Nexus 21 – Self Hypnosis

Mark Archer and Chris Peat became rave legends in the early 90′s as Altern 8 but before donning the masks and boiler suits, they worked together as Nexus 21.

Their first work appeared on “The Rhythm of Life” album on Blue Chip before signing to Network (who would also later release Altern 8′s material) and releasing the “Progressive Logic EP” in 1990. Lead track “Self Hypnosis (Mr Whippy remix)” was a brilliantly bleepy slice of house and showcased the duo as a talent to watch. It’s a fantastic piece of british dance music history and still ranks as one of their finest tracks.

I’ve still got the CD kicking around and it’s one of my most treasured musical possessions, I would have of course bought the vinyl but I was only 13 and hadn’t quite discovered turntables yet.

Some of the sounds from the track would then turn up quite a few years later as Altern 8 track “Hypnotic St-8″.
