Scooter Group Biography

About the participants, the history of the SCOOOTER group is an electronic group led by Eich Pi Bakster, which has been torn by the dance floor for 30 years not only in native Germany, but also around the world. Behind them - more than 30 million records sold to fans of dance music far beyond the borders of Europe. The team also remains an excellent platform for the DJs who dream of a solo career - oddly enough, but many of the project participants left him, forever abandoning teamwork, and achieved impressive success in a solo career.

Which is no less important - not only in House, but also in other genres. All, except for Aych Pi Baxter, the most notorious fighter for a happy-hardcor from x up to this day.

Although the latter dealt with management issues and does not play on the tool, fans still treat him as a full -fledged participant.

During the years of his youth, his idols were Billy Audel, Sweet, T. REX and founder of Deep Purple Richie Blackmore. At the age of 14, our hero gathered the first group in which he played the guitar. But New Wiwa came, Depeche Mode became messengers of fashion for electronics, and this skill was not so necessary. In order not to abandon the dream of becoming a musician, Hans switched to vocals, although he never engaged in them professionally.

The first plan of Baxter was to get a legal education - later the musician admitted that, only having entered college, one could get out of a small town. In the educational institution, he spent very little time-just some three weeks. It was then that the future musician met his first colleague, whom we will talk about later. About the early - and the current - years of Jens the body is known very little.

He was born in Hamburg on December 20, he met a bacter in E, worked as a DJ in a variety of local clubs. Among other things, he released his own mixes from various songs, and in M ​​founded Kontor Records, one of the most famous Haus-Leblles in Europe. In addition to him, there are a lot of other unprofessional singers-fighters of the group: since they all sing in the choir, so that the lack of skills does not hit the ears like that.

Rick was born on January 1 of the year. He studied on the keyboards from the age of five; True, he started not with a synthesizer, but with ordinary piano. Having left Scooter in M, Rick returned to the origins and began to create music in the genre of the classic crossover along with the Bulgarian pianist Alexander Raychev. Subsequently, he joined the Leichtmatrose group, in which he plays on the bass.

Michael Simon was born on August 29. He began as a star of the dance floor of Hamburg, until he set out to write his own music. In addition to the already known to us, Eich Pi Baxter, who also played the role of frontman, was played in the group by Rick Jordan and his sister Britt Maxim - she got female vocal parties. Celebrate the Nun released two records that did not gain much success, and the Baxter was sure that his dreams of crowded dance flooring had come to an end.

Perhaps this would have happened if it were not for a successful acquaintance with Jens the body, who offered young musicians to retrain from Sint-Pop command to the authors of remixes. The new group was first called The Loop, but the name Scooter appeared in M. In addition to the characters already familiar to us, Ferris Buller, a cousin of Baxter, joined the new project.

Musical historians and fans of Scooter unanimously divide the history of the group into chapters. True, the only thing that has changed from part to part is the composition of the participants, but not a musical style, as one could assume. It is curious that before the release of the debut album and nevertheless, each of the four single, released in support of the record, was included in the top ten hits not only in Germany, but also in Norway, Austria, Switzerland and other European countries.

At first, he claimed that he would take care of a solo career, but after some time he told the truth: they say that popularity was not on his shoulder. Be that as it may, instead of him, the DJs of Aksel Kun, who had already worked with Scooter in the studio and replaced Rick Jordan at several performances, was invited to the group. So in M ​​began the second chapter in the biography of Scooter.

In M axel, Kun went along the same path as the Buller, - preferred the individual work of the team. The place behind the turntable was taken by Jay Frog, who had previously been replaced by Kuna at some performances. It became obvious that if Scooter invites you to a couple of concerts, it is possible that in the future they will offer a place on an ongoing basis. This event became the first page in the third part of the history of Scooter.

The fourth chapter began in M ​​with the departure of Jay Frog and the arrival of Michael Simon. He did not participate in the concerts of SCOOTER before, but he wrote down the remixes on their tracks. In fairness, the new part lasted twice as long as the previous ones - as long as 8 years! One of the most pleasant achievements of Scooter is associated with this chapter.Jumping All Over the World, I am a record released on November 30, I was able to take the first place of the common album chart of Great Britain, squeezing the Madonna itself.

Perhaps 13 - and an unlucky number, but definitely not in this case. Bloodhound Hang, Sido, Status Quo and other famous artists who wanted to pay tribute to their beloved electronic workers took part in it. Curious, the artists represented different genres, and not exclusively house and other branches of dance music. In M Scooter, they invited to record a hymn for the hockey championship with a puck that was just held in Germany.

Unfortunately, the song did not reach a commercial triumph - she took only a place in the German charts, but remained in them for 12 weeks. Commercial failures continued in M ​​when Scooter began to release the singles in support of The Big Mash Up album. The popularity of the group fell before our eyes. There was a risk that not only a certain David, but also the participants of the SCOOTER group would starve.

Despite this, the record itself managed to enter the first twenty - in Germany The Big Mash Up managed to take the place. It would seem that the fall of the public interest should be an excellent help to start a new chapter, but it came only in a m. The reason for the new beginning was the departure of Rick Jordan, who spent 20 years as part of SCOOTER. After 20 fantastic years of hardcore, I realized that it was time to try something new.

Go in a new musical direction and spend more time with my family and friends. In order to emphasize that life continues, the group called the coming album The Fifth Chapter. Alas, Spicer spent only five years as part of the group - he became known about his departure in the new SCOOTER participant in SCOTER. It was not enough for a long time either. Having spent only a couple of years as part, Schilde became a kind of record holder: this team did not leave this team before or after.

Soon after his departure, Michael Simon, who spent a total of 14 years in the group, made a similar decision. The Anniversary Album of Scooter “God Save the Rave” was supposed to be published in M, but the planes of the Lord was a pandemic, not the salvation of the rave. The release itself and the tour in his support had to be postponed for a year - in the end, the album was released, but the tour did not take place.

Baxter nevertheless does not despair. First, he called back Jay Frog, then invited Mark Blow to cooperate to cooperate. Considering that the frontman itself for 60, it turns out that he is inferior to the young, although he himself does not depart from business. Scooter does not foresee the end of the path. For example, in an interview, he said this: I will make music, while it is fun, while it is needed, while people have fun and everything is fine.

To achieve the right to speak at popular festivals like Highfield, I had to go a long way. Not in my rules to drag on discos with hits written 30 years ago. Probably, once I just fall on stage dead. Eich Pi Baxter, the permanent frontman of Scooter is obvious that the group will have many more new chapters and, probably, the change of compositions. True, there is something that can be argued with absolute confidence: these chapters are unlikely to differ from each other with something except the composition.

And at the age of 80, the bacter will light the dance floors, protect the rave and drown for a happy-hardcor. Someone must do this.
