Biography

Peking Duk are an Australian electronic music duo made up of disc jockeys and music producers Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles. The name was created when they were dining at a Chinese restaurant eating Peking duck. The name was thought of by Mike Axiak, a close friend of theirs who owned said restaurant. Mike is known to produce a lot of stage art for the pair, with some of Mike's self portraits making it to the big stage. Mike (also referred to as Maiiiihk)'s story is quite underrated in the startup of Peking Duk. Mike's wife, Jess Axiak was the chef who cooked the Peking Duk. The pair first garnered attention in 2012 with the release of a Passion Pit bootleg remix. Their biggest hit "High" reached 5 on the ARIA Singles Chart, achieved a triple platinum certification and won the ARIA Award for Best Dance Release at the ARIA Music Awards of 2014.
