Altern 8

Altern 8 are a legendary British rave duo, formed in 1990 by Mark Archer and Chris Peat. Originally known as Nexus 21, the pair were heavily influenced by Detroit’s early techno sound. As the rave movement exploded, they embraced the anonymity of their iconic ‘A’ masks and chemical warfare suits, performing live at illegal parties across the UK. Their hits, including Infiltrate 202, Activ-8, and E-Vapor 8, charted in the UK, cementing their place in rave history. With their 1992 album Full On Mask Hysteria reaching number 10, Altern 8 continue to shape the rave scene with electrifying live sets today.
