Hardfloor is a German electronic music duo, consisting of Oliver Bondzio and Ramon Zenker.^[1] Their most famous track is "Acperience 1" (often titled more simply as "Acperience" on many compilation albums)^[1] and chosen by Feargal Sharkey as one of his 'Inheritance Tracks'^[2] 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,^[1] using up to six of these machines at once. Their UK chart hits include "Hardtrance Acperience" (1992), "Trancescript" (1993) and the remix of the aforementioned "Acperience" (1997).^[3] Their 1996 album, Home Run, peaked at No. 68 in the UK Albums Chart.^[3]
