Out (In Essence) is a live album by British electronica group Fluke, first released in August 2009.

[3] At this time it was also considered somewhat of a pioneering step for an electronic band to record a live album with band member Jon Fugler commenting, "Nobody believed a dance band could play live. It was a time when you didn’t know if the computer would last the whole show." [3]
