Tracks list

“A musical master and a force to be reckoned with” - Global Rhythm
“He professes a sound and vision unlike any other” - All About Jazz

The prolific, critically acclaimed, and award-winning composer, producer, and
sound artist, Raz Mesinai (aka Badawi, The Ghost Producer), has been
consistently creating genre-bending albums for over thirty years. Starting in
the late 80s, Mesinai began releasing his compositions on cassette under the
pseudonyms Psy Co., Ruff Riddim Productions, Badawi, Sub Dub (with co-producer
John "Dubs" Ward), The Bedouin, X-On, Raz Mesinai and "Ghost Producer" for such
iconic labels as ROIR, Tzadik, Asphodel and others. In the mid '90s, his project
Sub Dub was credited as the inventor of "Illbient" (a subgenre from NYC that
inspired the "Dub Step" scene in the UK over a decade later). Mesinai has
remained however determined to be unclassifiable yet his work can be found in
everything from film scores for Ridley Scott and Daren Aronofsky to music from
Contemporary Classical to Hip Hop, Dancehall, Dub, and Doom Metal.

"Raz Mesinai's music is unique, built on almost chemical combinations of finely
layered, barely tangible, and powerfully evocative elements. The amazing thing
to me is how universal the emotional effect of this approach proves to be" -
Osvaldo Golijov
