In 1992 Barkmarket supported the Pixies , and in 1993 Sardy played guitar on Frank Black's debut album.

His band Barkmarket achieved a high reputation in critical circles and also achieved some notoriety in Europe. Among other things, the group was on the Belgian Pukkelpop - Festival (1994 and 1996) and the Hultsfred Festival in Sweden present. The album L-Ron , released in 1996, was both the climax and the end of his career, as this activity had become more important for Sardy due to his increasing success as a producer.

Sardy started out as an engineer , mixer and producer with his own band as well as artist friends, such as Cop Shoot Cop . After working alongside Rick Rubin on some works by well-known musicians such as Nine Inch Nails or Red Hot Chili Peppers , he worked on the Slayer album Undisputed Attitude for the first time in 1996 as an independent producer of a better-known band. He then worked for a wide variety of artists, from Supergrass and the Dandy Warhols to Marilyn Manson and Atari Teenage Riot .

His productions are often characterized by the use of old equipment , which he says is due to the fact that everything he loves about music is either old or was recorded on old instruments, for example the Beatles and Black Sabbath or The Verve .
