his sound was just so different and unique it was actual trance music

So it's either his remix of "Chloe Harris - Skooch" or "Solieb - On the button/We are moving" or "Solieb - Halo/The Drums".
Gotta say that I haven't been a fan of any of the Solieb productions, but some of his older tech trance, trance and techno productions I regard as some of the best music I've ever heard.

Hmm wanted to add a youtube vid of Mindspace - Mindcontrol from 2000 but it appears there wasn't any to be found. I used to play that one a lot when it came out.
surprised no one has mentioned this track yet; when i thinkn "oliver lieb" i think of this remix:

funniest oliver lieb story ever.
he got booked to play a mostly house based club called stereo here.
he got reamed and everyone hated his set...he went on a tenaglia style rant on a l;ocal website making him look like an even bigger douche than he is.
ok, it wasn't funny.

I have a similar Lieb story.
He was booked in an mostly trance oriented event here along with names like Above & Beyond, David West, Miika Kuisma, Dallas Superstars, Adam White and Sander van Doorn. Before the gig he already had more than enough problems with the customs, the transportation and after all the hassle he ended up arriving very much late for his gig, only finding out he had been given a spot in a ridiculously small side room while the trance jocks got to play on the main arena.
How the hell did the organizers think a banging full on techno set would go together with happy happy uplifting trance and mcprog anyway? I was there witnessing how Lieb was spinning for a nearly empty dance floor while the trance jocks on the main arena got all the crowd at the same time.
I talked with Lieb afterwards and he said thanks to all the numerous issues during his arrival and the crappy spot in a "candy trance" event, he will most likely never return to Finland, at least not for any big event. And he hasn't.

I remember this 1993 one, loved it back then, especially the piano @3:10 :

not a big loss. i love techno, but oliver lieb as a dj is beyond horrible. if anything it goes to show you that producing and performance are not even in the same area code.
