German dance pioneers Scooter have dominated the electronic music landscape since their formation in Hamburg, evolving from Happy Hardcore and Hard Trance specialists into versatile producers spanning Hands Up, Techno, Trance, Hardstyle, and Jumpstyle. Founded by H.P. Baxxter, the act has become one of Germany's most commercially successful electronic acts, with over 30 million records sold and 23 top-ten hits to their name.
Scooter's signature sound—characterized by shouted vocals, pitch-shifted choruses, and dynamic live elements—has produced countless dancefloor anthems including "Hyper Hyper," "Move Your Ass!," "Ramp! (The Logical Song)," "Nessaja," and "Jumping All Over the World." Their willingness to experiment across multiple dance subgenres while maintaining a distinctive identity has earned them 80 gold and platinum awards and cemented their status as electronic music innovators.
The collective continues to evolve, with the 2023 announcement of their seventh chapter featuring H.P. Baxxter alongside returning member Jay Frog and newcomer Marc Blou, ensuring Scooter's legacy as a driving force in European dance music remains vibrant and forward-moving.
