Bratt Sinclaire and Techno-Hypertechno
 
As many fans already know, in the 80's Bratt Sinclaire used to be a talented heavy/rock guitar player and this greatly influenced his way to compose and produce dance music, especially Techno.
Other than that, Bratt used to be one of the producers of Alberto Contini's heavy metal band called "Bulldozer" since 1989, even before the first deal with Avex was signed.

In 1992, when the A.Beat.C.'s Eurobeat productions quality was established, Contini wanted to re-challenge the market by taking a "new" musical step. The idea was creating a mix of classic "Techno" (by early 90's) and "Heavy metal" which was actually to be performed by real musicians and rappers. In order for this project to take place Contini wanted three main talents to be with him:
 
  Andy Panigada ( Bulldozer's guitarist and composer )
  Bratt Sinclaire (Andrea Leonardi) ( the wildest among A.Beat.C.'s producers and formerly the most "recent" Bulldozer's producer )
  Fausto Vargas Guio (Dr.Dope). ( a.k.a. "Butch Battle-axe", great rapper from Brooklin-NY-U.S.A. )

Contini asked them to be involved with this experiment by spending some of their free time and days-off even if no "business results" were guaranteed.
They accepted and in a few days a brand new track named "Dance got sick" by Bulldozer/Dr.Dope was ready in four different versions all co-produced and mixed by Bratt Sinclaire.
The very last version of that record (Tech-core Rap Sickness) was unexpectedly the actual start of a new kind of Techno-music especially in Japan where Avex released this new production by the time. Infact, John Robinson ( probably the most popular D.J. ever in that country ) loved that new sound and often played the track at "Giuliana's Tokyo" which was the most trendy disco in Japan at that time.
By the great audience's reaction Avex asked Contini + Dave Rodgers and Sinclaire + Panigada to keep on producing this new Techno/style made of Techno synths, real Heavy metal guitars (truly performed by Sinclaire himself) and extremely hard-fast rappings. (by the gorgeous Fausto Guio)

And they did.
Under the supervision of Contini (as "D.J. Sick" ) A.Beat.C label started producing many Techno tracks and Sinclaire and composer/programmer Andy Panigada started focusing on that brand new Techno/style named "Hypertechno".
Sinclaire's fans didn't need to wait too long to see great successes coming up in the Techno music field other than Eurobeat's.
In 1993/94 Sinclare's Techno tunes (listed below) got Japanese dance-floors extremely hot:
 
  "Noise maker" by "M.M.M."
  "Show no mercy" by "Black metal featuring Lady Lust"
  "Over the top" by "M.M.M. & Dr.Dope"
  "High voltage" by "M.M.M." by "M.M.M. featuring Lady Lust"
 
The top was reached as the smashing hit called F.A.Y. by M.M.M. ( written and composed by Sinclaire alone ) became the most danced track in Japan and ranked N°1 for two consecutive months on disco-charts of the dance-music magazine named "Beat Freak".

In late 1995 Bratt Sinclaire made his move and co-founded Delta records. Nothing actually changed in regard of his involvement into Techno market. Avex, infact, did put Sinclaire in charge of all Hypertechno productions of the label. Panigada and Guio then also made their choice and decided to follow Bratt and both moved to Delta as well.

Delta, along with Rodgers-Contini label, became the main supplier for Avex's Hypertechno and the hyper-trio Panigada-Leonardi(Sinclaire)-Guio just confirmed to be the real lethal weapon of this gender of music.

Avex's Hypertechno compilation-series called "Hypertechno mission" and"We love TechPara" went increasing sales and many of Sinclaire's Hypertechno tracks became classic-hits like:
 
  "Electro Violence" by "Independence days"
  "Ave ave" by "The prophet"
  "Tempo" by "The prophet"
  "Crazy train" by "The prophet"
  "Hypertechno mission" by "Mission one"
  "Made in New York" by "Techno mob"

  "Face-off" by "Techno mob"
  "Higher Forces" by "Mission one"
  "Black leather" by "The prophet"
  "Hard body baby" by "Maximum factor"
 
Supported by Avex's full trust and fans very hot reaction, Bratt recently also started walking to a new Hypertechno frontier. He composed and produced a brand new-style of Hypertechno which was hard-rapped by female-fast-rappers. That probably represents an absolute "new entry" in Techno-music's international panorama.
Tunes like "Like a fire" or "Hypertechno Venus" are very much appreciated by Hypertechno fans and Para Para lovers all over Japan.
