Raver's Nature

Raver's Nature was a German electronic dance music project known primarily for producing Hard Trance and Happy Hardcore. The group consisted of Markus "Roy" Ströbel, Peter Luft (also known as Pedro Ferrari), and Ralf Lindner (aka John Bogota), all hailing from Hof (Saale). The idea for Raver's Nature emerged around 1989 during the Acid-House wave, with Ströbel and Luft beginning their DJ careers in 1990, later teaming up with Lindner. They first gained attention with their early 1990s releases, including their debut track *Lost in Space* under the name Spirit of Tekknology, and rose to prominence with singles like *Take Off!* and *Stop Scratchin’* in 1995, which charted in Germany and Switzerland and were featured on music TVV channels such as VIVA.

Their debut album *La Monza* came out in 1995, and songs like *Bring Me Noise!* and *Somebody Scream* continued their chart success. Though their mainstream presence dwindled after the late 1990s, they still made appearances at major electronic music festivals like Mayday and Nature One. Sadly, Ralf Lindner passed away in a tragic accident in 2021. Raver's Nature's legacy remains strong among fans of 90s German rave and electronic dance music, and their catalog includes notable releases such as *Hands Up Ravers* and *World Of Happiness* as seen in their more recent works.
