Scooter

It all started out in the early 1990s, a time when Techno was on a peak of popularity. They came from out of nowhere with a track called 'Hyper Hyper' and had an incredible success with it and the following debut album '…and the beat goes on'. With every new track that would be crafted in the sonic factory of SCOOTER, the trio would be gaining more, even international recognition. Nowadays SCOOTER is deemed a phenomenon as a band out of the Techno genre that is still alive and kicking long after the wave has subsided, not to a little part owed to the fact they're continuously weaving different elements in their sound. In the live circuit they're known for being even more of a sensation with a spectacular lightshow and the inflammation of the audience with the never-ceasing fire of passion dwelling within their souls.

They've used the so called "Christmas Break" for creating the second album 'Der Film', released in June 2009 which has been composed as an aural thriller of the finest kind for your listening pleasure.
