Scooter Rick Jordan was mainly responsible for co-composing, sound design aspects and melodic production elements for
Scooter until the beginning of 2014. He was doing the engineering mixdown for all Scooter and related productions from 1994 until he left the band. Jordan left Scooter around late 2013–early 2014, and his last concert with the band was on 24 January 2014 in Hamburg. From mid-2016 to early 2018 he produced instrumental music from the "Classical Crossover" genre together with the Bulgarian concert pianist and composer Alexander Raytchev. The first work, Glassmærchen, was premiered in Berlin on 15 December 2016. Since then Rick J. Jordan has been a producer, and as bassist he is a member of the indie rock formation Leichtmatrose. In 2020 Jordan produced a new version of the song "Nein, meine Söhne geb' ich nicht" by Reinhard Mey together with 17 other artists, including Reinhard Mey himself. The resulting music video asked for donations for the NGO Friedensdorf International in the credits and was viewed over 5.5 million times on Youtube (as of January 2022).
