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[3]> and Masterson with Flexifinger[4]. Paul Oakenfold was often viewed as being the main force behind "Planet Perfecto", but this is probably because Paul was more of a household name; being very successful as a DJ and having hits under numerous guises[5].
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.
