Markku and Matti began their musical careers as producers in the psychedelic trance scene in 1995. The group started to make a name for themselves performing in underground raves and forest parties in the late 1990s. After their first releases on the Helsinki-based label in 2000 and 2001, Kiwa started to gain followers also internationally. The music of Kiwa has influences among other styles from funk, breaks, house and drum 'n' bass.
