Peking Duk
Band Australian Capital Territory Formed 2010
Peking Duk formed in 2010 in Australian Capital Territory, Australia. Peking Duk has 11 chart appearances on 9 radio countdowns from 1 station on RockLists, spanning 2014–2025. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “High”, which appears on 3 lists with a best position of #2. The station that charted Peking Duk most often is Triple J (Australia (national)), with 11 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2014.
Peking Duk is the Canberra duo of Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles, a pair of DJs and producers who first got people talking in 2013 with a bootleg remix of Passion Pit. What they make is house and electro house built for the festival tent: big, fizzing synth drops, pop hooks you can scream along to, and a sense of fun that never lets up.
"High" is the big one, a euphoric, hands-in-the-air rush that went to number 5 on the ARIA Singles Chart, went triple platinum and took the ARIA Award for Best Dance Release. It sits on the Songs to Sweat To EP from 2015 alongside "Take Me Over" and "Say My Name", and more followed: "Stranger" in 2016, "Let You Down" in 2017, "Fire" from the Reprisal EP and "Wasted" in 2018, and "Chemicals" in 2021. Their Like a Version take on "Fall at Your Feet" showed a softer side, and the festival circuit, from Falls and Spilt Milk to Splendour in the Grass and Big Day Out, has been their natural habitat.
