any of the special guests featured on it?
You’ll have to ask Dan about that ’cause once I do my lyrics I got other stuff to do! I’m not going to let the cat out the bag.
