The song received good rotation on local radio stations. This groups dates back to 2000 where founders of Rapocalypse Records, an independent hip hop label in Malaysia, Kugan & Bala met up with four friends, VJ, Yoga, Loga & Krisz who were at that time thriving for a chance at the local music industry. Seeing the potential these young lads had, all six of them decided to form a Tamil hip hop group which was subsequently named “Hyperkinetix”. As Kugan@Funktionz was busy producing the album “Melodramatics” that time, it was an excellent opportunity to introduce the group to the independent English hip hop market in Malaysia which at that was on the lookout for something fresh. Hyperkinetix recorded “Vetri” which was produced by group member Kugan@Funktionz and the song was released on the “Melodramatics” album which hit stores in June 2003. The song was an instant hit and received heavy rotation on THR Raaga, Malaysia’s No.1 Tamil radio station. With the success of this song, the group decided to take it one step further by recording a full length album. The album recording process begun in August, 2003 and was completed July, 2004. Their debut album “Vegam Vivegam” was released on the first week of August 2004 and sold more than 11,000 units in the first 5 months of its release. music charts history - establishing Hyperkinetix as one of the hottest new acts to emerge on the Malaysian music scene. Vegam Vivegam is also the first Tamil hip hop album in the country to breakthrough the international market with the album being distributed in UK. The group has been featured in numerous publications and also performed at Time Highway Radio’s concert in Malacca in front of a crowd of 40,000 fans. "Por Vellum Varthaigal" which contain 10 brand new songs is a follow up EP to their debut album "Vegam Vivegam" and is set to take the Malaysian Tamil music scene by storm.
