A look into the past
For the first time, H.P. and Rick thought about creating a creative association back in 1985. The performers put maximum effort and time into their first own project Celebrate the Nun.
This experience in the industry has shown that musicians are talented and have great potential. Two successful albums found their fans all over the world, one of the singles Will You Be There even hit the US tops.
A year and a half after the closure of the project, the musicians took up mixing, the new enterprise was called The Loop!. Things were going well, concert activity was in demand by the best clubs. During this period, Ferris Buhler joined the team. The Scooter group was created.
World recognition of the Scooter group
The year 1995 was marked for the group by the appearance of …And the Beat Goes On!. Thanks to the special melodic sound of the compositions, together with modern technologies, the originality of the performance in this album, the group gained worldwide popularity. Most popular hits: Different Reality, Cosmos, Rhapsody in E.
1996 was a very fruitful year for the band. Two projects were released at once - Our Happy Hardcore, which was hard in style, and the radically new Wicked!, thanks to which the performers gained even greater popularity and recognition.
Fans from all over the world began to closely observe the work of the group. The creative talent of the performers was constantly "in search", they were actively looking for their niche.
Created a unique composition Break It Up. The following year, the band continued to experiment with style with Age of Love. Two songs of this album were widely known.
The single "The Age of Love" became the soundtrack to the American sci-fi film "The Terminator".
The famous electric guitar solo Fire sounded in the action adventure Mortal Kombat 2. Destruction". During this period, Buller left the trio.
Scooter at the peak of popularity
In the late 1990s, thanks in large part to newcomer DJ Axel Kuhn, Scooter began to sound in a new way. Literally adored by fans, the No Time To Chill project has been released.
The hallmark of the performers was his key composition How Much Is The Fish?. Popularity was at its peak. The Scooter group was in the highest demand. The creative potential was still inexhaustible, the performers delighted the fans with the new club album Back to the Heavyweight Jam.
The design has changed, a branded cover with a well-recognized megaphone symbol has appeared. The leader of the group called the Sheffield project that appeared as a result of the changes experimental.
This is due to the fact that some songs in the album are performed in an uncharacteristic melodic rhythm. The performers continued their creative search. The result is energizing new projects We Bring The Noise!, Push The Beat For This Jam.

Kuhn was replaced by Jay Frog. The trio still holds top positions, fans are looking forward to new products. The performers are preparing a musical project filled with heavy house The Stadium Techno Experience.
The musical recognition was overwhelming, but the performers were addicted to samples. In the next 2004 project Mind the Gap there was only one composition without borrowings. Not everyone liked this creative approach, criticism began.
There were also conflicts with other musicians. Frog left the group and was replaced by Michael Simon. A new round in the history of the Scooter group has begun.
Group update
In 2007, extraordinary compositions were presented. The group continued to experiment. The Ultimate Aural Orgasm project has been given top positions on all world sites. The band got an off-format composition Lass Uns Tanzen in their native German.
The incredibly successful album Jumping All Over the World has been released. The team has become a cult. The single Under the Radar Over the Top confidently kept in the tops. At the end of 2013, shortly after a large-scale tour, Rick Jordan left the line-up. He was replaced by Phil Speiser.
The departure of one of the founders did not prevent the group's popularity. On the contrary, another strong creative impulse has been received. This is the whole phenomenon of the "unfading" cult trio. Already in 2017, the 19th compilation of Forever broke all records in the American charts.
