Sarin's notable works include his collaboration titled "Anoni" with Israeli DJ Yahel and remix of "Suraj Hua Madham" which appears on Klub K3G, an album of remixes of music from the soundtrack of famous Indian movie "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham"; the song also appears on the soundtrack of Karan Johar's 2005 film "Kaal". His self-released tracks have also received airplay on BBC Radio 1's Alternative Asia and the BBC Asian Network.

Now making his debut on the Black Hole imprint, Akshai presents his club/house aimed new singles “Dirty Money” and “Your Voice Is My Mind”.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Black Hole recordings is always at the forefront of EDM with many big success stories under its belt.  Now its time to get introduced to a new Indian talent called Akshai who delivers for this first EP a very strong EP with two deep progressive tracks that can be house or trance. Firstly the more sweet and lovely is Your Voice Is My Mind. Its a blissful deep and haunting progressive trancer with great female vocals that take you certainly for a mindtrip. Its one of those tunes that can set the atmosphere just right and upon it to build track by track your strong performance. On the other hand Dirty Money is more experimental progressive track with male spoken vocal on the way that Green Velvet is doing and tell us a story about the experience of non stop clubbing for hours. Its not a usual track but certainly has a cinematic feel to it with Bollywood influences as well. Check it!
