Quentin Dupieux, known for his Levi's advert and hit single "Flat Beat" as Mr. Oizo, ventured into electronic music with a fresh, playful approach that stood out from mainstream trends. His midtempo techno production featured distorted effects and a lovable yellow puppet, setting the stage for a string of innovative and influential releases in the left-field dance music scene. Dupieux's early career in short films and music videos paved the way for his unique style, drawing attention from notable figures in the French music industry.

Transitioning from directing to music production, Dupieux released his debut single on Laurent Garnier's label, leading to the iconic Levi's commercial that propelled "Flat Beat" to chart-topping success across Europe. His subsequent albums, including Analog Worms Attack and Moustache (Half a Scissor), showcased a shift towards glitchy, experimental sounds that captivated a niche audience and influenced a new wave of French dance producers. Collaborations with artists like Uffie and Gaspard Augé of Justice further solidified Mr. Oizo's place as a boundary-pushing force in electronic music, culminating in diverse releases like Stade 2 and All Wet.
