Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber first met in school, and began experimenting with tape machines, Indian music, and poetry lyrics, under the name of Dehli9. After school, Dorfmeister and Huber went their separate ways: Dorfmeister began producing and DJing with Peter Kruder, and Huber worked in the experimental music scene. His compositions were featured by Wiener Festwochen (Private Exile, 2004), Centre Pompidou (Sonic Process, 2002) and Ars Electronica (Radiotopia, 2002) as well as in TV series (C.S.I.: Miami, Sex and the City) and radio (signations for the ORF – Austrian Broadcasting Company).
In 1994, Dorfmeister and Huber released their first 12", entitled "Chocolate Elvis", on Kruder and Dorfmeister's G-Stone label. A string of critically acclaimed albums and remix collections followed - Opera (1996), Suzuki (1999), Dehli9 (2002) J.A.C. (2005) and No Hassle (2009) are considered milestones of the downtempo genre. The musical trademark of Tosca is a cheerful laid-back feel that emanate a warm, and occasionally melancholic atmosphere. The music of Tosca is played in clubs and living rooms, boutiques and wineries alike.
Lots of the singles and their ensuing remixes were released as remix albums - i.e. Souvenirs - The J.A.C. Remixes, Suzuki in Dub, Chocolate Elvis Dubs or the “Fuck Dub” remix collection - and featured on countless compilations. Tosca has performed in live shows in the USA, South America and Europe, including such prominent festivals as Coachella (Palm Springs, USA) and the Ars Electronica Festival (Linz, Austria). In 2001, Tosca was honored with Austria’s Amadeus Music Award as best Pop/Rock group. In 2009 the release of No Hassle saw Tosca move into more ambient soundscapes and the world of live instrumentation. In 2013 their sixth studio album Odeon featuring vocalists Sarah Callier, Rodney Hunter and JJ Jones was released on their longtime home of !K7 Records.

The lyrics of Tosca's song Worksong convey the message of perseverance, dedication, and commitment towards work. The lyrics "keep on pushing" and "keep on working" indicate the need for continuous effort and hard work in order to achieve one's goals. The repetition of the phrase "keep on" emphasizes the importance of persistence, even when faced with obstacles and challenges.
The line "Healthy fishbone" is open to interpretation, but it could be seen as a metaphor for a strong and resilient work ethic. A fishbone is a strong and durable material, and having a "healthy" one would indicate a strong foundation for hard work.
The final line, "now where is that motherfucker?" could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could be seen as a playful jab at someone who doubted the singer's ability to work hard, or as a way of expressing frustration with a difficult colleague or boss.
Overall, the lyrics of Worksong encourage listeners to persevere in the face of adversity and to maintain a strong work ethic in order to achieve success.
