Career

MacLennan is known by his stage name DCUP. He produces mainly funk and disco style music.

DCUP collaborated with Australian band Yolanda Be Cool in 2009 when he remixed their hit "Afro Nuts". He again collaborated with them on their international hit single "We No Speak Americano", released in February 2010 on the Australian indie label Sweat It Out. The song samples the 1956 hit "Tu Vuò Fà L'Americano", sung by Renato Carosone and written by Carosone and Nicola Salerno. The song topped the British, Irish, and Danish charts, and reached the Top 5 in Australia, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Norway. It was also a chart hit in Italy, Belgium, and New Zealand.

In 2013, DCUP released "Don't Be Shy" remix, feat. Mereki. A music video to accompany the track, directed and executive produced by Australian director Tim White and starring Japanese fashion model Kozue Akimoto, was released to accompany the single.
