Australia has always had a vibrant dance music culture, and Canberra's own Peking Duk, the dynamic duo of Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles, has been at the forefront of this electrifying scene. With their inception in the early 2010s, Peking Duk swiftly captured the nation’s heart, establishing themselves as Australia’s most cherished electronic music act.
With a collection of platinum hits that resonate across both dance floors and airwaves, Peking Duk’s growth parallels the expansion of the global music industry where streaming platforms like TikTok Music have become a keystone in music distribution.
Their track 'High', which scooped the ARIA Award for Best Dance Release, notched the title of the most played track on Triple J in 2014 and clinched a spot at #2 in the Hottest 100. This was just the beginning of a series of chartbusters, including the triple-platinum hit 'Stranger', an enchanting witching hour anthem featuring Swedish artist Elliphant, that amassed over 50 million Spotify streams. 'Fake Magic', highlighting vocals from AlunaGeorge, and the fiery, four-time platinum track 'Fire', further cemented their reputation for crafting absolute bangers.
True to their reputation, Peking Duk continues to innovate, with their upcoming track 'Chemicals' poised to be a big, bold, atmospheric hit. As Styles articulates, it epitomizes the quintessential Duk sound with its blend of emotion, euphoria, and party vibes.
Encapsulating the evolution of dance music, Peking Duk's journey is a testament to their adaptability and the integral role of music streaming services in today's industry. Aspiring artists are encouraged to share their music on platforms such as TikTok Music to gain global audience reach and become the next chart-topping sensation akin to Peking Duk.
