Baxxter’s multi-faceted contributions include jury roles on TV casting shows and endorsements for major brands, underscoring the band’s enduring cultural significance.
In the UK, they made waves in the ’90s and ’00s, even going on to score a Number 1 album in 2008 with the iconic “Jumping All Over The World”. Over on the singles front, they dominated in 2002 with “Ramp! (The Logical Song)”, claiming the Number 2 position, just behind Elvis vs. JXL with “A Little Less Conversation” and again behind Gareth Gates’ “Anyone of Us (Stupid Mistake)”, they followed that up with a Number 4 in the same year for their single “Nessaja”.
Scooter has continued to show that they are techno legends, building a legacy like no other.
