Ravin is best known for his contributions to the celebrated Buddha Bar series on Wagram and George V records.

He became resident DJ at the The Rex club in Paris, and won the attention of influential figures such as Laurent Meyer (of 'Le Boy'), who helped him further his career by setting him up with a gig at one of the then hugely popular and infamous Wiz Bombino parties. It was here that he met Claude Challe, lounge/world music guru and owner of Les Bains Douches, one of the most influential Parisian night spots in the 80's. Together, they collaborated on records such as Loverdose, The Flying Carpet and Nirvana Lounge before taking up residence in the restaurant and nightclub called 'Buddha Bar' in 1997. In no small part due to his Indian roots, Ravin immediately felt at home in this cosmopolitan yet decidedly Eastern-flavored establishment. Four years of DJing and learning from his mentor Challe, Ravin was ready to make his own mark in the world of lounge music.
