Rave Allstars

Rave Allstars is a German Hands Up act formed in 2001 by producers Jens Ophälders, Paul Hutsch, and Steffen Müller-Gärtner. This collaboration began, more or less by accident, with the aim of recreating Steffen Müller’s Happy Hardcore classic, the 1994 track I Need Your Love.

This initiative marked the start of one of the most successful and fun collaborations in the dance scene. The trio quickly achieved success with tracks like Hardcore Feelings and More Than Words, which became staples on European dance floors. Their unique talent also shone through on highly appreciated B-sides such as Braucht Ihr Mehr?, Achtung Spaß!, or Sound Ey!, which captured the essence of the dance community by integrating humorous themes into energetic productions.

From mid-2004 onwards, Steffen Müller-Gärtner was no longer part of the project. The duo formed by Jens Ophälders and Paul Hutsch continued the string of hits in 2005 with the success Hardcore Vibes, accompanied by the hardstyle anthem Satt!. Their more recent release, Wonderful Days, also resonated widely.

As DJs and producers, Jens Ophälders and Paul Hutsch also perform live, blending their energetic productions with absolute dance classics. The project is known under a few name variations such as Rave All Star, Rave All Stars, or Raves Allstars.
