Brainbug
Real Name:
Alberto Bertapelle
Profile:
At the end of 1996, a track took everyone by surprise by it's ghastly aspect and it's pizzicato strings. "Nightmare" went on to be an international hit and kickstarted the 'Pizzicato Syndrome'.
Brainbug, a project of Alberto Bertapelle, had another success with "Benedictus", but further singles "The Eighth Dwarf" and "Rain" (with vocals) used the exact same formula and got lost in a sea of similar records: Brooklyn Bounce, Lucid, Max Deejay and even deep house artist Kevin Yost used the 'Pizzicato' sound until it wore thin and obsolete.
A cover of "Nightmare" released in 1997 by Space Shuttle (an alias of Dee Jay Sören), was called "We Have A Problem" and added the famous line 'Houston, we have a problem' in the middle break.

Reviews & Discussion
Well, what can I say??? there is no other artists an the Italo Dance, House, or Techno industry like Brainbug. He has a rare talent for writing the some of the most magnifico (and I mean that) dance mixes in the world. I was really taken aback by him when I first heard him as he is the unique pioneer of what I call "Horrifica Techno." I really love the unique mix of "ghastly" effects and sounds that he enters into his sound. I would really love him to make a comeback here in England so he can mervel and entrance us once again.
