Wikipedia article




"'Hyper Hyper'" is a song by German band Scooter. It was released in May 1994 as the first single from their first album '... and the Beat Goes On!', released in 1995. It was sold in three versions: two of the versions had the same track listings, but different covers. "Hyper Hyper" was one of the most successful dance hits of 1994.

The original "Hyper Hyper" quotes were taken from Ultra-Sonic's 1993 track "Annihilating Rhythm (Do you love your hardcore?)", licensed to Low Spirit Records/Polydor.[http://www.fantazia.org.uk/DJs/ultrasonic.htm Ultrasonic (PA / Old Skool / Rave / Hardcore)] Ultra-Sonic receive a "big shout" in the lyrics of the song, as do a further thirty DJs who were popular in Germany in the mid-1990s.

Critical reception



Pan-European magazine 'Music & Media' wrote, "In the wake of massive successes by DJs-turned-performers such as Marusha, Sven Vth, Westbam and Jam & Spoon, a new star is born. Produced by, a highly successful remixer collective, all ingredients are present to emulate the success of the aforementioned." They also described it as "hilarious" and "instantly catchy", noting that the track "deftly fused hardcore with a razor-sharp pop sensibility."
