Dupieux is most famous for his electro track "Flat Beat", which became a hit all across Europe in 1999 for being featured in a series of Levi's jeans TV advertisements. Dupieux also directed the ad, which featured a yellow puppet named Flat Eric nodding his head to the sound of the track while riding in a pickup truck. Flat Eric later appeared in the music video for "Flat Beat".
Dupieux released his first EP's "#1" and "M-Seq" on F Communications in 1997. After "Flat Beat", Oizo released his first album in 1999, Analog Worms Attack, featuring a single of the same name.
In 2005, Oizo released his second album entitled Moustache (Half a Scissor).
In 2006 and 2007, Oizo produced remixes for Kavinsky, Jamelia, Cassius, Scissor Sisters and, most recently, Calvin Harris.

In 2007, Mr. Oizo's Transexual EP was released on Ed Banger Records. The EP features a re-working of the 1979 disco track "Do It At The Disco" by Gary's Gang. The track appeared on Oizo's MySpace page in 2006 under the title Patrick122.

In November of 2011, Mr. Oizo followed up Lambs Anger with Stade 2, a new release for Ed Banger Records. Slowly releasing the album through club nights and Twitter, Stade 2 further refines the style that he displayed on Lambs Anger, providing tracks for headphones and the dance floor.

The lyrics to Mr. Oizo's "De Luca" are pretty straightforward and explicit, as they describe individuals who are defecating, urinating, and vomiting on the floor. While these lyrics may seem vulgar and meaningless, it's essential to remember that music is not always meant to be taken at face value. Instead, the song could be interpreted as a satirical commentary on societal vices or a criticism of hedonism.
Furthermore, the repetition of the lyrics also creates a hypnotic effect that can be interpreted as a metaphorical representation of how people get lost in their excesses. The song could also be a reflection of the dark and seedy underground spaces found in cities where people engage in reckless behavior.
On the other hand, it's important to note that not all songs have deep meanings, and Mr. Oizo is known for incorporating nonsensical and absurdist elements in his work. Ultimately, the meaning of the song is left up to interpretation, and it's up to the listener to decide its significance.
