Brooklyn-based Producer BADAWI has been on the bass scene in New York for well over a decade. Often cited as one of the sources for the illbient music scene of the late 90s, Raz Mesinai has in fact gone far beyond the narrow confines of that scene and is today one of the most unsung but respected producers in US bass music. Not to be pigeonholed he has also been a fixture on the downtown improv scene playing with artists like John Zorn, Elliott Sharp and others. He is also a visual artist. His live set at Unsound Krakow in October was cited by many as a festival highlight so expect the same at Unsound Festival New York.
