Altern 8 Boiler Room Nottingham DJ Set 

Best Boiler Room set ever. Can't see it being topped. Kids, that's how it was every weekend in 91 / 92!! 💊😜

Tracklist: 0:27 Xpansions - Elevation (move your body) 4:10 Bassheads - Is there anybody out there 7:18 K-Klass - Rhythm is a Mystery 9:17 CLS - Can you feel it (1992) 12:50 Gat Decor - Passion 17:56 Prodigy - Everybody in the place 19:44 House Syndicate - Jam the mace (1990) 21:55 Blapps posse - Don't hold back 25:02 Joey Beltram - Energy flash 26:44 Outlander - Vamp 28:11 Cbersonik - Technarchy 30:15 CJ BOLLAND - Ravesignal III (Horsepower Exclusive Remix) 30:12 Bizarre Inc - Playing with knives 36:36 Quadrophonia - Quadrophonia (1990/1991) 39:08 CUBIC 22 - NIGHT IN MOTION 41:21 T99 - Anastasia 43:50 Moby - Go 45:30 Rabbit City (White Lable) - Beyond Control 47:11 The Prodigy - Charly 50:47 Rhythm Quest - Closer To All Your Dreams 52:28 BABY D - Let Me Be Your Fantasy 56:06 Awesome 3 - Don't Go 58:48 Liquid - Sweet Harmony 1:01:40 Johny L - Hurt you so 1:04:47 The Prodigy - Out Of Space

How fucking clever is that cut from Gat Decor into Prodigy Everybody in the Place. Guy knows his shit! Same line in both songs.

Altern8 are a legendary act. Mark comes across as a great guy whenever I’ve heard him interviewed. This is a quality feel good set of classic tracks that most of this audience may never have heard or heard on a big system. Good work and shows that this music still stands up 30yrs later

First time I know every single track in the BR mix.... I might be too old for this shit.....

would love some more old skool on boiler room, some really underground stuff - ratty, tango or top buzz with some dark jungle techno, or slipmatt with some acid

Mark.............this gets played every day on site, outstanding buddy!

I revist this set so often. My brother was a raver in the 90s, I lived off altern8. Mark Archer is a legend. I love the point at 16.40, young guy complementing Mark's set, the hand shake, brilliant.

There's a rason why the crowd doesn't look like a bunch of amounted corpses: the chooooooooons!!!! Guys knew how to make good dance music back then. Every fucking track very emotional...I mean, check the riffs, the piano breakdowns....people were only responding to this great music. Those tracks are imortal.

This is such a well rounded selection of great old tunes, exactly how I remember the better dj's mixing up the styles of house, techno, hardcore and breaks back in early days. If you want to hear what it was like in the better clubs in the UK in the late 80's early 90's then this is where it is at. Respect due Mr Archer.

The best Boiler Room set so far... and the first one where the crowd look like they're actually enjoying themselves. Ha. More old school, please!!!

This is absolutely amazing. You guys should really bring back more of this era of electronica. Thank you.

Epic set. makes me wanna cry with rave nostalgia... If you were there, you know the score! 😉

Mark Archer is a legend

I had the Altern 8 jacket in my teens...nobody else in my area had one,I was well cool back in the day haha

1990's tunes reminding the youth of today what we did back then! This is epic.

Giving those kids a proper education 😎

charly says always tell your mummy before you go off somewhere

The last time I seen Mark djing in the middle of the set he dropped the original of New order - blue Monday it blew the roof off, Dublin old skool raver & I agree with who ever said they should do more BR old skool sets

Belting set by a legend in the game since 87 respect is due A8 ✌🏻

Altern8 is a piece of Techno History.

This brings back many fond memories. Just an amazing mix in so many ways.

It don't get any better than that. Memories with every note. Sublime🙂

44 and I'm bouncing and gurning like I did back in the day! F##KING AWSOME!

Quality set! Just wish I'd been there. Ravin' in 1990 and still lovin' it

from an original raver.... thats the best set ive heard since 1990... quality... take a bow son.

Awesome set, every tune is a banger, keep the music pumpin people.

cant beat the old school - yep know every tune on there..... brilliant

Can't beat old skool. Going to an open air rave next weekend in Derry, Ireland. Vertigo, Rob Tiserra, Mr C, Alison Limerick, Orbital, Jumping Jack Frost to name a few

Mark used to come into the local record shop In Stafford were He Is from (Me To). Shops would close In the Afternoon on a Wednesday and all the DJ's from the Town and around. Would gather there. He would do a Mix of the New Releases that were coming out over those coming Weeks (And Take Orders). He would do those Mixes on the Shop TT's and If you went Into a Record shop In the 80's 90.s You will understand how hard It was to Mix on Garrard Decks (NO SL200's) were around Yet. So Yes Tech of today has made It easy to this Much better. But You have to understand the Training that went Into Achieving this. He can only use the Kit provided here. But If It was Vinyl TT's He could do this on His Head NO Problem. How many can say that?. I still have all the Altern 8 12" and 7" singles all signed by Mark and Chris. So don't Hate till You know the Facts. Brilliant Set Mark.

Had everyone of these records on vynil . Now 60 yrs old. Cant understand how you can mix with just 2 CDs. Used to have to take loads of records. Brilliant mix

ohhhhhhhhh to be 18 again. Fcuken brilliant. 48 year old raver 😀😀😀

I bet Daz Willot could rock it still like this. Great set by Mark

You see? with proper music teens today can feel alive, just look how they are enjoying at the end of the session, most of them got techno shocked for sure. Amazing tunes. and absolute mastery at the decks. PERIOD.

At last, a proper mix from the the Boiler Room. 👏👏👏👏

I always find so many of these tunes from the late 80s, early 90s to be really difficult to mix, BUT Mark does an absolute sterling job to keep it all flowing perfectly intime and dropping absolute classics one after the other too!! Brings back good memories!

Love how he bought in T99

This is just a discography of all my favourite tunes of all time. What an absolute joy to listen to. So good seeing the youngsters screaming when the bangers drop 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ......timeless class

Doves, squidgy black, purple oms, mushies, GioGoi, baggy jeans...

Absolutely flawless set, the epitome of early 90's rave music mixed to perfection by Mark. This. Is. How. We. Used. To. Play.

I'm loving this mix. Still, a little part of me wishes he was mixing all these beautiful classics on vinyl. Feels more appropriate.

Superb so-called "old school" set that still sounds fresh as a daisy. Pure joy from the 87-92 era before it got shut down by the Tories/the police/drug dealers/so-called 'mega-clubs'.Thank you Boiler Room. Exemplary as ever. Thanks to all concerned!

A legend mixing legendary tracks. Does it get any better than that? Boiler room old skool style 😎

114 dislikes...... stay off the glue......this is a class set 👍🏻

This is absolutely brilliant! Love Mark, Love Altern 8 and Love these timeless classics!!

Thank you Mark. Vibes for ten thousand miles!

As a track, the production value in Passion - Gat Decor is just astounding.

Dancing at home buzzing from these vibes!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't sure about this when I saw the tracklisting as there's a lot of obvious tunes, but the mixing is great and his enthusiasm on the decks is infectious. Will definitely play this again. Keep 'em coming Boiler Room!!

Timeless Dance music. The kids dancing to this weren’t even a glint in their fathers eyes when this music was fresh. Class.

Jesus, what a set!!🔥🔥 Oh to go back

Amazing...... the best songs of Altern8.

One of the best old school sets ever!! All the tracks have so many memories for me. Best time in dance music, I feel so lucky to have been there. Nice one Mark ;)

im 48 and you took me back to the raven hotel flint when i was 18 what a pub small dance floor with your epic tunes blasting

What a mix absolutely loving this. So many tunes, a history lesson of the highest order. Rave on

So many anthems! Party time! So many great memories associated with these tunes and era! Thanks for posting this 😁

I had the pleasure of warming up for Altern8 and 808 State in Nottingham a while back. They're still at it like it's 1992

It's the old skool and you're the fuckin' headmaster!

All these tracks was the wkend norm for us seen altern8 a couple of times!Big up Pandamonium.

This is old school classic techno 🤗

Nice one Mark. Lots of memories there

one the best bolier room sets ever i loved watching it

If this set was on 1210's it would of been extra special..

Mark Archer?!! My friend, Dez, has gotten to know this guy very well over the past months/years, so much so he's landed himself a job dancing for Altern 8 at their gigs.

What a great set to listen to and watch. Kudos Mark Archer. You know your minerals and can work the crowd.

Amazing. Such great memories.

The crowd look like they have been long starved of decent dance music.

One song in and it's going in the favourites as I can already tell it's gonna be a banger!

I remember picking up a copy of Rabbit City from Boogie Times in Romford. I also picked up Charley on the same record shopping trip.

A spectacular set. The Prodigy - Out Of Space at 1:04:47 was a total mind blower! WoWwwww! 😛😝😜😍 UK Hardcore will never die!

The best mix of old house trax ever, gotta r8 Altern8

Best set I've heard for a long time!

Wow. Wow. Wow. Brings me back to being a teenager. What a great set. That is years of experience right there.

good to see that grandpa can still make his grand children dance!

Mark, you have outdone yourself. A man of knowledge and hold the times of great music and tunes, so that you can pass on that knowledge and experience to those that were not there, like most of your audience I am afraid

What an absolute legend this fella is! More AKAs than you can shake a stick at

What a set that was . Well done all involved

Back in the day best days and will neva be same less you see Mandy like me and my mate just done.... reliving it in my room buzzin.......to all you ravers xxx

Great Dj . Nice to meet Mark in Birmingham the other week when i went with my mate Simon of 2Bad Mice fame for his set at the Acid Experiment. A great night was had by all.

Bangin Tunes from another generation..... When it comes to Old Skool me and my mate Will Kelly were the Headmasters at Bakers, Wobble, Tin Tins etc. in the Birmingham 90's club scene. Superb work DJ....

Rave's greatest hits heh! To those who don't know, these tunes crossed over from the underground because they were big rave anthems one and all. Underground, overground wombling free.........wired and loved up on Ecstasy.

How life has changed - '91/'92 this used to be prime time Friday/Saturday night shit, coming up hard and fast; fast forward to 2018 and it's a Monday lunchtime and I'm decorating a bedroom. Am I enjoying it any less? Well, only a little bit. ; ) Edit: I've just realised it's 2019. Maybe the speckled doves did have an effect after all. 🕊👅

The last revolution in music. Every single one of them is a classic. You don't get that now. Love that Bassheads tune. I had no idea they released an album called C.o.d.e.s featuring the KLF rapper. I tumbled on it by accident one day

Love seeing everyone have so much fun in the background

59:00 sweet harmony..... still AWSOME

Brilliant Mark archer... Love it..

I bloody love this mix

trip down memory lane. thanks for this.

5:05 the love!

this is the most epic track picks for a long time wonderful

Wow This is Awesome !! One of the best Sets ever ...Thanks !! Back to the future !!

F#cking amazing. This is what dance music is about. Brilliance.

No expense spared on lighting

Goose bumps with Awesome 3 Don't Go

Cracking mix wasted on this generation, i`m sure a club full of us 40 plusers would have been going for it a lot more. :-)

Some crazy good tunes in this set. What a stormer!

I was there many years ago, when music evolved and we all got high, very high. The music moved us, and to my knowledge there wasn't any bad feeling, we all looked out for one another and it was ok times. I have to say, that this Dj session is one of the best I have ever heard. The best choice of tunes. Thanks you Mark, for a great evening and taking me back to the better times when I could be me. Thank you Sir.
