When Dälek’s debut, Negro Necro Nekros arrived in the Fall of 1998,
hip-hop’s aesthetic and commercial conventions were in a state of
upheaval. While mainstream rap had more or less completed the process
of full integration into mainstream pop culture, underground hip-hop had
mounted an aggressive opposition movement in response.
Forged in the fires of the East Coast underground music scene in the 90s,
Experimental Hip Hop pioneers Dälek has spent decades carving out a
unique niche fusing hardcore Hip Hop, noise and a radical approach to
sound. From the very beginning, Dälek came out the gate, following in the
footsteps of their predecessors Public Enemy while drawing from
influences as varied as My Bloody Valentine and German experimentalists
Faust, Dälek have succeeded in adding completely new textural and
structural dimensions to rap music. Since 1998, they’ve released seven
studio albums and countless EPs, singles and collaborations.
