One of the about popular and well-known German techno artists, Hardfloor is comprised of Oliver Bondzio and Ramon Zenker. Forming in 1991 as the German acid and techno scenes were simply beginning to solidify around artists such as Sven Vath, Pete Namlook, David Moufang, and DJ Criss, Bondzio and Zenker came in concert at the behest of a mutual friend. The former already an established DJ and the latter a successful studio producer, Hardfloor released the 11-minute "Acperience" individual soon after deciding to inject a bit of claptrap into the German scenery. Utilizing since-standard compositional tools like tenacious, melody-driven buildups and elaborate percussion breaks, the running became an instant dancefloor anthem and made Hardfloor a sought make for remix and production work. Although the copulate recorded in brief for the Eye Q label, near of the group's go has number out through and through Sven Vath's influential Harthouse imprint, including a issue of uncut releases and a consistent schedule of 12-inches and EPs. Although the copulate have since evolved from the more simplistic floor-movers of their earlier work, incorporating elements of hip-hop, electro, breakbeat techno, and post-acid house styles like trip-hop and reasoning dance, the group clay committed to the smouldering border of acid, with 909 and 303 sounds comprising the lion's share of their recognizable wakeless. Hardfloor remix credits include Mike Oldfield, the Shamen, and Mory Kante, and both Bondzio and Zenker too passing their have and others' material through their respective Jakpot and No Respect labels. The duette adopted the assumed name Da'Damn'Phreak'Noize'Phunk for the 1999 acid-breakbeat hazard, Electric Crate Digger.

Fat Joe - Remy Ma Jailed For Eight Years Over Shooting

The rapper Remy Ma has been handed an eight-year jail sentence by a New York judge for her role in a Manhattan nightclub shooting last year.

The 26-year-old, famed for her solo work as well as being part of Fat Joe's rap crew Terror Squad, was involved in the incident last July when her former friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph was shot and injured while sitting in her car outside the Pizza Bar.

Ma, according to witness testimonies, was enraged as she suspected her friend of stealing $3,000 from her purse. The rapper was identified by Barnes-Joseph as the perpetrator.

Ma, whose real name is Reminisce Smith, later turned herself in to police and was charged with assault, illegal weapon possession and attempted coercion of witnesses in relation to the incident - charges Ma denied.

However, she was found guilty by New York's state supreme court and today sentenced to an eight-year custodial sentence.

She could have faced up to 25 years in prison for the offences.

It is thought Ma plans to appeal.
