Scooter
H.P. Baxxter's German hardcore-rave institution, whose complete tonal mismatch with a rock festival is exactly the point — 'Hyper Hyper', forever.
Scooter formed in Hamburg in 1993 and has been led throughout by H.P. Baxxter, whose shouted, heavily accented vocal catchphrases sit on top of hard rave synths, four-to-the-floor kicks and sped-up breakdowns. The group's early single "Hyper Hyper" established the template, and they have worked through happy hardcore, eurodance, hardstyle and jumpstyle variations since.
Scooter has been a fixture of European dance charts for decades and remains best known in the German-speaking world and the UK. The live show leans into the absurdity of the format, with Baxxter delivering his monologues over the drops.
