Planet Perfecto

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

Introduction

Their first release was Georgie Girl on 12" vinyl in 1997; the single did not make it into the UK single charts. However, their next track, Not Over Yet '99, was very successful in dance music terms by going in at number 16 on the 8th of August, 1999. They worked with a fourth producer, Matt Darey, and vocalist Grace to create the track, which was to be the first of four hits for the group.

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> and Masterson with Flexifinger. Paul Oakenfold was often viewed as being the main force behind "Planet Perfecto", but this is probably due to the fact that Paul was more of a household name; being very successful as a DJ and having hits under numerous guises.

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.
