His first ever EP ‘Kaleidosimple’ was released on Redflux Cinnabar in 2009 with remixes from Nick Robson, Rodrigo Soria, and Yuuki Hori. The release was charted numerous times and received widespread praise with support from DJs on shows like FriskyRadio and Proton.

Two of Alam’s videos were included in Mixmag’s “Top 20 Livestreams of 2020”. His aim was to showcase Malaysia’s talents on a global scale. The livestreams continued for another year with ‘Ohrwurm presents Micasa Sucasa’.
