Nexus 21

Nexus 21 (a name chosen because of its "futuristic house sound" and the age of both founders of the group) was a British techno duo from Stafford, England formed in 1989, by Mark Archer (previously of Bizarre Inc.) and Chris Peat, whose sounds were largely influenced by Detroit techno and bits of acid house, electro and breakbeat elements. In 1991, Peat and Archer decided to pursue their music into hardcore rave and their group project later became the name Altern 8. Nexus 21's name is still used in occasional remixes.
