Several of his World Fusion titles can be found on many Buddha Bar albums and numerous other compilations.

His work blends global instruments and spiritual traditions with the liberal use of Instruments such as Sitar, Tabla, Bansuri, Shakuhaji, Duduk and World Percussion Instruments with electronic soundscapes. His Music draws inspiration from Eastern philosophy, meditation and the rhythms of the natural world, creating immersive soundscapes that evoke peace, introspection, and connection.
