Editing Oliver Lieb (section)

==Career==
Lieb began his musical career at the age of fourteen as a [[bassist]] in [[funk]] and [[soul music|soul]] bands. However, he often left the bands he played in before they found any real success. Eventually he started exploring [[electronic music]].

His first record, under the alias 'Force Legato', was released by [[ZYX Music]]. In 1992, Lieb met Matthias Schindehutte, A&R man for the newly formed [[Harthouse]] [[record label]], who contracted him for the Spicelab project. At the same time, Lieb started work on harder tracks, released using the alias [[Psilocybin]]. 1993 saw his first releases under the alias L.S.G. on the Hamburg-based Superstition record label, which he discontinued in 2007; in 2015, Lieb announced the reactivation of the project. In 1994, he first co-operated with Harald Großkopf (whom he later also performed with live), releasing tracks using the alias The Ambush. Numerous other aliases were developed by Lieb during the 1990s; these included 23 different aliases as a solo artist, including Paragliders and Superspy, and twenty-two aliases for different groups and collaborations, including Force Legato (with [[Torsten Fenslau]]) and Azid Force (with Pascal Dardoufas, a.k.a. [[Pascal F.E.O.S.]]).

In 1997, using the alias LSG, Lieb spent a week at #63 in the [[UK Singles Chart]] with "Netherworld".<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums 2">{{cite book |first=David |last=Roberts |year=2006 |title=British Hit Singles & Albums |edition=19th |publisher=Guinness World Records Limited |location=London |isbn=1-904994-10-5 |page=310}}</ref> In 2000, and using his own name, he appeared in the UK Singles Chart for one week at #72 with the track "Metropolis", billed as 'Oliver Lieb presents Smoked'.<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums">{{cite book |first=David |last=Roberts |year=2006 |title=British Hit Singles & Albums |edition=19th |publisher=Guinness World Records Limited |location=London |isbn=1-904994-10-5 |page=320}}</ref>
