As of 2023, he is the only New Zealand dance music producer to have produced over eleven number-one singles on the Australian ARIA Club chart.[7] His breakthrough single "Dreams" also spent seven weeks at number one on the ARIA club chart, which gave the Kiwi producer his longest run at the top, making him the only New Zealander to ever accomplish this.[8]
In 2022, his followup single to "Dreams" came out in September - "I Just Want Your Touch" which saw him collaborate with hit singer Stanley. The single went straight to #1 on the ARIA club chart and held the top spot for five weeks consecutively plus adds to radio in Australia.[9]
Petch's single "Spinning Around" was released on February 10, 2023, on TMRW Music and reached #1 on the ARIA Club Chart on its release day and has held the top spot for four weeks in a row. The track is a cover version of Kylie Minogue's "Spinning Around" and has received positive reviews for its upbeat energy and catchy chorus.[9] The single reached #3 on the New Zealand Top 40 'Hot NZ Singles Chart' [10] and also debuted at #40 on the hot 40 singles chart.[10] October 2023 he was nominated for 'Best New Zealand Act' for the MTV Europe Music Awards for his original single 'Million Pieces'.[11]
