Scooter. Will be watching them while the crowds meeting up with frontman h. P. Baxter and finding out the secret of their phenomenal success. Schools are among the most popular dance music acts in the world how did frontman h. B. Backstab and his musicians make it to the top well take a closer look at their incredible success story. Their concerts are wild techno parties everyone can chant along with their simple vocals here scooter gets the fins on the floor for over two decades now the german trio has been turning out hits for International Dance floors. Its pretty incredible sometimes a comma leave it i cant get my head around how long its been. I like to focus on the here or now look to the immediate future. I dont intend to do it on the past yet he said all i did say thank i. Ever since they started out in one thousand nine hundred three scooter have polarized audiences to some frontman h. P. Baxter and the guys are the best thing that ever happened to electronic dance music to others their everything thats wrong with it. Scooters responses to make videos that mock themselves the single cant stop the hard core samples a classic greek sipped tuckey tune and give it the classic scooter treatment. Scooter have an especially ecstatic fan base in Northern European countries like finland. The very reason it feels exactly like it did in the nine hundred ninety s. This is a skewed a low guy that weve been talking to every concept says ninety ninety nine. Scooter have sold over thirty million records worldwide so theyre well aware who they have to thank for their success i. Love the silly story its always proud of the fans who stayed with us for years but more have just kept coming to us and they keep coming right to this day for because it probably i this is how scooter sounded back in one nine hundred ninety four the band from hanover scored a major hit with their second single hyper hyper. And since then scooter have been buzzing up and down. Their formula works just as well as ever fast beat catchy melodies and rousing battle cries. Scooter have since released over fifty singles and established a constant presence on the european charts even so critics still like to make fun of their simple lyrics. The message. You have to look at lyrics in the context of the music and how they work together. They might not contain any meaningful message but they make people feel euphoric. Point of them. Even today no matter which part of russia i met people come up to me beaming and greet me with the euphoric. The phrase maybe devoid of meaning but its world famous and they hit all across europe. Scooter are one of the most hard driving bands of the International Dance scene every year they play countless live shows from moscow to slow and they have absolutely no intention of taking a time out. Theres no point in always keeping something alive thats going retro weve got a huge repertoire of classics. Trucks typical scooter techno trucks that we have to play. But at least we try to reinvent ourselves and transform everything so it goes with the new time for me and doesnt you know its high pos. So they waste no time with thoughts of quitting even after more than two decades scooter means raving nonstop like. Twenty seven teams all the techno giants released the nineteenth studio album. Immediately stormed into the top ten of the german charts the video for the single hit my gabba featuring. Was filmed on location in tokyo. Was. Ok. Oh. If i was with was me i was its. Ok. Oh. Really. You. Would. Like it as. You. Pay to get a stage name is h. B. Baxter but he doesnt mind if fans call him scooter when i spot him on the street after all hes the face of the band pop export special meets the man behind the stage persona. And. I feel sad blond black clad extrovert in public h. P. Backs to piss in my eyes is the macho posse animal. Doesnt find it get is that his real name is a man of refined tastes his especially fond of. This nine hundred seventy three jaguar is among the tools of his collection. Hes also a fan of english antiques but if those. Of you. Love the look of old english movies or a good wallace films go furniture thats one hundred years old im only even be fashionable in two hundred years time because it was never fashionable in the first place doesnt bother me more. Genuine i love the comfortable feel of it its in good looking thats sitting in a leather chair in front of a roaring fire. Thats just my thing he does this is just the sort of. Reason and the file when it comes to music to hence the early school back in the u. K. To be sure. Theres always been a clear separation between one space like it is and this alter ego h. P. Baxter. If. I were to go so far as to say that once paired together this is more boring but hes definitely quieter more of a homebody and possibly even a bit more conservative than youd expect. Your thats fine like i think you need to draw a line somewhere where you go crazy. By the way. He was born in one nine hundred sixty four in a small town in northern germany and studied law in hanover before switching to music full time now in his fiftys has learned to appreciate a moment of quiet refined tea no wonder given his roots. And smells really good. Born and raised in east freesia tes an integral part of the local culture. Speciality there is a blend of us. On a bit of darjeeling. Its very strong almost black and you drink it with rock sugar and cream. And. The top is. A man of contradictions at home hanspeter is reserved and day we say is even a bit old fashioned. On the stage he transforms into a speed back and natural performer. Celebrating his dog which is what it should but its important to hold on to your sense of fun and stay in touch with desired geist. You need to keep drawing inspiration but. Not losing sight of who you are it sounds like here its all im not going to reinvent myself as a german language singer songwriter with a guitar any day soon thatll never happen but scooter tries to be as versatile as possible. And space i get is knows what audiences want and how to give it to them the fact hes never taken himself too seriously is also obvious in this video which screws are produced in collaboration with a comedy group. Its. Scooter and im to work with other musicians regularly in twenty fourteen yo ass rap wiz khalifa featured on the big room blitz although he doesnt appear in the video for the track its well worth checking out. To. Take. Place. Body. Time now for some more exciting stories about scooter and. Struts. Back in the nineteen eighties h. P. Baxter was making a very different sound in one thousand nine hundred seven along with rick jordan he founded since pop band celebrate the one. Expects his sister but it might seem was also a member of the group. The second single will you be that made it to number five in the club charts and leads us. Back to band broke up in the one nine hundred ninety two here latest on the scene. Kids his friends and doesnt only use his image to promote his music in twenty say scene he appeared in a russian t.

Of a click to be allies the potential of taking hits everyone there is and giving them to take their treatment. Fifty years ive no doubt by the main thing is knowing how to repackage it. You have to pick up on certain elements that lend themselves to reworking you know i i think thats the. Core you cant just steal a tune and assume it will be a hit its never that easy. Those who are products of. This have sampled all sorts of tracks seventy yes some fans probably dont even know all the original bastions. Like this super tram song from nine hundred seventy nine to get. Another trademark is h. P. Backstairs socalled shouts. To function is nothing more no less than fun. Sometimes i think its funny when people start philosophizing quite seriously about the lyrics and say what kind of bull is this. For example with the single oyo swallow everywhere i go all the ladies want to touch me of course its a mix of Wishful Thinking and im making fun of myself or. Sharing the responsibility for Todays School to sound is. A young d. J. And producer from austria he joined the crew in twenty fourteen. Young local mission because sometimes theyve got funny words for thing that there are lots of things which cant really be described in one word especially in producing music but the guys have come up with words that they use just as naturally as if they were in the dictionary words to denote a particular sound or Something Like that since all those of the typhon and. For example did did did. It may not be in the dictionary but its a ski to classic and just too good not to recycle say jim. These techno veterans. Even if space they keep on taking flak for their sound they dont feel too terribly paul that by the critics call them sky and. Music even if no one of them.
