Pendulum and Armin van Buuren Join Forces for Explosive DnB Single 'Sound of You'
Two giants from different corners of dance music have collided.

Featuring vocals from Pendulum frontman Rob Swire, 'Sound of You' was born during a joint studio session in early 2024 and first road-tested at Tomorrowland Belgium 2024, where it landed to massive crowd reaction.
Originally written as a big room progressive house track by Armin, the first version dropped last month with Swire on vocals – his first feature in several years. But it didn’t stop there. The creative energy in the studio pushed things further.
“We’d talked about working together for a while,” says Rob Swire. “As soon as I heard the original, I knew I wanted to sing on it. Then Armin suggested a drum-and-bass version and had loads of great ideas. We got in the studio and it all clicked really fast.”
Armin saw the collab as a way to push into new ground. “Drum-and-bass isn’t usually my world, but working with Pendulum made it feel natural. Being in the studio together made a huge difference – I’m really proud of what we made.”
It’s a rare crossover moment that blends Pendulum’s signature energy with Armin’s melodic intensity – and it lands with serious impact.
