O.Lieb

Frankfurt based DJ & producer Oliver Lieb was born in 1969. Since 1988 he is involved in the production of electronic music. No matter if it‘s Techno, House, Electro or just „electronic music“, within 17 years and the release of more than 200 singles including remixes for Faithless, Moby, Snap, Yello, Human League, Mory Kante, Utah Saints (to name just a few) Oliver made it into the premier league of international Producers. He always keeps surprising and amazing people with his extraordinary sounds and diversity.
At the age of 14 he started playing bass in several Funk/Soul/Jazz bands. Oliver also got in touch with electronic music (Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk,Yello, Jean-Michel Jarre) and discovered a new and an endless horizon of expressing himself.
In late 1989 Oliver’s first record FORCE LEGATO “System” was released by Dorian Gray resident DJ Torsten Fenslau on his Abfahrt label. The single gained great worldwide reactions and almost hit the official German charts. In the years to follow Oliver released everything in the electronic genres from downtempo and chill-out to hard experimental techno and trance.
His project Spicelab on Sven Väth’s legendary Harthouse label established a platform for his highly appreciated sounds, which developed into one of the most important projects of the label including the release of three full length albums.
Soon it was clear that Oliver’s creativity was far away from reaching it’s limits and as Oliver never wanted to focus on just one specific genre he simply created several pseudonyms for each of his different styles. His LSG and Paragliders releases on Superstition Rec. are still considered as one of the most influencing and timeless trance projects and were developed for more than 10 years and 5 Albums. His maxis and albums were licensed on Hooj Choons, Yoshitoshi, Platipus, Duty Free, Magik Muzik and many others…
After leaving Superstition in 2004 it was time for doing something new especially since the whole music scene went through big changes and somehow redefined itself. After locking himself into his studio to create new sounds and going into all kind of different directions Oliver announced the start of his own label “Maschine” in summer 2005...
