Bought this vinyl when it came out, then rushed back to the store the next day to buy another copy cos I KNEW I was going to be caning this - here I am 30 years later about to play my 2nd copy out at a festival. This groove will never die.
This was how it started. Sure there was the Madchester Indie scene, underage drinking and floppy hair, but when this bad boy dropped one night, the night, everything changed. Stood in front of the sound system and felt it, felt it all, every beat, every scream of the TB303. Just stood there. That was how it started.
Kudos mate, so glad it was a classic that did it for you. For me it was Humanoid - Stakker but from the first time I heard this it was always gonnae be hardfloor.
Same.. I came from Nottingham Rock City with a friend that had something he needed to sell "Next Door" Down some steps to a little Club next door. I was a moany GothPunk thing in Leather and Biker Boots. Next Thing,, Some Lovely Sould put a White Dove in my Mouth.... Ambulance Bells Came on and that was THAT!
I am a 46 year old grandma remembering the good old days when we danced to this for hours at the clubs, warehouses, basements, parking lots! All prior 2000
This just took a middle aged man twenty years back in time to one of the most magical times of his life. Thank you Hardfloor - this never loses its power.
Here I am going to comment on the feeling I had when I danced this song, around 1994. It starts with some simple Toms and kick, then the well-known bass line comes in at 0.18 min, but the best thing, what really caught people in the darkness of the club was; the entrance of the assassins, the hi-hats at 0.39 min. You were trapped in a float of bass and hi-hats until at 1.28 min the filtered basses with cut off and resonance, commonly called (acid), entered. And to finish refreshing the salad of sounds, some percussions nailed with precision on the score of the groove machines. This topic never left my head or my digital library again :-) THANKS HARDFLOOR TO ROCK THAT HARD!!!!
We've basically pavloved ourselves into producing endorphins when we hear these sounds. Like, I can literally feel that tingle in my lower abdomen during the drop around 4:09... all by myself in a room with no massive woofers, no people, no flashing lights, no drugs, nothing.
Yes! My endorphins rush around my heart and head as soon as tracks like this come on. I love playing my the music of my youth to my 3 children, they love dancing around the house with me. Pure love second time round ❤
I remember buying this in Choci's Chewns in Soho, then going out to the Pinch night at Gardening club in Covent Garden and nearly losing my shit when, absolutely nutted, Chris & James dropped this very tune into their set. What an absolute masterpiece of acid techno.
Driving back stoned, Colin Dale on KissFM played the most intense rising acid tune. Put my foot on the accelerator, raced home, jumped on my tape deck, caught the last couple of minutes. Then spent the next year trying to track it down. The yellow cover sits 10ft away as I type & it's been acid techno ever since - hurrah!!!
saw hard floor perform this live on all the synths at the orbit 48 in Morley LEEDS UK . . .late 92or early 93 ( can't remember which ) followed by a set from Sven Vath . . . what a magical night that was. sweeties all round !!!!
I remember the first time I heard this at a rave in Canada. It was in a small University town where the music scene was small but when we threw a party people would come from Montreal, Toronto, Quebec, Buffalo, Detroit and New York. This track became one of my faves. People just lost their minds. I remember the cops coming to try to shut the party down but the police force was maybe 40 people and there were at least 600 people in the basement of an abandoned retail facility. I was in awe of the giant skinhead bouncer negotiating with the police. I clearly remember him saying something to the effect of "I can tell everybody to leave and you can deal with them or we can keep them here and I will deal with them". The cops came in, everybody was super friendly with them for about half an hour and they left.
All time. THE track. Acid,techno,house,trance... It suddenly made no difference. This dropped in1992 and changed the fucking world. Still astonishing. Long live HRDFLR.
This is how to use a 303 , absolute classic, takes me back to some of best nights , the right DJ can take the roof off the venue with this , Legendary 👊♥️
I'd say easily the best acid track ever - so well constructed - shows musical genius, and understanding of the crowd and seious technical know how - total classic
I still remember the first time I heard this tune at an after-party after a heavy Saturday night at Memphis Aberdeen. We were sitting around watching BPM on the telly and the video came on and for me it was like a shamanic experience. I was completely off my trolley but remember this video as clear as day and it had me hooked. The only other tune that has had this affect on me was the first time I heard Pierre's Acid Trax at school after hearing it my life changed. 🙂
Just watched a Laurent Garnier set from 2018, he drops Energy Flash about an hour in and i stopped everything, smiled and just thought hahaha I bet he mixes Acperience into this and you just watch all the kids lose their minds. And he did. And they did. Brilliant stuff. We call these tracks the Cryogenics because they stay fresh forever. Thank you Hardfloor. ❤❤
Purchased 4 days ago, guys! Although I already have it in TB Resucitation, The Best Of Hardfloor CDs and HI RES digital ' 20 Two Decades...' But I missed a vinyl version.... Do you think I like this track enough ???
In 1982 Roland created the TB-303. And 10 years later there it was: the best ACiD-song ever produced, groundbreaking in so many ways that even in 2020 there still is nothing as phat and epic like it. Thank you for sculpting the sound of my youth. Nothing but respect and love for that.
Indeed....quite possibly the most acidic track ever...I always return when I need to lower my ph levels! If you haven't watched it already 808 on Netflix or Prime (can't remember which!) is well worth a watch, to see the history of Roland and some of the classic tunes that the 303 & 808 produced
Had to come back to this classic track after listening to your new material (which is all great, I must say)! And it still sounds as good as it did in 1992. It's easily one of the best acid trax ever. Big respect.
This track kills it today like it did back in the day. Probably heard this a thousand times front to back and it never gets old. Hardfloor are the eternal wizards with the silver box. If they haven't already Roland should name a box after them and declare them lifelong ambassadors of the brand. Nobody got more kids twiddling knobs than these two.
One of the best tunes ever absolute classic this and access by DJ Tim and Mishja were the first proper techno tunes I ever heard in about 1995 I'm 40 now still love it these tunes started my DJing and raving days miss it
Greatest tune ever, after all the years that have past everytime I listen to this I remember being in The Dorian Grey Club in Frankfurt and Marc Spoon dropping it R.I.P amazing amazing tune and night
Think of this in the best venue in London with an almighty sound system on a night called MEGADOG sound waves reverberating up the sloped floor through the wings up to the seated circle. I’ve heard this at 10pm, 2am, 4am and 6am on the same night! It’s THAT good a track. My life never the same. Much love.
I played this to my daughter as she was old enough to understand the drug culture after 2 mins she said why do I like this !!!!! Brilliant!!! It’s still brilliant sober !!!
I was walking in Düsseldorf after swimming in the pool, when a tiny shop was playing this tune. I went in. A guy was listening this vynil. He bought it for 5 €. I took a picture of the cover. Now im here, in my house in cologne, listening this beautiful masterpiece.
You haven't experienced HRDFLR until you're dosed asf laying on the floor just vibing, feeling these freqs. I hope you're well, whoever's reading this, cheers
First time I ever heard this was at a Tonka Sound system night I was dragged along to on Brighton Beach. Chochi hits the decks, drops a sample of F1 cars zooming in and out of earshot... and as the last car sound disappears, a thud, thud, thud sound through the smoke machines... the opening drum beats of this track. I'd moved down to Brighton from Manchester to stop partying and focus on studies... that worked out well! I spent several nights a week for the next five years on the dance floor at the Zap club :)
I'm so lucky to be 38 and had experienced this era... This music made you feel free: ultimately noncommercial, completely experimental, completely out of this planet, bears no relation to reality, takes your brain to a fucking good far away galaxy. Compare to the commercial garbage teens listen to now... I hope next generation will experiment again!
Born after this dropped but I'm glad I was able to experience it. People say electronic music is artificial, but they've just been listening to the wrong tracks. This isn't bubblegum, this isn't plastic, this feels real.
Still getting goose-bumped by this. Still as entrancing/captivating/hypnotizing as in 1993 when I heard and danced (raved) to this for the first time. Thank you for this timeless masterpiece.
I remember hearing this in the gallery in Leeds, going a bit spaz as everything kicked in, looking around as my mate sealed the deal with the girl that's been his partner and mother to his kids for the last 20 plus years. Loved this tune ever since.
Will never forget seeing these two perform this live. Still got this image of their heads bobbing up and down continuously & the crowd was going absolutely mental. Never seen anything like it at any kind of show, just to two geeks behind a mixing desk. Absolute magic memories!
Word! I've also seen HRDFLR (only) once. It was in Dublin, must have been around 2005. They took the roof off that place, it was an astonishing performance! Big respect to you, Guys! Grüße aus München! :)
Accccciiiiiiiiiiiiid! Oh my, the glorious Roland 303. I remember when this came out. At the time there was acid music around but not like this. With its super funky beat, hypnotic loop and that liquidy sounding acid. All of the acid music of the time was very underground and on small record labels. This however, made acid a bit more mainstream and gave acid music a lot more exposure that it deserved. It blew me and most people that heard it. That breakdown!. Brain melting goodness! Just gold!
Yep, this was the defining tune of the early 90s club scene in London for me. A great time for dance music before things got more fragmented and niche-y in the late 90s.
Der beste Technotrack ever🎉! Ich höre ihn seit den 90ern immer wieder!! Wenn Ihr so alt seid wie ich habt Ihr das live hören können im "42", Gott hab's es seelig... Dance on!!!!
Hell yeah. I'm a 106 year old personal trainer with a girlfriend and a chick on the side. The 3 of us get down to this track, both on the dancefloor and in the bedroom. 💪
Hearing this live in front row of Tribal Gathering in ‘96 was a transformative “acperience”, it was already one of my faves but that performance I will never forget.
Just commented above & I'm certain were both talking about the same event! I can still remember it distinctly. You could sense that you were seeing something important, the crowd revered those two bouncing geek knob twiddlers & they were amazing! I likened them to an acid Beavis & Buthead! I'm sure they did record a Beavis inspired acid track!
An absolutely F###ing brilliant piece of music!! Listen to this everyday for 20 years and I still love it! Put in a time capsule for future generations!!
1st person on the dance floor in the 2nd arch at slams reg 1st and last Fri back in early 90s had just Come up after double dunting double doves like fucking oddfellows these sweets,nothing like owning the floor when orde and stunning are looking out of the dj booth giving you the thumbs up as the melted this anthem into positive education,then energy flash ..no wonder my brains fried😨lol
Can still remember the first time I heard this. John Peel played it on radio 1. Never heard anything like it before. Wrote down the name on a piece of paper and kept it in my pocket for months until I found it on vinyl. Mind blowing at the time, and still holds up today. Discovered the world of acid and techno thanks to this. Thank you hardfloor.
It was a great experience to hear it when it came out, all the songs felt so varied back then. And every month a new monster track would come out. How much I'd like to travel back in time ;)
Was für ein Brett ! Ich kann mich noch heute daran erinnern , wie es damals in den 90'er war . Als uns der Schweiss von der Decke auf den Kopf tropfte - Im OMEN ..! Lang' ist's her ... RIP Omen
Oh ja im Omen damals 🙂. Man, wir sind alt geworden^^. Ich könnte jetzt so ne Nacht nicht mehr durchstehen, egal auf was. Hatte nur 30 min zum Omen. GOOD TIMES...
Oh ja! 🤪 "Tropfen" ist schon fast ne Verniedlichung! ...das waren fette, breite Flatschen! 🙃 Ich weiß nicht mehr, wie oft genau ich getroffen werden müsste, bis ich erstmal gerafft hatte, dass es einfach nur von der Decke tropfte! 🙈 Auf sowas muss man erstmal kommen! Das habe ich auch nur im Omen erlebt. ...in keinem anderen Klub.
@@joergschmitt1597 Im Palazzo Bingen war es genauso. Innen heisse Luft, altes Gebäude mit viel kälteren Wänden als die Lufttemperatur = Wasser kondensiert an den Wänden und Decken. Also kein Schweiss, wie viele immer so gerne sagen, sondern entmineralisiertes, reines Wasser.
@@SN-1006 im Palazzo war ich tatsächlich auch zwei, drei Mal. Noch bevor ich 95 ins Exil ins Rheinland gezogen bin, -> müsste dann also 94 gewesen sein!? Kommt das hin? Dass es da auch von der Decke tropfte hab ich dann wohl nicht mitbekommen. Ich weiß nur noch, dass das Palazzo ein riesen Schuppen war. Viel Laserlicht und fette Anlage! .... auch schicker/moderner als Omen und Grey, richtig!? Mir war da nicht so behaglich! Man kannte die Leute nicht, bzw nur wenige. Kannte die Gesichter von den zwielichtigen Gestalten nicht (-> die spaßbefreiten Spielverderber mit weitreichenden Befugnissen! ;-) 🕵️ Wie hieß denn der andere Schuppen noma? In Mainz Ingelheim? ....da war Sonntags immer Afterhour? Großer Parkplatz davor. ...wo oft mehr Party war, als drinnen. 🤪 ...und in Nidda Borsdorf war auch so cooler, alter Afterhour-Schuppen! Junge, junge, junge! Waren das Zeiten! 🤪
Will never forget where I was when this tune changed the music trajectory of my life. I was 15-16-something, staying at a hotel in Mallorca for vacation. Radio was on and I was FKN mesmerized by how it blew me away. And now im 46. It got me into all lot of different genres but mostly techno and electro. The Exaltics (later on of course). Egyptian Lover. Luke Eargoggle. Mad Mike Banks, some of those heroes. Love from Stockholm Sweden ❤️
The first half of the 90's was an amazing time to be partying, so many innovative - and wildly diverse - records came out that still sound mind-bendingly good today. If you like this check out the original ("Tweekin acid funk mix") of Josh Wink's "Higher State Of Consciousness" another seminal 303 track
@@DrTune absolutely mate, for me 1990 to 96 amazing progressive house, hard house, techno and acid techno and hardcore techno love it. I still have my old tapes from like 1990 onwards and they still sound amazing. I've transferred them to my pc cleaned them up a little and put them onto my phone and cd. long live my old skool mixes.

As insanely good as ever it was. People will still be playing this in 20 years time and it'll still be tearing up the room
This is always a mainstay of my sets to this day, everyone loves it!
for me - a tune that changed techno forever - I was lucky enough to see HF live on stage at the orbit morely. good times !
Orbit! Legendary (and Sven) CJ Bolland, Joey Beltram, Frank DW etc. awesome times ❤
28 years late and still sounds like it's being beamed in from the future
Arguably the best dance track ever produced…fantastic
I think REZ by Underworld is right up there too.
Also maybe Space shanty by Leftfield.
You could stick this in a time capsule and it will still hit hard in 50 years

Best acid track ever. First heard it in 1992 when Danny Rampling played it and took the roof off the club.
Stone-Cold Masterpiece. The power of the music outlived the quality of the Doves, that's why the 90's were special, unrepeatable.

30 years ago... Fuck, where are the years have gone...

Roland TB303..the most influential piece of hardware ever made by accident ..Bass guitar my arse! Bring on the Acid House generation! Love it!
I would love to have been in the meeting where they went "yeah that's gonna work perfectly for rock shuffle backing tracks"
There is room for both
The dude that made it as a bass guitar is like wtf 😀👽😀❤😀👽👽
I just remember"Bicknell" playing this at The Rhumba Club! What a tune!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
An absolute classic! 👊👏This brings back good memories of the early 90's. Tracks like this R rare these days..
Still getting goose-bumped by this. Still as entrancing/captivating/hypnotizing as in 1993 when I heard and danced (raved) to this for the first time.
Thank you for this timeless masterpiece.
I remember hearing this in the gallery in Leeds, going a bit spaz as everything kicked in, looking around as my mate sealed the deal with the girl that's been his partner and mother to his kids for the last 20 plus years. Loved this tune ever since.
Great memory
Beautiful =)
Will never forget seeing these two perform this live. Still got this image of their heads bobbing up and down continuously & the crowd was going absolutely mental. Never seen anything like it at any kind of show, just to two geeks behind a mixing desk. Absolute magic memories!
I never saw them live, wish I had, original acid techno trance madness
Word! I've also seen HRDFLR (only) once. It was in Dublin, must have been around 2005. They took the roof off that place, it was an astonishing performance! Big respect to you, Guys! Grüße aus München! :)
How good is this. Timeless, still sounds as good as it did when it came out in 92.
I couldn't believe my ears when i first heard this absolute stormer of a tune, 303's firing all over the joint.
THANK YOU !
Colin Murphy synapse-orgasm
what a tempo, what a beat..what a come up back in the day. Stomping tune to dance yer legs off too.
First time heard this track in the early 90s played on the HR3 Clubnight radio show by a young techno DJ called Sven Väth. The rest is history...👽
Experienced in tokyo, Germany both, Sven bath DJ in 1994,5,6.🎉
Accccciiiiiiiiiiiiid! Oh my, the glorious Roland 303. I remember when this came out. At the time there was acid music around but not like this. With its super funky beat, hypnotic loop and that liquidy sounding acid. All of the acid music of the time was very underground and on small record labels. This however, made acid a bit more mainstream and gave acid music a lot more exposure that it deserved. It blew me and most people that heard it. That breakdown!. Brain melting goodness! Just gold!
Yep, this was the defining tune of the early 90s club scene in London for me. A great time for dance music before things got more fragmented and niche-y in the late 90s.
Der beste Technotrack ever🎉! Ich höre ihn seit den 90ern immer wieder!! Wenn Ihr so alt seid wie ich habt Ihr das live hören können im "42", Gott hab's es seelig... Dance on!!!!
I’m a 77 yo pizza delivery guy and still this jacks me up
Hell yeah. I'm a 106 year old personal trainer with a girlfriend and a chick on the side. The 3 of us get down to this track, both on the dancefloor and in the bedroom. 💪
@@Brendan-Black 😂😂❤
How were we to know then that those days were so precious?
SO TRUE!!!
my friend called it lightning in a bottle
HAAHAHAHAHA
PLUR!
For me because limitations open up the creation in your brain...
RIP me old mate Fire 🔥 he was a mean DJ and loved all the tunes and the lifestyle.
I miss you bro x
Hearing this live in front row of Tribal Gathering in ‘96 was a transformative “acperience”, it was already one of my faves but that performance I will never forget.
Just commented above & I'm certain were both talking about the same event! I can still remember it distinctly. You could sense that you were seeing something important, the crowd revered those two bouncing geek knob twiddlers & they were amazing! I likened them to an acid Beavis & Buthead! I'm sure they did record a Beavis inspired acid track!
the holy grail of acid techno
Yes
This track will still rule in 3000 AD !!!
An absolutely F###ing brilliant piece of music!!
Listen to this everyday for 20 years and I still love it!
Put in a time capsule for future generations!!
Thank You !
bang on sir!
1st person on the dance floor in the 2nd arch at slams reg 1st and last Fri back in early 90s had just Come up after double dunting double doves like fucking oddfellows these sweets,nothing like owning the floor when orde and stunning are looking out of the dj booth giving you the thumbs up as the melted this anthem into positive education,then energy flash ..no wonder my brains fried😨lol
Just discovered this today... whoa. It is quite funky and also catchy at the same time. This track was sure ahead of its time
Where have you been?! But even so, welcome to 'the Enlightenment'! 😄
20 years ago
It was made at exactly the right moment
Can still remember the first time I heard this. John Peel played it on radio 1. Never heard anything like it before. Wrote down the name on a piece of paper and kept it in my pocket for months until I found it on vinyl. Mind blowing at the time, and still holds up today. Discovered the world of acid and techno thanks to this. Thank you hardfloor.
👍 Thank you! ....we really appreciate that you share your story with us.✌️
Absolute killer of a track, stunning!😎
You created a music that is unlockable…pure genius
Probably the greatest tune of all time - Lived it in London!
It was a great experience to hear it when it came out, all the songs felt so varied back then. And every month a new monster track would come out. How much I'd like to travel back in time ;)
Der Soundtrack meines Wochenend orientierten discospirituellen Lebens. Danke, gute Arbeit Leute
Was für ein Brett ! Ich kann mich noch heute daran erinnern , wie es damals in den 90'er war . Als uns der Schweiss von der Decke auf den Kopf tropfte - Im OMEN ..! Lang' ist's her ... RIP Omen
Oh ja im Omen damals 🙂. Man, wir sind alt geworden^^. Ich könnte jetzt so ne Nacht nicht mehr durchstehen, egal auf was. Hatte nur 30 min zum Omen. GOOD TIMES...
Oh ja! 🤪
"Tropfen" ist schon fast ne Verniedlichung! ...das waren fette, breite Flatschen! 🙃
Ich weiß nicht mehr, wie oft genau ich getroffen werden müsste, bis ich erstmal gerafft hatte, dass es einfach nur von der Decke tropfte! 🙈
Auf sowas muss man erstmal kommen!
Das habe ich auch nur im Omen erlebt. ...in keinem anderen Klub.
@@joergschmitt1597 Im Palazzo Bingen war es genauso. Innen heisse Luft, altes Gebäude mit viel kälteren Wänden als die Lufttemperatur = Wasser kondensiert an den Wänden und Decken. Also kein Schweiss, wie viele immer so gerne sagen, sondern entmineralisiertes, reines Wasser.
@@joergschmitt1597 Der Tresor war ja auch bekannt dafür....🤪
@@SN-1006 im Palazzo war ich tatsächlich auch zwei, drei Mal.
Noch bevor ich 95 ins Exil ins Rheinland gezogen bin, -> müsste dann also 94 gewesen sein!? Kommt das hin?
Dass es da auch von der Decke tropfte hab ich dann wohl nicht mitbekommen.
Ich weiß nur noch, dass das Palazzo ein riesen Schuppen war. Viel Laserlicht und fette Anlage! .... auch schicker/moderner als Omen und Grey, richtig!?
Mir war da nicht so behaglich! Man kannte die Leute nicht, bzw nur wenige. Kannte die Gesichter von den zwielichtigen Gestalten nicht (-> die spaßbefreiten Spielverderber mit weitreichenden Befugnissen! ;-) 🕵️
Wie hieß denn der andere Schuppen noma? In Mainz Ingelheim? ....da war Sonntags immer Afterhour? Großer Parkplatz davor. ...wo oft mehr Party war, als drinnen. 🤪
...und in Nidda Borsdorf war auch so cooler, alter Afterhour-Schuppen!
Junge, junge, junge! Waren das Zeiten! 🤪
I defy anyone to sit still listening to this…. Absolute classic!🎹🥁🎧😎🙏
I tried to sit still and failed miserably 😅
I watched a rave video version of this track yesterday and nearly " Came Up " on an E I took in 1998 😜😉👍
Impossible. Too cosmic 😵💫
Will never forget where I was when this tune changed the music trajectory of my life. I was 15-16-something, staying at a hotel in Mallorca for vacation. Radio was on and I was FKN mesmerized by how it blew me away. And now im 46. It got me into all lot of different genres but mostly techno and electro. The Exaltics (later on of course). Egyptian Lover. Luke Eargoggle. Mad Mike Banks, some of those heroes. Love from Stockholm Sweden ❤️
Awesome...best tune from 1992, jersey IOTP, played constantly this at the allnighters!
+Carl Fitz Thank You !
This song is one of the DEFINING tunes of acid techno.
303 unleashed!
The best Acid Tune ever created. Genius. 👌
its all about the build to the peak. Outstanding.
It was amazing.
is amazing
I live in Canada. I don't think I've ever heard anything quite like this!
The first half of the 90's was an amazing time to be partying, so many innovative - and wildly diverse - records came out that still sound mind-bendingly good today. If you like this check out the original ("Tweekin acid funk mix") of Josh Wink's "Higher State Of Consciousness" another seminal 303 track
@@DrTune absolutely mate, for me 1990 to 96 amazing progressive house, hard house, techno and acid techno and hardcore techno love it. I still have my old tapes from like 1990 onwards and they still sound amazing. I've transferred them to my pc cleaned them up a little and put them onto my phone and cd. long live my old skool mixes.
see if you heard of this track;
