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.
Dupieux's first feature film, Steak, was released in France on June 20th, 2007. He also made the soundtrack in cooperation with Gaspard Augé from Justice.
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 2008 Mr. Oizo released his third album, Lambs Anger, containing solid, hard, over-compressed, in-your-face dance tracks. The Positif EP was released in November, which featured remixes from Mr. Flash and LFO (Low Frequency Oscillation)
In March of 2009 Mr. Oizo released the Pourriture EP, featuring a remix of Erreur Jean by Arveene and Misk as well as some "radical reworks" by Oizo himself. A remix of the track "Z" was released as a Beatport exclusive. Also included in the download was a short film by Oizo, titled "Making Lamb's Anger".
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.
In January of 2012 he started a music project with Boys Noize called Handbraekes.
In April of 2012 Mr. Oizo released an EP called Stade 3, which is available for free on the Internet. He also directed the Stade 3 Teaser where Flat Eric is starring again.
While in his time in America in November 2014, he produced a new album under the Brainfeeder Records called The Church.
He would return with Ed Banger Records in September of 2016 to make his sixth studio album All Wet featuring a pixelated Flat Eric as the cover art. This album features with artists like Tetanos, Peaches, Boys Noize, Phra, Skrillex, Siriusmo, Mocky, and Charli XCX.
End Of The World
Mr. Oizo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
僕らの真上で得意気に
太陽に覆い被さった その分厚い雲を
難なく突き破って消える
まるで流れ星にするように 僕らは見上げてた
思い思いの願いをその翼に重ねて
そう どんな世界の果てへも 気ままに旅して廻って」
行き止まりの壁の前で 何度も言い聞かせてみる
雲の合間 一筋の 光が差し込んでくる映像と君を浮かべて
捨てるのに胸が痛んでとっておいたケーキを
結局腐らせて捨てる
分かってる 期限付きなんだろう 大抵は何でも
永遠が聞いて呆れる
僕らはきっと試されてる どれくらいの強さで
明日を信じていけるのかを 多分 そうだよ
飲み込んで 吐き出すだけの 単純作業繰り返す
自動販売機みたいに この街にボーっと突っ立って
そこにあることで誰かが 特別喜ぶでもない
でも僕が放つ明かりで 君の足下を照らしてみせるよ きっと きっと
「誰が指図するでもなく 僕らはどこへでも行ける
そう どんな世界の果てへも 気ままに旅して廻って」
暗闇に包まれた時 何度も言い聞かせてみる
いま僕が放つ明かりが 君の足下を照らすよ
何にも縛られちゃいない だけど僕ら繋がっている
どんな世界の果てへも この確かな思いを連れて
The lyrics of Mr. Oizo's song "End Of The World" serenade listeners with the theme of hope and perseverance even in the toughest of times. The catchy, upbeat tempo of the song combined with the introspective lyrics emphasize the messiness of being human and the importance of facing our fears and weaknesses head-on.
The first verse, "If you’re free to leave, it's easy to stay but it's not always simple to do. Show off your weaknesses, misunderstand & be the worst version of you,” sheds light on the difficult art of vulnerability. The song urges listeners to embrace their true selves, without fear of judgment or ridicule.
The chorus, "It’s never the end of the world, it just stops for a minute while you unfurl," is a powerful reminder of the cyclical nature of life. Even when things seem impossible, it's important to remember that we are resilient and can bounce back from any situation. The song's overall message is to never give up, to keep pushing forward and to stand up for oneself.

This song is something I & many other skrilllex fans still listens to..
.

I seriously don't understand why the comment section says skrilllex fans are hating upon it.
.
.
.
Non skrilllex fans and nine year olds think skrilllex is all noise and dubstep.
Believe me they don't know a thing about sonny John Moore or edm.
Most probably all the people who have commented skrilllex fans are hating this track are probably dumb
.
.
Skrilllex is the only producer to have hits in almost all generes

*U STOP CRYING THAT SKRILLLEX
IS ONLY A FEATURE*

I work nights in a supermarket that played this song everyday for at least 6 months, then one day they stopped playing it and I realised how good of a song it is. I now have to listen to it at least once a week to feel normal.
