Harvey Sutherland - Nexus

Today's retro vibes come from melbourne's Harvey Sutherland. The track Nexus is an intstrumental take on the 1983 italo disco classic "Stand Up" by Nexus. I was more than happy when I without any problems was able dig it up the original tune on youtube. I will say that Harvey has done a very good job of reworking it. The vibe in NEXUS is perfectly balanced making it a top shelf rework.



Nexus is actually one of the three tunes recently released on a very cool casette, the so called "cassingle" (the label is This Thing). Nexus is accompanied by lo-fidelity Roland sketches "Q3" and "Pale Blue" on the B-side.

Harvey Sutherland is in fact better known as Mike Kay - a synth nerd, producer, keyboardist, DJ and boogie enthusiast.



His excellent Low Altitude has been given a 12" re-release via good some good folks at Peoples Potential Unlimited (still available, just hit their webstore). Modern boogie at it's best, the title track is a funky 808 driven dance floor filler. You can stream it below:
