  • Totally awesome track, love the sound! I've got the x0xb0x 303 clone, ps: how do you rate them compared to the 303? Anyway, this makes me want to buy another 2!!

  • Total genius, simply joyful. I first saw Hardfloor performing this live on MTV, 16 March 1996, as I waited for the Frank Bruno vs Mike Tyson fight. I knew how Bruno felt, as the track knocked me out! They did Mahogany Roots too. Fantastic stuff.

  • Nice track... Excellent bros...greetings from mexico

  • Sven Vath - Brighton - Zap

    A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

  • yeah! REAL trance. thanks for the upload.

  • Hi Ramon, I just wanted to say thanks to you and Oliver for writing this track. It took my head off when I heard it in 1993, and it inspired me (already an electronic music-maker at the time) to write my first trance track. It got released (on Phantasm Records), and nearly 20 years later I'm still doing it. So all the travel and gigs and releases and parties and festivals and good times and hard times and skills I've learned and people I've worked with: it's all your fault. Thankyou so much.

  • @ColinOOOD Thank you very much. It´s a very deep compliment and not easy to comprehend (uhhh - a rhyme!) when you are a musician, who is inspired himself by other artist like we are :-) Keep it going !!

  • acidhouse @ its best 90s styleee..haha progression mo funkee fo da 21st century..

  • i'm from the 2011 and we still love this song

  • It doesn't really get much better does it ?

  • Still gives me goosebumps.

  • wasn't old skool when i bought it, but it is now!

  • epic! :)

  • If you remember this, then your dealer was a good guy. Amazing. Rave On .........

  • This brings me back basement nightclub sweat dripping from ceiling 2.30 in the morning and the dj drops this and the place explodes hair on the back off the neck stuff

  • oki.............this is musique in my ears

  • this year Harflloor celebrate 20 year of carreer with one Pack 3 Cds named

    " 20: Two Decades Of Hardfloor " the fabulous Pionnier from European ACIIID Trance inspired by "the phuture 303" realised in 1986 at Chicago the first track around the world 'Acid Trax' with 1 TB 303 & TR 808 ! Hardfloor with 'Acperience 1' in 1991 : 2 TB 303 & 1 TR 909 'The Song of Roland' ....

  • They were playing this track in Goa in 1993,,,,great memories and awesome track!

  • Drstrobo, you guys are awesome. Saw you in Leeds a couple of months ago at Future/Past. Keep up the good work

  • Comment removed

  • opened the doors....avoid chapel perilous ....movemove onnnmmmm

  • Love the way it relentlessly builds!!! I can imagine it like a big wave rolling into shore :)

  • Hey Austyn, this track ist from 1992 ! We made it with Atari SL & Notator, Akai S1000, Roland TR909, Waldorf Mircowave and three TB 303s - OLDSCHOOOOOL :-)

  • @drstrobo ah ty 

  • @drstrobo

    Great stuff! Bought that track long time ago! However, I always thought you use only two 303s - but as I read it now for the first time that you use three, I think I can identify three at approx. 2:30. So far, I thought it's two plus effects but now I guess this part untilizes three 303s... - right or wrong?

  • @drstrobo SAY WHAT! Crazy what you made this track with. It Is a RAVE classic!!! IT still gives me insane chillz to this day & stands out as one of the best acid tracks of all time. Not to mention, it blows most of the crap out now-a-days OUT THE WATER

  • good song..was this made in fl studio ? i wanna start doing songs like this

  • @austyn1234567891 are you joking?

  • fine german acid

    

  • Some untalented people spew forth utter crap and inexperienced people praise it. Luckily there are those of us who require more of music. This is a great example of an atmospheric tune. Just the mentioning of Basshunter got me sick and my ears vomited for an hour and my soul almost got sick beyond repair :)

  • MORON ANTIDOTE - XARIS ENLIGHTENED ;)

  • The ultimate 303/909 based track.

    Nuff said.

  • @MoronAntidote what is 303/909?

  • @xxjamezxxdot

    Roland TB303 and TR909. Look em up!

  • @MoronAntidote Zomfg, This is so weird, The anime series "Eureka Seven" has 4 episodes, named "Acperience 1, Acperience 2, Acperience 3, Acperience 4". It also has Mecha's named The 303, The 808, and the 909. I guess there is more to that anime than meets the eye.

  • @xxjamezxxdot

    Very interesting. There was of course a Roland TR808 too.

    No doubt a homage to these legendary instruments :)

  • @xxjamezxxdot I had finished watching Eureka 7 as well. I went to research what "Acperience" meant and came across this song. And after reading the comments, there are (too) many "coincidences." I began to believe that this song inspired the creators of Eureka 7. Either that or it's a tribute to Ray and Charles; their song had a similar feel to this one. Also, @MoronAntidote I believe you are right there!

  • @xxjamezxxdot ....now thats a culture barbarian question :)))

    TB303 = a Monosynth from 1983 (THE acid sound)

    TR909 = THE Drummachine, used in about every housetrack(sometimes a TR808 or TR707)

    all Analogue & there4 fatter/warmer then software, all 4 legendary

  • @XHALE303 Sorry I'm only 16 =[

  • LOV3 YOU J3SS /VS/ DL

  • Ezekiel2500.... ... ... XD

  • Forgotten classic... let's start a campaign to get it remembered... it's got more class than Josh Winx, let's face it ;)

  • hola hombres, this is the very very best acid that we had at the middle of the 90´s

    acrid s and hardfloor. i ve seen them a lot of times live !! warehouse cologne. it was a pretty hard time. i don t wanna miss it. never. cheers and take care daniel from monheim-germany ping pang tootoo geil

  • Good Music Doesn't Need More Than A 303 & 909.

    .NuStuffSucks.

  • the cool thing about it is that you still can drop it and the crowd goes mad :) timeless

  • Super! The old days!! This gives me goosebumps!!!!!

  • no words,just chemical brain wave lengths igniting to 303 intelligence..love it.

  • why do i keep getting non stop head to toe waves of goose bumps when i listen to this!!! Oh the days!!!

  • When i started raving in 93 i went to lots of squat raves in london,mainly hard house and jungle but the first time i heard this tune dropped,My God it tore the fucking roof off! best European techno/trance outfit.Word!

  • Im in love for this song from the first time i'v heard it. When I bought the cd including this track. it was in early 90's and the tile of album was "The point with no return"....

  • this is an Armageddon trax one of those songs that will make you explode

  • it was one of the first tracks , hard acid, that i listened on the radio, at night,

    back in 94.

  • The movie brung me here.

  • anyone else here because of eureka seven....?

  • The finest breakdown and build-up / crescendo ever pressed onto vinyl - FACT!

  • this is so great!!!! great piece!!! unforgetable!!!!! brings back such a memories.............the best techno parties ever.......!!!!

  • Hey Ezekiel, of course - Big Brother Hardfloor is watching you. This is my (Ramon Zenker) channel :-)

  • @drstrobo You know what? That's fucking cool that you're on Youtube :)

  • The masters themselves read my comment, yay! On their Facebook, August 19.

    In fact, they could be watching us right now...

  • Ah I remember this from 200 years ago when I listened to my Flux trax cd again and again and again and again.

  • Ah, the memories of the 90's this one brings back! Rave on!

  • Psychadelia that is beyond limits in this track ... its making me high

  • this rocks like an earhquake. period. even a statue would dance their arse off to this!

  • The Histroy is to enjoy the tunes man....Get real dude... Cum on the head strong man.Fuck it Hippy until u die man. Peace

    

  • Yes, kids.... once upon a time, dance music producers used real synthesizers and rhythm machines and tape recorders when they played parties. Nowadays it's all Ableton this and Brett Favre's penis that...

  • top one nice one get sorted

  • Those were the days... music from the heart for the people. I can still feel the roof coming off whenever this was played

  • One and only. True history of Acieed. Thanks for sharing.

  • masterwork!!!

  • this track changed my life

    no word of a lie

    I'll never forget hearing this for the first time in Eatern Bloc in Manchester, and thinking "what the fuck is that?!?" and buying it almost out of embarrassment, cause the bloke playing it was convinced it was fucking hardcore, and I didn't want to seem like a complete newb! He was right!

  • BRILLIANT BEYOND BRILLIANCE

  • meltdown !!!

  • no kidding dude. good times.

  • still sends shivers up my spine !!!

  • by jesus this is a good track. So many memories, all good.

  • @slavex1

    Almost depressing when you think about how good the times were. lol

  • hardfloor were the masters of their genre. no 2 men could work the 303 better than these boys.

  • @416billy ain't that the truth!!! they got the sickest noises outta that little beast ;)

  • Too young to remember this tune first time round, but it's reputation always preceded it. I used to drop it into a hardcore acid techno set back in 2001-2002... all the older heads in the room seemed to get it more than the younger...

  • All us lot who were over the dirty old raves and by now had grown our hair long, long, wearing frilly shirts, leather trousers & biker boots with the girls in pin curls, chokers and long Margiela skirts at Milk Bar of a friday night in 1991 - fuck it this track was back to sweatbox wallabies and ponchos. 303 I love you.

  • pofop...check out primal scream v public enenmy...loaded/dont believe the hype

  • Thanks for putting that on. Just spent last few minutes doing silly things with my mouth.

  • Now this was my all time fave acid tune and always will be,i cannot believe this tune..get shivers whenever i hear it,memories from 92-93, i was there and i'm so happy i was!

  • HARDFLOOR Stroboskopowe czasy:)

  • HaaRRRdddddddFFFFFlllllOOOOooo­oOOoooOOrrrrrrRRRRRRRr,,,.....­....!!!!!

    

  • I agree THIS is music for the grown ups! Damn im sitting here with the chils now... That REAL 303 sound.... It just brings so many good memories with it... That was times and I love that I was a DJ who played REAL Techno with REAL VINYL... Thak you for bringing me back to the good old days...

  • sounds like a fuck-around on rebirth imo.

  • @Electroguy1 -

    No it's the other way round. Rebirth sounds like this. When this track was written (1992) Rebirth wouldn't exist for another 4 years (1996). This was made on REAL 303's and 808's and 909's. Propellerheads made Rebirth because everybody wanted to be able to do this too without forking out 1000s on vintage gear.

  • @jmahjmahjmah You misunderstood. I wasn't saying I was under the impression this was made on rebirth. I'm saying it sounds like lazy acid music as If someone had just launched rebirth and made a generic acid tune.

    You can even see from the vid that they're using hardware.....

  • @Electroguy1 Ok I see what you mean but I'd respond to that similarly - when this was released there was no such thing as a generic acid tune! These guys were amongst the pioneers and innovators of that sound. I can see why you hear it as generic now because so many who came after copied it but at the time this tune was huge. Truth is if you weren't there at the time you'll never get it.

  • @jmahjmahjmah Fair comment. I certainly wasn't there. Acid has moved on a great deal so by comparison this does seem somewhat basic and uninspired but I can see your attachment from a historical stance.

  • @Electroguy1 ...what? are you mad? late 80's-early 90's acid will always be best.

  • @Electroguy1 your dumb dude wrong place to post that 4 i am the all seeing lord of you tune posts.. but seriously take that shit some where else

  • @drjakturbo

    What are you even talking about? And by you tune were you trying to type youtube?

  • @Electroguy1 naw ill stick with you tune.. HArdfloor owns CApt.

  • good song!

  • memories and forthcomings...*like*

  • not taken a pill in 10 years but you'd have to scrape me off the ceiling just now and i have a proper ear to ear grin. god i miss the old days :-) don't make em like this anymore.... as for the 16 who don't like this, piss off and leave the grown ups to the real music

  • techno as i like.....

  • fuckin yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    tribal gathering!!!

  • Proper acid tune.

  • I'm addicted to Hardfloor. The doctors tried to wean me off using Basshunter, but my body had a toxic reaction to that shit and I almost died. Thankfully, the paramedics arrived in time and revived me with a 100 milligram shot of Acperience 1 straight into the heart.

  • incredible track

  • Plastikman - Krakpot

  • fatboy slim used it on dance bitch the lazy track

  • @BTIshimura  Landmark tune along with,"fish and chips"

  • @BTIshimura This is a slice of techno history. I'm guessing your are young and don't remember the American Rave 90's. You missed out. If you aren't young, you are just a troll then. 

  • I think this is why aliens come to visit earth >_>

  • A nice '303' blizzard.

  • ich will feiern !!!!!!!!!

  • Oliver Bonzio & Ramon Zenker zwei Pioniere made in Germany

  • Hardfloor is still the deep ill sound!!! Toby - San Diego, CA

  • das ja gut

  • basshunter was in his mother when trance was music :-D 99.9999 % of trance is dead after 2001. Trance are not 10000 synthesizers and cheep rhythm. trance must put you in trance. I get diarrhea when I hear tiesto trance, new aged trance and mtv cheep tune like basshunter. God dammit they put trance without energy and soud like basshunter into hard trance. shame... Great track!

  • @dbbification yeah its true what you've said trance is dead and i wasnt even around to see it.. mainstream killed trance and pretty much all electronic music, its a shame how musics evolved into shit.

  • @anarchyisawsome93

    you have to dig very deep in the hope that it will anything respectable in todays music. Money is the opposite reciprocal quality. There is a lot of unexplored ideas but people are not innovative.

  • they used this in the movie KISS OF DEATH little junior brown was going ape when his father died. this was on in the back ground he was danceing to this and he smashed the place up. fucked up the world more power to little junior brown this is the trac i want at my death banging stuff

  • @audiotekking, I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!! THE BEST DAVID CARUSO MOVIE EVER!!!!!!

  • Another song on my list of revisiting old trance. I like the track. Feels good to take a trip down memory lane

  • sugar sweet belfast-)

  • yes david holmes and ian ma creedy i was there i am from dublin i worked in the temple of sound those where the days

  • @audiotekking took the belfast lads to teach the bleedin metropolitans didnt it

  • theee best dance tune ever....quarter to 7 on saturday morning and aboot 15 years later and it still sends sivers up ma spine. fuck the rest this is the best

  • My fave of all time,CHOOOOOON!

  • The fascinating HISTORY of this Acid Masterpiece goes way back to the Eighties...The primitive 'blue prints' for Acperience are clearly seen the late Eighties Acid House tunes: 151 by Armando and Acid Tracks by Phuture. The primal sound of Acid Music started spreading to other musical styles by the time Acperience was produced. THIS IS TRACK DEFINITELY A SORT OF 'CLIMAX' TO THE MOST INNOVATIVE ERA OF ACID (IN MY OPINION). Thanks for sharing.

  • @ElectronicaHistory Check out, Jacques Greene- Sorted, in my opinion this guy is the future of acid. The future is bright.

  • absolute perfection imho

  • loved this when i was in high school and the local YMCA and Moose Lodge would have raves......they were totally oblivious to what was actually going on

  • how come this vid doesnt have millions of video, instead tiesto and his shit is intoxicating youtube, pfff, this bad is genius

  • This isn't the full version though, it's abridged. The full version builds more slowly into the crescendo...... (roll on floor laugh my ass off!!)

  • 303s ?

  • Now THAT was groovy...... ... .  ..

  • a classic - 'nuff said.

  • You should check out our video mash-up of Hardfloor - The Doors- Apocalypse Now, 303s and 60s psych! :)

  • The Doors don't have a song called "Apocalypse Now".

  • That is true but we mixed up audio & visually The Doors "The End" & an acid tune by Hardfloor.

    Check our sight & you'll see what we mean, peace :))

  • I remember my (then) new student neighbours had just moved in next door and bought record decks, knocked on my door & asked to borrow the record I was playing which they could hear (Cappella - U Got 2 Know) and in return, they gave me this cool toon to spin! Respect!

  • True classic, so simple yet effective

  • fucking amazing....ultimate classic.

  • The greatest acid track of all time.

  • without a doubt

  • That's saying a lot, but I can't disagree.

  • I came here lookin for Hardfloor's page.... i got sidetracked.... forever
