## Career

Lieb began his musical career at the age of fourteen as a [bassist](/source/Bassist) in [funk](/source/Funk) and [soul](/source/Soul_music) bands. However, he often left the bands he played in before they found any real success. Eventually he started exploring [electronic music](/source/Electronic_music).

His first record, under the alias 'Force Legato', was released by [ZYX Music](/source/ZYX_Music). In 1992, Lieb met Matthias Schindehutte, A&R man for the newly formed [Harthouse](/source/Harthouse) [record label](/source/Record_label), who contracted him for the Spicelab project. At the same time, Lieb started work on harder tracks, released using the alias [Psilocybin](/source/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](/source/Torsten_Fenslau)) and Azid Force (with Pascal Dardoufas, a.k.a. [Pascal F.E.O.S.](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pascal_F.E.O.S.&action=edit&redlink=1)).

In 1997, using the alias LSG, Lieb spent a week at No. 63 in the [UK Singles Chart](/source/UK_Singles_Chart) with "Netherworld".[2] In 2000, and using his own name, he appeared in the UK Singles Chart for one week at No. 72 with the track "Metropolis", billed as 'Oliver Lieb presents Smoked'.[3]
