"It's not meant to be catchy, it's meant to sound like the fucking apocalypse" I have no idea why but those words have stuck with me for years now

The producer, the expert, the master... rob fucking swire.

"people say it's sound quiet catchy, it's not meant to be catchy, it's meant to sound like fucking apocalypse" XD

5:40 get yourself a girl who look at you the way this interviewer looks at Rob

"It's not meant to be catchy, it's meant to sound like the fucking apocalypse" I revisited this video just to hear him say that.

One of the greatest producers ever.

I would hate having an interviewer stare at the side of my head the whole time.

Rob's voice, goodness, I can listen to this man speak for hours

We REALLY need a 2015 in the studio with Rob. Come on Future! :)

I like his attention to detail and his understanding of what hes doing and why. It really makes such a difference in sound quality to appropriately place notes, instruments, and their levels according to sonic nature instead of just blending things that sound cool together.

He's very careful not to release to much sound out. He's not letting all the secrets out

My childhood grew around his music. hes my music hero :^)

coming from Martin Garrix's "vandalism presets" to Rob swire's "we setup our bass on a few different plugins"......pretty big jump

What a genius rob swire. One of the best producers of this era

i wish i could chill with rob in a studio for a week and have him teach me as much as he could

Half of his accent is Australian and the other half is British haha ;)

"It's not meant to sound nice its supposed to sound like the fucking apocalypse." So great.

Rob Swire..Legend.

I revisit this video whenever I need inspiration. Rob Swire is my hero!

Rob really seems like one of the most technically minded musicians. His art, his music, is produced to such a high standard.

I can no longer look at this man as just a normal musician. He knows his craft so well. These are engineers ffs! They need to be compared to the likes of Stevenson and Brunel. They are truly pushing things forward.

It's a shame he isn't more enthusiastic about talking about his music. One of Australia's musical greats but it's like watching Daniel Johns in an interview.

Meant to sound fucking apocalyptic but turns out it's catchy instead. Thanks Savant ;)

watch this with a laptop or a phone to witness an awkward silence at 5:30

Australia represent. Went on to form Knife Party who are now just as huge world wide, with different sounds. Legend mate

I just love how shy he is! So adorable

2:25 - his hand! rob must have a very angry cat or something.

This was filmed in June 2010

How does one make growls with Sylenth? ONLY ROB SWIRE KNOWS!

In the studio with Aiden Jude = 2 minute video

I wish you guys would go in the studio with The Upbeats. I would love to see how they do things.

8:30 You're welcome

Pendulum are geniuses! all albums are masterpieces...

l love rob swire

I love Rob Swire, he is an amazing singer and producer, he is my idol

The song is Salt in the Wound from their immersion album

The leadlines of salt in wounds sounds like some sort of laser wars

He seems like the chillest person in the world.

Robs the kinda person to ask you to sign a petition

Rob Swire is pretty much a genius when it comes to mastering.

I can't understand how he gets that sub bass sound so insanely huge and powerful. It's tight as hell too. what is he doing..

Very good! I really like Knife Party and I think they have the best mix. I would like to know more about that. But this was helpful too :) Thanks!

I would love to have access to the project files for Pendulum's work... I'd be there for days just muting and soloing different tracks and listening to these tunes in a way I never have before

The man is a goddamned wizard.

When he showed how he stacked sounds to make leads, you could definitely tell that it was the techniques he used for loads of pendulum's leads.

Hey at least I was able to hear Rob sing in the Immersion album thanks man your voice sounds really good especially in songs like Watercolour and Crush also Immunize and can't forget Encoder your voice in amazing in all of those songs.

Been listening to Pendulum for a long while now, first I've seen of the production side of things, good stuff.

Camera picked up the low frequencies perfectly!

''It's not meant to sound nice, It's suppose to sound like the fucking apocalypse'' I love you Rob.

I am waiting for the day,when Liam Howlett sits in front of the camera and showing how he makes his music...then I can die.

jokkearnt This interview was filmed in 2010 thats why its about pendulum and the reason why there is no mention of knife party is because knife party didn't exist in 2010, knife party were formed in 2011.

still come back to this every year at least once :) x rob swire is god

"its not meant to be catchy, its meant to sound like the fucking apocalypse"

Wow just seen this guy on video for the first time.what a legend.some of my first favourite drum and bass

8:29 - Savant aaaanyone? ;)

5:26 the drums of the new Pendulum Album WOW!!!!!

Authentic studio tan. Truest sign of a real deal producer!

"peri playing some 80s loop" *cough* encoder *cough*

That interviewer has no idea about production what so ever.... hahahahahahaha

This is more talking from Rob Swire in an interview than I'm used to.

I like Rob, he's a crazy knowledgable producer

some better questions could have been asked i think

Pendulum is/was a landmark in electronic music

Now I can do Pendulum by myself on my laptop, thanx for a video :D

great! thanks!

"yea....yea...........yea"

I play it while racing. Looove the song

my f0kin hero.

This Interview is embarrassing! It's like somebody sent their dad round for a chat.....

for those who haven't gathered (all 2 of you) perrys 80s guitar loop ended up being use in encoder :)

These interviews are great. It's so reaffirming to see how the professionals do it before getting down to a track!

"and is everything done here?" "how long do you spend..." zzzzzzzzzzz

Thx a lot for sharing this Future Music, its really interesting and Rob is an amazing producer/technicien indeed :) 2 Questions though : What year was this shoot ? And I guess the original Interview is longer so where is it possible to find it today ? Many thanks Adrien

Rob's just like "Fuck off and let me work. I don't want to explain shit to you."

I'd so buy that drum beat with just the bassline all on it's own.

He sings in Pendulum, great band. He even sings in Deadmau5's songs, real MVP. I love him.

Rob's a genius and that doesn't show easily, it's a shame what Pendulum's fate was, the concept kicked so much ass.

12:50 what happened to the mic?

pause at 10:42, Rob Swire is picking his nose lol

One of the best in the game!

I love this guy so much

Love these. Thanks FutureMusic.

The pure rockwool behind the speaker kills me 😆 And the 310 speakers are constant red lighted, what means on the Neumanns that the signal is too loud. Funny interview 😁

this guy is a genius.

Fyi whoever Aphid is that is really good as well, the song where the voice says, "to the dark come follow me" followed by some kind of a pipe sound is great.

As soon as I heard the way he said "lead lines" I realized why these voices sound familiar. Aleksander, you sneaky little dork. XD

rob looks like he just finished a marathon

OH MY GOD THIS IS GONNA BE AMAZING

I'm glad they reunited and are touring again in 2023.

all the videos they put up are available in there magazines. this video was in a magazine from 2010, if you look for one that might have those artist's then you can buy it and look for yourself.

Plz make video on Boss Mode by knife party

Why is the interviewer staring at the side of his head so much?

it pisses me off people who hate on other producers with motives that aren't even related to his production, if you dislike his haircut fine but don't say he's not an artist that's just unfounded considering the quality of his production.

Yeah dont bother showing the screen or recording the stereo audio with audacity or lining it into a seperate laptop or computer for better quality.

He not to let Pendulum, but he and Gareth decided to depart Pendulum for a time to try new things, and so they created Knife Party. But Rob said recently that in 2014 there will be a new album of Pendulum and other of Knife Party. He keep doing the 2 things, but Knife Party it's the first thing now.

Bring the beats back, the beat of his life.

Been waiting for this for a long time

Genius!!!

Oh totally, from a purely educational standpoint this was way more informative for someone who is just generally interested in production , and thanks man! (:

i wish Rob Swire would look at the interviewer instead of the interviewer straining his head the entire time trying to look at him in the eyes haha
