About

With 13 LPs and over 300 EPs released on iconic labels such as Harthouse, Superstition, Data Records, Hooj Choons, and Yoshitoshi, Oliver Lieb has been a driving force in electronic music for more than three decades.
He has remixed a wide range of artists—from globally recognized acts like Faithless, The Human League, Moby, and Yello to rising talents shaping the future of the scene.

Under influential aliases including L.S.G., Paragliders, S.O.L., The Ambush, and others—as well as under his own name—Oliver has explored and defined a broad spectrum of underground electronic genres.
His work spans techno, trance, house, and ambient, all while developing a signature sound that is instantly recognizable and deeply respected.

Oliver began touring internationally as a live-act in 1992. In 1997, he transitioned to DJing to enjoy a more direct connection with the audience—a move that took him to some of the biggest clubs and festivals across the globe.
From Australia, Mexico, Argentina, Japan, Hong Kong, the USA, and Canada to every corner of Europe, he has consistently delivered powerful and unforgettable performances.

In addition to his studio and stage work, Oliver offers professional mastering services, applying his decades of technical expertise to help other artists achieve polished, release-ready tracks.

In 2023 and 2024, Oliver returned to the DJ booth, performing at clubs and events across Europe.

In 2024, he started a collaboration with Superstition Records, focusing on bringing his extensive back catalogue to the digital world.

Since early 2025, he has been regularly releasing remastered versions of his classic tracks – available on his Bandcamp profile and across all shops and platforms via Superstition Rec.

Currently, Oliver is focused on carefully restoring and remastering his archive of past releases, while also offering music production courses and one-on-one mentoring to the next generation of producers.

In addition, he is actively working on a wide range of mastering projects through his mastering and vinyl cutting company.

Once the archiving work is complete, he’s looking forward to returning to the studio to create and release brand-new music.

In 1999, Oliver launched his first label platform with the Lithium EP by Paragliders, and began releasing music under his real name – starting with the iconic Subraumstimulation on Ministry of Sound’s in-house imprint, Data Records.

Following the closure of the influential label Superstition, Oliver redefined his artistic path by founding his techno label Maschine in 2005.

In 2010, he launched Solieb Digital, a platform dedicated to re-releasing remastered versions of his classic productions.

His first appearance on John Digweed’s Bedrock label came in 2011 with two EPs, followed by the 2012 collaborative compilation Collaborations as The Audible Suspects, created with Jimmy Van M.

In late 2017, Oliver reactivated his legendary project L.S.G., starting with a remix of his 1994 classic Netherworld, followed by the critically acclaimed double album DOUBLE VISION—both released on Bonzai Records.

The momentum continued in 2018 with new releases on Bedrock, Christian Smith’s Tronic Music, and Bonzai, as well as performances on both weekends of Tomorrowland (Belgium).

In 2019, Oliver released more material via Tronic, Bedrock, Phobiq, and debuted on Secret Cinema’s Gem Records.

In 2020, he released the Atomo EP on Spektre’s Respekt Recordings.
During the global lockdown, Oliver shifted focus toward education – collaborating with a startup to develop an interactive course in audio and music production, a project he continued working on through 2023.

With his releases, DJ sets, and guest mixes on renowned radio shows like Transitions, Tronic Radio, and GEM FM, Oliver continues to cement his position at the forefront of contemporary electronic music—remaining a true original, a driving creative force, and an enduring source of inspiration for producers and listeners alike.
