Techno is dead?!" No other music direction was as often dead-said, as what developed end of the eighties from a heap of creative people in England, Benelux and Germany. With a to date rather insignificant Drummachine (Roland Tr-909), a few Synthies and a commercially geflopten Bassynthesizer (Roland Tb-303), began at that time the probably last genuine revolution in music history. Whether hated, loved, verhoehnt or gehyped, was Techno above all always one: polarizing. In best Analogitaet in addition presents itself the history of a group, whose name is not to be excluded Scooter for 7 years from the European Dance scene -. There are few volume, at which the spirit separates in such a way, as with the three Hamburg producers, those, together with its manager Jens Thele, since ' 94 the international Charts up-mixes May. Innumerable Top Ten hit, Veroeffentlicheungen in over 30 countries world-wide, innumerable platinum and gold honors as well as various music prices, concerts forwards up to 80.000 spectators and not last approx.. clay/tone carrier seams the career way these exception volume sold 9 million. Thus make HP, Rick and Axel also no make no secret from the fact that they are proud on the reached: "only if none excites itself more over us, then we can go home", so the collective guiding principle to that volume. But which outward as simply and nearly already looked as planned by long hand, a long stony way in reality, which actually so not at all into ours "on push of a button", was - society fits: "there sits you for many years in the cellar, produces as a mad, experiences only Flops, and if you think, now it becomes nothing more, has you a European-wide Top Five hit" suddenly brings front man H.P. its impressions of the career start, at that time still with Keyboarder Ferris Bueller, on the point and adds: "and then all world - which are nevertheless eh only gecastet, does not think makes determines anything - a strange experience". However already 1995 punishes Scooter those critics lies, which wanted to dismiss the volume as "One hit Wonder": after "hyper hyper" follow still four further Top Five with "move Your ASS", "Friends", "Endless buzzer" and "bake in The UK", - hits, Scooter are established. With creativity, joke and a due portion it the three create self irony ("incoming goods of acres The Greatest ", 1998) to surprise their fans and critics again and again on the new. Times it is the adaptation "measures Marple - title topic", which indicates the clay/tone in the Refrain, times a guitar reef ("Fire"), with that 1997 even the combination "rock musician existing at that time against Techno e.V." their association purpose to have doubted would be allowed to do. Scooter - which is not only volume, it is a life feeling, and who knows young, knows that "party" is not with Scooter an empty word case. The musical concept leaves to place again and again nevertheless for thoughtful moments: "NO Fate"(1997)," She's The Sun"(2000) or also for example "Dancing in The Moonlight" (album TRACK, Age OF Love, 1997) point the musical range out, which Scooter of landlaeufigen Techno - and Danceacts differentiates. What now is the secret prescription, which stands behind the constant success of Scooter? The work distribution is clear: Axel, in May 1998 after the door pushed from Ferris to Scooter, forms the DJ part of the group and predominantly worries thereby about Basisgrooves and the newest trends in the Underground. H.P. writes not only almost 100% of all texts, but supplies often also the creative basis, on which, the err-funny Refrains designating for Scooter develops; Rick contributes the conservative-musical part to the whole one. In addition it divides with Axel the job of the technician. Is rounded off the team of Jens Thele, which developed the label "Kontor record" in its function as a manager of Scooter "times so beside" still, of where out it also "Sheffield Tunes", which cares for Scooter own exclusive label.
