This is Peking Duk's second appearance at Rhythm and Vines. “It’s really a quintessential Duk song, and we’re excited to bring people some of that.” This June will see Hyde and Styles drop ‘Chemicals’, a big, bold, atmospheric hit that combines all the signatures of a classic Duk hit: “It’s got the emotion, the euphoria and the party,” says Styles. Swedish artist Elliphant (2016), which won them another ARIA and has since racked up over 50 million Spotify streams, and ‘Fake Magic’ (2017), featuring vocals by Aussie songstress AlunaGeorge to ‘Fire’ (2018), the four-time platinum track that is, quite literally, pure fire – the Peking Duk boys have unabashedly earned themselves a reputation as Australia’s most beloved, most bonkers electronic music act. With a discography that features platinum single after platinum single – from the ARIA Award-winning, four-times platinum single ‘High’ (2014), which was the #1 most played track on triple j that year while coming it at #2 in the Hottest 100, to the triple-platinum witching hour anthem ‘Stranger’ ft. This is WILKINSON's sixth appearance at Rhythm and Vines.Ĭanberra natives Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles, are back with brand new music that builds on their back catalogue of absolute bangers. Marking 4 years since his last appearance at Waiohika, it’s a return that we’ve all been waiting for.
At points it’s gentle, emotional and sincere, but it’s also riddled with a vibe that ensures all tunes will work on the dancefloor and vitality that won him the scene’s affection in the first place. Collaborating with artists close to him including a rekindling with the unstoppable Becky Hill on “Here For You”, his partner Iiola on the euphoric “Close Your Eyes” and powerhouses Kanine & Clementine Douglas on “No One Else”, he’s achieved one of drum & bass’ holy grails: a fully dancefloor-aimed album that never dips in tempo or diverts away from D&B, yet never crosses over into the classic ‘collection of bangers’ sensation so many D&B albums end up as. After 10 years at the top of the game and headlining festivals around the world, he shows no sign of stopping off the back of his critically acclaimed fourth album, Cognition.
One of the leading names in dance music, WILKINSON has cemented himself as one of the most influential names in dance music history.
