Paragliders

Paragliders is a name that's resonated within the electronic music scene, predominantly known for their contributions to the trance and techno genres. The entity behind Paragliders was largely driven by the creative prowess of Oliver Lieb, a prolific German DJ and producer, who also made music under various other aliases. The project emerged in the mid-1990s as a part of the burgeoning club scene and quickly gained recognition for its distinctive sound that blended driving beats with melodic syntheses, capturing the euphoria that permeated dancefloors around the world.

Throughout the years, Paragliders has released a series of tracks that have become staples in the repertoires of many DJs. Tracks such as "Share of Bitterness" and the "Lithium EP" showcased the project's ability to craft immersive soundscapes that resonate well beyond the immediate moment of listening. The single "Infra Rouge" marked a continued evolution in their sound, which remained true to the roots of trance while reflecting the shifting tastes and technologies shaping electronic music. "Change Me" displayed their knack for infectious melodies, while "Oasis" provided a lush auditory journey fitting of its name. "Paraglide," along with their other tracks, helped cement Paragliders’ legacy as a touchstone in the electronic music community, influencing a generation of producers and delighting fans across the globe.
