Nexus 21

Nexus 21 was a British techno duo from Stafford, England formed in 1989, by Mark Archer and Chris Peat, who would go on to become Altern 8.^[1]

Discography

The group were signed to the Blue Chip record label, under which they released:

• (Still) Life Keeps Moving: a vocal techno tune, today regarded as an early classic.^{[according to whom?]}
• The Rhythm Of Life: LP strongly influenced by Detroit techno with acid house, electro and breakbeats elements.

A second album was ready in late 1991, but due to sample clearance problems, the LP never materialised. A small edition of white labels of I Know We Can Make It / Sychologic PSP was released, which showcased a bigger hardcore influence.

When Blue Chip folded, the duo moved to Network Records, releasing:

• Another Night
• The Detroit remixes

After the release of Overload (EP), as Altern 8, the pair released the following as Nexus 21:

• Self Hypnosis: a deep techno contribution to the Bio Rhythm compilation, a remix of which appeared on the Progressive Logic EP, alongside Together (from Bio Rhythm 2) and two tunes from The Rhythm Of Life, one remixed.
