texts - interview with h.p


Look at the charts and you'll learn that Germany is the number one producer of Hardcore House, U96, Marusha and the horrible Mark'Oh. And of course, Scooter.

What does that stand for?
- I think that sums up the whole rave-scene. Bigger! Bigger!

Did the success surprise you?
- Yes, it did, because it all started as a joke. We have been remixing as The Loop for years for artists like Adeva, Toni Di Bart and Holly Johnson. We had written an instrumental track to play before a gig, to warm up the audience. During the track I decided to shout 'Hyper Hyper'. Well, the audience went wild!

You find the german underground-scene horrible?
- Yeah, people like Marusha and Westbam. I think it's a diversionary maneuver. They themselves have commercial success, and by talking bad about us it seems to the outside world that they are really the only ones who make good underground hardcore music. You know, it's always the same when a track becomes really successful, the underground scene doesn't like it anymore.

Are you still doing remixes or are you totally focused on Scooter now?
- No, we're remixing the new Marky Mark single now. It was a slow song but we're transforming it into a really hard and fast breakbeat track!

Why do germans score so many electronic hits?
- I think it's typical german, this synthesizer-dance. Groups like Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream are our roots. German music is always kept simple, but it's very catchy!
