"High" was the breakout for Peking Duk, the Australian electronic duo, released on Valentine's Day 2014 through Vicious Recordings as the lead single from their debut EP, Songs to Sweat To. It puts Nicole Millar's voice front and centre, all airy lift and ache, floating over a drop built for sweaty rooms and hands in the air.
Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles wrote and produced it with Millar and Sam Littlemore, and the payoff was big: number five on the ARIA chart, a triple platinum certification at home, a peak of 13 in New Zealand, and Best Independent Dance/Electronica or Club Single at the 2014 AIR Awards. It even turned up on the soundtrack of the football game Pro Evolution Soccer 2017.
