Scooter is a successful German dance band. The band is currently made up of H.P. Baxxter, Rick J. Jordan and new member Michael Simon.

German techno group Scooter was formed in 1994 by by H.P Baxxter, Rick Jordan and Ferris Bueller, who together with producer Jens Thele previously joined forces as the remix team the Loop; during the 1980s, Baxxter and Jordan also scored a series of club hits as Celebrate the Nun. Debuting with the single "Vallei de Larmes," Scooter scored their breakthrough hit with the follow-up "Hyper Hyper," which sold over 700,000 copies in Germany alone.

A series of Top Five hits followed, including "Move Your Ass", "Friends" and "Endless Summer" (all later collected on the trio's 1995 debut LP "... And the Beat goes on; with 1996's “Our Happy Hardcore”, Scooter also scored their first British Top 20 hit, "Back in the U.K.". “Wicked” appeared later that same year, and featured the techno-ballad "Break It Up"; in the wake of 1997's Age of Love, Bueller exited Scooter, and was replaced by Axel Coon for No Time to Chill. Back to the Heavyweight Jam followed in 1999...

But the group's rich production of albums didn't stop there, in 2000 Scooter have released an unpredictable success "Sheffield". Singles on the disk were in the European charts on top positions for a long time. In 2001 there was a new shock for everybody as Scooter has made something special-"We Bring The Noise". This album has been called as a bizarre music style album by some critics but it truly is a beauty...

Scooter has sold over 12 million records and has earned 60 gold and platinum awards.
Scooter announced that their 13th studio album “Jumpin' All Over The World” will be released on November 30, 2007, and that it would contain both “The Question Is What Is The Question” and the forthcoming single “And No Matches”, which is to be released on 23 November. Many fans of the band are worried that the title of the album allures to an excessive inclusion of jump style tracks, as Scooter albums are known for their variety.
