The Index is a project by two of New York City s underground music pioneers, Raz Mesinai aka Badawi and Dub War founder Dave Q. The label centers on original Badawi productions at the intersection of dub and modern composition, as well as new works and remixes by some of the most forward-thinking artists at the outer limits of dubstep and experimental electronica. The first release was 2010 s head-melting El Topo / Dstry All Pfrfts team-up with Shackleton, and this second entry finds Badawi reviving New York s dystopian hip hop lineage via a collaboration with the legendary MC Sensational of Jungle Brothers and Wordsound fame. No Schnitzel is a militant, mind-bending half-step rhythm that Sensational weaves in and out of, creating a new form of dubstep-hip hop hybrid with a unique Bad Apple flavor. The dubbed-out Version strips it down to the instrumental roots, while flipside More Schnitzel goes deeper into abstracted acid dubstep for the more adventurous soundsystem selectors.
