After “Flat Beatâ€, 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.
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. Contained within are solid, hard, over-
compressed, in-your-face dance tracks. Its bizarre and unique mix of elements reminiscent of old
skool, hard techno, mixed with the quirk in dance music. In that very same month the Positif EP was
relased. It featured remixes from Mr. Flash and LFO (Low Frequency Oscillation) « hide |
