Biography
Oliver Lieb has been at the forefront of electronic music for almost a quarter of a century. With ten LPs under his belt, plus over a hundred EPs, with singles on such legendary labels as Harthouse, Superstition, Platipus, Hooj Choons, Yoshitoshi, Bedrock… he has remixed everyone from stadium-filling acts like Faithless, The Human League, Moby, and Yello, to the best up and coming producers in the underground scene. Releasing music under many aliases, including L.S.G., Paragliders, S.O.L., The Ambush, Lieb has covered the full spectrum of underground techno, house, trance, and ambient sounds, and continued to evolve his own distinctive style and presence that is immediately felt, with his productions.
Lieb launched his own label Maschine in 2005 to create an outlet that wouldn’t try to curb or commercialise his creativity in the studio. The past decade has witnessed its growth into a well respected label on the scene, allowing him to release his own material, and also to give a platform for like-minded producers.
In 2007 he took the natural step of offering mastering and vinyl-cutting services, updating his studio to allow him to guarantee that both his own productions and those of his clients enjoy the highest possible sound quality. More recently, he founded Solieb Digital, as a plaftorm for re-releasing remasterings of his classic material, along with previously unreleased material.
As a DJ, Lieb continues to rock some of the biggest clubs and festivals in the world. In 2012 he teamed up with Jimmy van M to piece together the Audible Suspects mix album for Bedrock, a compilation which received fantastic reactions from music fans and critics around the world.
With recent releases and remixes on Proton, Flow Vinyl, Parquet, Tulipa and microCastle, Lieb continues to cement his position at the cutting edge of contemporary music. With two albums in the works, and a compilation forthcoming on Solieb Digital to mark his 25 years in the industry, he remains a true original, a creative force, and an inspiration to many.
