==================================================================================== Altern 8 (aka Mark Archer & Chris Peat) Discography (1989 - Current?) ==================================================================================== Initiated by dom@inta.net - maintained + comments/fixes/research by Hutcho with help from DJ Mental. I think everyone who has been round for more than 10mins will have heard of these lads...responsible for many a classic rave tune, live PA + the duo widely credited for popularising boiler suits & dust masks as a fashionable rave accessory to the world via their fantastic 'secretive identities' publicity + general pisstaking. Their tracks are featured on nearly every 'Classic Rave Compilation' album to date - new or old & the singles are always popular with collectors. Ok this is only really an artist release list NOT a label as usual...more for the collectors out there who want to know what else these lads produced other than the classics they're often credited (and rightly so) for producing. They also did remixes For Cabaret Voltaire, Paris Grey & Housemaster Baldwin, Kate B, Pandella, Pet Shop Boys, Skin Up, Yellow Magic Orchestra & Phuture Assassins to name but a few. Main Artist / Production Aliases :- ----------------------------------- Nexus 21 / C&M Connection / Altern 8 = Chris Peat & Mark Archer DJ Nex / Xen Mantra = Mark Archer Slo Moshun = Mark Archer & Danny Taurus Both Chris Peat & Mark Archer have over the last year or so started releasing a mixture of Garage, House + Hard NRG-style releases + remixes under a few new pseudonyms...working on info for those. Good to see the lads back in action!
