Mastered by Sam Wills
- Silver BPI (UK)
Mike Mago and Dragonette's Outlines: number 8 on the UK Singles year-end chart, number 2 on UK Dance, certified Silver, and number 1 on Hype Machine before release.
Outlines came out on Spinnin' Records on 29 August 2014 (Armada Music holds the catalogue now).

The record finished 2014 at number 8 on the UK Singles year-end chart and number 2 on the UK Dance year-end chart, and was later certified Silver by the BPI.
