Brain Damage, a prolific entity in the world of dub music, is the creative moniker of French musician and producer Martin Nathan. Since embarking on his auditory journey in the late 1990s in Saint-Étienne, Nathan has been a seminal figure in the European dub scene, known for his eclectic fusion of traditional dub techniques with electronic music elements and a variety of world music influences. Through his career, Brain Damage has carved out a niche for sophisticated arrangements and thought-provoking soundscapes, often collaborating with a diverse array of artists across genres and borders.

Over the years, Brain Damage has continued to push the envelope of the dub genre, as reflected in his impressive discography. His more recent works, like "Dreaming From An Iron Gate" and "Deaf Ears," showcase his penchant for atmospheric sounds blended with poignant lyrical content, touching upon themes of social commentary and introspection. With an eye always toward innovation, Brain Damage's albums such as "Combat Dub 4 - Revisited" and "Liberation Time" have received acclaim for their experimental approach and the seamless integration of different musical traditions. Not only a studio wizard, Brain Damage is equally known for his intense live performances, where he transforms the stage into a hypnotic experience of sound and rhythm.
