Hardfloor is a German electronic music duo, consisting of Oliver Bondzio and Ramon Zenker. Their most famous track is "Acperience 1" (often titled more simply as "Acperience" on many compilation albums) and chosen by Feargal Sharkey as one of his 'Inheritance Tracks' when interviewed on UK's BBC Radio 4. Their distinctive acid house sound is attributed to their skill at manipulating Roland TB-303 bass synthesisers, using up to six of these machines at once.
Links to Peel[]
Peel first played Hardfloor in 1992 and would play further material from the duo, including adding their song, 'Acperience', on his Peel Out In The States compilation in 1993. In the A Year In Muzik section in the Muzik magazine, Peel nominated their 'Beavis At Bat (Dave Angel Remix)' tune as one of his favourite singles of 1996.
