Early Works
Agent X first came to success in 2001 when their debut single "Decoy", initially made as a college project, became one of the biggest Dance records of the year selling 12,000 on white label before later releasing through Warner Music. Until this day "Decoy" is considered a UK Garage classic and has made Kiss 100's DJ EZ's successful series of Pure Garage compilation CDs featured on several editions including Pure Garage Classics: Mixed Live by DJ EZ. Since their formation in 2001 the team have been responsible for a series of successful mainstream UK releases including songs with Tinie Tempah, Skepta Ironik, H "Two" O, Dappy from N-Dubz, and Mutya Buena formerly in Sugababes as well as having several official and unofficial remix credits on many American top 10 Billboard recording artists including Ne-Yo, Mariah Carey, Taio Cruz, Jason Derulo, and Keri Hilson.
