In the late 1980s, electronic dance music was already shaping cities and cultures across Europe. In the United States, the sound was still underground, fragmented, and largely unknown. What existed was powerful, but it had yet to find its way into the mainstream.

The story began in 1988, when Scorpion first started bringing electronic music home from Europe. At just twelve years old, he returned from his travels with records, tapes, and later CDs that had not yet reached American radio or clubs. Those sounds became the foundation of something new.

He began sharing that music with friends, mixing tracks, recording tapes, and DJing small house parties. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a reputation for introducing music people had never heard before.

RaveGear was officially founded in 1995 to help bring that sound forward at a larger scale. The mission was not simply to host events, but to create a foundation where electronic music could grow, connect people, and stand alongside any major cultural movement.

As founder and resident DJ, Scorpion turned those early house parties into hundreds of events and thousands of performances. Crowds grew from living rooms and college gatherings into nightclubs, warehouses, and large venues across the United States and beyond.

RaveGear hosted and shared stages with many of the most influential artists in electronic music, including Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox, Frankie Bones, Josh Wink, Joey Beltram, Keoki, Dieselboy, Cosmic Gate, Commander Tom, Christopher Lawrence, Q Bert, DJ Craze, and many more. Each event became a meeting point for artists, fans, and a scene still defining itself.

Beyond DJ culture alone, RaveGear embraced production, live musicians, and hybrid performances. Violins, saxophones, drums, keyboards, and studio production expanded the experience so that every show was more than a beat. Studios in the United States and Europe supported a growing catalog of original music.

RaveGear remains part of that history. Not as a moment frozen in time, but as a reflection of what happens when music, culture, and community align. It was built on passion, driven by belief, and shaped by the idea that the right sound, in the right place, can change everything in the room.
