Planet Perfecto
Planet Perfecto were a dance supergroup, formed in 1997 by Paul Oakenfold, Ian Masterson and Jake Williams. They were signed to Oakenfold's record label, Perfecto Records.
[edit] Career
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; being 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.
