H.P. Baxxter
The track is a return to Scooter's old happy hardcore style with influences from both gabber and hardcore techno. Unlike their recent work from the albums "Under the Radar Over the Top" and "Jumping All Over the World", which has been strongly influenced by hardstyle and jumpstyle, respectively, "Friends Turbo" has a much higher BPM, easily fitting into the happy hardcore genre. The track is recognizably different from the 1995 original, as more lyrics from band vocalist H.P. Baxxter have been added, various other instruments have been introduced into the mix, and the drums/bassline has been completely reworked. The band also returns to their trademark high pitched vocal, this time slightly autotuned to fit the 2011 sound.
