==Oakenfold, Masterson & Williams==
Before forming Planet Perfecto, all three producers had made their names in the dance music scene under different guises. Most notably Jake Williams as [[JX (artist)|JX]]<ref>http://www.discogs.com/artist/Jake+Williams</ref>> and Masterson with [[Flexifinger]]<ref>http://www.discogs.com/artist/Ian+Masterson</ref>.

==Today==
Unlike their pop group & band counterparts, dance acts don't tend to officially "split" but it can be assumed that Planet Perfecto have disbanded due to a lack of a single being released since 2001. All three producers have also undertaken many independent projects since their last single.

Planet Perfecto was a dance supergroup, formed in 1997 by Paul Oakenfold, Ian Masterson and Jake Williams. They were signed to Oakenfold's record label, Perfecto Records.

Musical career

[edit]

Their first release was "Georgie Girl" on 12" vinyl in 1997; the single did not make it into the UK Singles Chart.[1] However, their next track, "Not Over Yet '99", was more successful entering the UK chart at #16 in August 1999.[2] They worked with a fourth producer, Matt Darey on the track, a remix/re-edit of "Not Over Yet" by Grace to create the track, which was to be the first of four hits for the group. Oakenfold had previously been a member of Grace.

Before forming Planet Perfecto, all three producers had made their names in the dance music scene under different guises. Most notably Jake Williams as JX[3] and Masterson with Flexifinger.[4] Paul Oakenfold was often viewed as being the main force behind "Planet Perfecto", but this is probably because he was more of a household name, having been successful as a DJ and having hits under numerous guises.[5] Planet Perfecto have not released any further material since 2001. All three producers have undertaken independent projects since that time.
