Hardfloor - “Trancescript” Harthouse Retrospective Part 1 - 4 Song released in 1993. Compilation released in 1998. Acid Techno / Acid House

Hardfloor is the inimitable German electronic duo of Ramon Zenker and Oliver Bondzio. The two are known for their wonderfully layered creations and their masterful use of the Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer, which produces the squelchy acid sound. They have used up to six TB-303s at one time and are known to modify them in order to create new and unique acid sounds. 

With their TB-303 expertise, Zenker and Bondzio were at the forefront of the German acid house scene, and were one of the acts to pioneer it. As acid house seemed to die out, Hardfloor have dabbled in other areas of electronic music, experimenting with trip hop, IDM, electro, breaks, hip hop, and downtempo styles. The pair have their own label and continue to release music to this day. They have an uncanny ability to adapt in order to stay relevant and remain fresh. They have been a force to be reckoned with for almost 30 years now.

Zenker and Bondzio hail from neighboring towns in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and released their first music in 1991 on Eye-Q Records. 1992 saw the release of their biggest hit, “Acperience,” which was then followed by another hit called “Trancescript” in 1993. Both managed to chart in the UK, which was somewhat of a rare feat for German electronic dance musicians.

"Trancescript” is a great piece of 8 plus minutes of acid techno. Zenker and Bondzio begin with a kick drum and squelches and progressively build a groove. They add a bunch of percussive elements along with more squelching layers and some chimes. At the 3:38 mark, they crown their groove with a noisy, almost distorted lead squelching rhythm. A little more than halfway through, we get a bit of a breakdown and the two add in a bunch of anticipation-building, slowly climbing strings. The strings eventually fade and the chimes return, which then leads back into the original groove. The final minute consists of Hardfloor playing with their squelches by stretching them out and distorting them, which generates quite an interesting and experimental rhythm to close out.

This description doesn’t do justice to what these two men created. It’s a very layered, complex, and intricately woven piece of dance music. A great example of expertly crafted techno.
