Deftones
Delgado came to the attention of Deftones as a member of the Sacramento-based hip hop group, Socialistik, a frequent opener for Deftones. He appeared as a guest performer on Deftones' first two albums, Adrenaline and Around the Fur, and was formally inaugurated into the group before their third release, White Pony.[citation needed]
His playing rarely features traditional scratching or beat juggling. Instead, he tends to use turntables as samplers to integrate subtle sounds and textures into the music. He prefers to create his own samples, rather than use prerecorded sample banks or borrow sounds from other artists.[citation needed]
Starting with the band's eponymous fourth album, Deftones, Delgado began to put more emphasis on keyboards and synthesizers.[citation needed]
Other activities
Delgado is a member of the disc jockey collective Decibel Devils.[2]
