Kiwa is an electronic music live act & DJ duo from Finland formed by Markku Louhio (Mark Nomen) and Matti Elsinen (DJ Mauzer). They started out in 1995 as producers in the psychedelic trance scene and soon made a name for themselves playing in underground raves and forest parties. The music of Kiwa has influences among other styles from breaks, house and drum 'n' bass. [1] Kiwa's first two albums, Dreamtime Enhancer (2002) [2] and Retroactive (2004) [3], represent a style blending mix of psy trance, breaks, electronica and occasional references to drum and bass. Kiwa's third album On the Frequency (2007) [4] shows a more progressive approach on dance music.
