>>28-11-2009 Scooter 20st time on The Dome:

Scooter have had their 20st performance on the German music show THE DOME. They performed a medley of "Ti Sento - The Sound Above My Hair" on THE DOME 52. They even got a THE DOME Award for their 20st performance !

>>14-11-2009 Tracklist TSAMH single:

1. TSAMH (Radio Edit) / 2. TSAMH (Electro Mix) / 3. TSAMH (Extended Version) / 4. Lucullus

The electro mix is unusual, but somehow sounds interesting. According to what I heared from the samples this electro mix is quite good. It's just different from other club mixes, but that shouldn't be a problem.
Lucullus is a great hardstyle B-side, I like the powerfull feeling it gives to the listener. It also reminds a bit of jumpstyle tracks, atleast the melody. Nice sound effects

>>4-11-2009 Scooter video was recorded in Werningerode:

Scooter are filming their video for "The sound above my hair" in the city of Wernigerode between the hours 6pm-11pm. Scooter are performing a rave party on a military truck on the Schlosstrasse (Castlestreet) that leads to Werningerode castle. According to this it will be a cool vid recorded in the dark in an ancient city, wow !! Can't wait to finally see it !!!

>>3-11-2009 Videoshoot for TSAMH today:

The videoshoot for the new Scooter single "The Sound Above My Hair" will take place tonight, Tuesday 3-11-2009. It's now officially confirmed that we will get a new, different, single version of this track. Just as we hoped and thought. I'm really curious how this new version will sound, because the album version is incredible!

>>30-10-2009 THE SOUND ABOVE MY HAIR next single! :

According to discomania.com & weltbild.de the 3rd single release from the UTROTT album will be "The Sound Above My Hair". This is great news for the fans, because we really hoped for a single release of this awesome track, and now we get it, 1 week before my birthday. Great news to start the weekend with!

>>26-10-2009 UK version of UTROTT will be different:

The UK version of the UTROTT album will have a different cover than the German one, there will be no radars on it and it will be a colour pic which shows the Scooter live experience. On the CD will be 14 tracks, 2 more as on the German release, so we all think the 2 extra tracks will be the 2 b-sides of the last 2 singles. As a bonus there's a DVD with all Scooter vids (except JAH & Ti Sento). The album will be released on 23-11-2009 in the UK and is already aviable fro pre-order.

>>18-09-2009 The Video for "Ti Sento":

The video is online already on Kontor's Myvideo channel. The video is set in the 1940s. Scooter drive in an Citroën through some streets with an opera singer in the car, they are her bodyguards. While the singer is performing on stage in the theatre, a mysterious woman comes in the building and goes up stairs. She starts to built a gun to use for killing the opera singer. HP, as a bodyguard, notices that a point of a gun is sticking out of the curtains and winks to Michael and Rick. They quickly run upstairs to catch the mysterious woman, and in the meantime HP runs to the stage to safe the opera singer. When the gun shoots, HP jumps in front of the opera singer to safe her. But it went wrong, because at the end of the video Scooter together with the opera singer are driving away from the venue, and you can see that she suddenly collapses in the car....so she probebly got killed, so HP didn't managed to safe her.

It's one of the best Scooter videos I have seen, great story, great effects, great locations, great colours. It's awesome !!! Thank you Scooter for this great vid, and ofcourse also for the great track,.Real quality !!! I love it !!

>>15-09-2009 The Album Teaser is online :

On Youtube and Myvideo you can find the album teaser for the new UTROTT album, in the teaser are shown parts of the "Ti Sento" video, it's a video with a story that is situated in an Opera building during the 1920/ 1930 s. Also one can see parts in it from what seems to be the 3rd video from this album. In these parts you can see HP together with Giedre (my favourite Lithuanian dancer) in a black room and in a white room, also there's a funny part where Rick looks at Giedre's bottom and smiles. Not all tracks can be heared in the teaser, because there are only 6 titles in it, and the album has 12 tracks.

>>15-09-2009 Scooter feat. Antonella Ruggiero :

According to the info that Michael Simon wrote on hid Myspace site, the new single of Scooter will feature the original singer of the "Ti Sento" track, Antonella Ruggiero. It seems that the single is a collaboration project, just like Scooter did last year with Status Quo. This sounds very interesting, because it's more than a cover of the chorus of "Ti Sento" in that case. Much people feared the chorus would have a HPV, but according to this info we get the 'normal' original voice. Maybe the singer is even in the video, in that case it would mean much extra promo for Scooter. Friday is the premier of the video in the show VIVA Live! on VIVA ..... I'm looking forward to that day!

>>12-09-2009 New single is "Ti Sento":

According to VIVA Teletext page 371, the next second Scooter single from the UTROTT album will be "Ti Sento". The video premier will be on Viva Live on Friday 18-09-2009, so already in one week. Never before in Scooter's career were 2 singles released so close to eachother. It's probably done to promote the album that will be released on 02-10-2009. I'm looking forward to next Friday already!

>> About the coverpicture of the "UTROTT" album <<

The photoshoot for the coverpicture took place on 15.08.2009 near Berlin. The location is called "Teufelsberg", which translated means "Devils Mountain". It was a former American NSA espionage site on an artificial hill, which was built by the Allies after the Second World War from the rubble of Berlin during during the following 20 year's as the city was rebuilt. I consider it to be the best Scooter coverpicture ever made, it's very classy and has a mysterious look and gives you also a mysterious feeling while looking at it. Scooter look like 3 spies,which fit's to the location, as it was a spy radar during the Cold War. A really great location, I hope the pics for the booklet were also taken there, that would be great, because I love this special location. On the right side you can see a part of the front cover, where you can see the Scooter spies !

>>10-08-2009 The Video

The video to "J'adore Hardcore" has been recorded in 3 country's. The parts with the 'shuffle' dancers Sarah & Pea were recorded in Australia. The live parts with Lithuanian dancers Giedre (my favourite dancer) & Gabija were recorded on an open-air concert in Differdange (Luxemburg) that took place on 16-07-2009. The parts of HP driving in the Jaguar were recorded in the end of July 2009 on Mallorca (Spain).

It's a very stylish video with a nice vibe in it. It's very relaxing to watch and is recorded in such a way that it gives one a feeling of high quality, a bit like some movies do. Most fans expected a more spectacular faster video for the track, but this one Scooter made fit's somehow very well to the track. I always get very relaxed while watching it.

>>02-08-2009 HP nearly got killed by a bomb!

Popstar H.P. Baxxter (43), head of the German techno band Scooter, was almost victims of the terrorist attack on Mallorca!

"I was only about an hour before the explosion at the police station in Palmanova, "says HP Baxxter to FIG. "I wanted to criminal charges, because the night before in my farm had been broken into. Because I had no translator with me and we barely understood, sent me away again. Otherwise I would be dead now, perhaps "

Baxxter came from the police station to the beach, called at his house manager. Baxxter: "I asked them to send me to organize a translator. A little later she called me back and said the matter would have probably done now. Before the police station was just a bomb explodes. "

A huge shock for the musician! Baxxter: "I did go out when the police cars in front of the guard seen. With the security, where the bomb was hidden. "

A1. Clubmix / A2. Extended Mix / B1. Megastylez Remix / B2. Eric Chase Remix

On Youtube is already a 1 minute teaser of the track. From what I heared the track has some similarities with the 2007 Scooter track The Shit That Killed Elvis , there is a dup dup chorus whose melody this time is covered from the Planet Funk Chase The Sun track.
