In 2012, announced an indefinite hiatus to allow members to pursue individual projects, with focusing on his duo .

That same year, Swire marked his vocal return outside the band with a collaboration on Armin van Buuren's "Sound of You," a trance-infused track highlighting his distinctive singing in a fresh context.

Knife Party

Knife Party was formed in 2011 by Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen, members of the drum and bass band Pendulum, as an experimental side project exploring electro house and dubstep sounds. The duo debuted with their first EP, 100% No Modern Talking, released digitally in late 2011 through Earstorm Records, marking their entry into the aggressive bass music scene. Following Pendulum's hiatus in 2012, Swire and McGrillen transitioned Knife Party to a full-time endeavor, allowing them to prioritize its development amid the rising popularity of electronic dance music. The project quickly gained momentum with a series of influential EPs: Rage Valley in 2012, which solidified their heavy bass-driven style; Haunted House in 2013; Trigger Warning in 2015; and Lost Souls in 2019. Their sole full-length album, Abandon Ship, arrived in November 2014 via Earstorm and , featuring high-energy tracks that blended with cinematic elements; it achieved commercial success, debuting at No. 2 on the Top chart and entering the Top 40 of the 200. Swire contributed as both lead producer and DJ, shaping the duo's sound through meticulous layering of synths, drops, and basslines that emphasized festival-ready intensity. Over time, Knife Party's music evolved from the raw, heavy bass aggression of their early EPs—characterized by distorted wobbles and hard-hitting drops—to more melodic and uplifting structures in later releases, incorporating progressive house influences and emotive vocals, as evident in tracks from the Lost Souls EP like "Death & Desire." This shift reflected broader trends in EDM while maintaining their signature edge. In August 2024, the duo teased their first new original material in over five years via social media, hinting at a potential return to production. They continued performing live, including a set at Ultra Music Festival's Worldwide Stage in March 2025.

Musical style

Genres and influences

Rob Swire's musical output primarily spans and through his work with , where the band's sound blends high-energy breakbeats with rock instrumentation and vocals. This hybrid approach draws from industrial-metal influences like , evident in tracks with aggressive guitar riffs and cybernetic electronic elements, as well as bands such as Yes and , which inform the album 's expansive structures. Collaborations with artists like The Prodigy's on "Immunize" and Porcupine Tree's Steve Wilson on "" further highlight Swire's integration of rock and electronic traditions. With , co-founded alongside Gareth McGrillen, Swire shifted toward and , producing visceral, festival-oriented tracks that emphasize heavy synth drops and aggressive basslines. This project reflects a deliberate pivot from Pendulum's rock-infused , allowing Swire to explore broader (EDM) landscapes without the constraints of live band performance. Swire's style evolved from the underground drum and bass scene in Perth's clubs during the early 2000s, where he honed experimental sounds on 's debut Hold Your Colour, to mainstream prominence in the via Knife Party's high-impact releases. This progression manifests in genre-blending techniques, such as layering rock vocals over pulsating electronic beats in tracks like "Salt in the Wounds," which fuses techno-industrial grooves with nu-metal intensity. More recently, Swire has ventured into through collaborations like "Sound of You" with , incorporating euphoric builds and melodic hooks, and pop elements in guest appearances that broaden his hybrid aesthetic. This hybrid approach continues in 's 2025 album , which amplifies metal and rock influences alongside electronic elements.

Production techniques

Swire's production techniques emphasize the fusion of with and elements, creating a hybrid sound that bridges genres. He incorporates guitar synthesizers, notably a custom Starr Labs Ztar , to perform guitar-like parts that trigger synthesized sounds, allowing fluid integration of playing styles into tracks during both and live performances. This approach is evident in Pendulum's work, where the Ztar enables expressive leads and rhythms that mimic traditional guitar tones while interfacing directly with MIDI-compatible synths. In the studio, Swire relies on Steinberg Nuendo 4 as his primary , supplemented by plugins such as Cakewalk Z3TA+ and GForce ImpOSCar for layering components. These tools facilitate the creation of dense, evolving basslines and percussion through multi-layered , where he stacks waveforms and applies to build rhythmic complexity without custom plugins, prioritizing for authenticity in production. He also processes guitar elements using IK Multimedia Amplitube 2 and TC Thirty to generate expansive "walls of ," blending distorted guitars with backings for a cohesive . Vocal processing forms a core part of Swire's workflow, particularly for achieving the rock-electronic in Pendulum's output. He records vocals through a Brauner VMA compressed via a Blue Stripe 1176, then layers effects like vocoders and talkboxes—often sourced from a Yamaha DX100—to infuse electronic modulation while preserving raw emotional delivery. This technique allows vocals to cut through dense mixes, as seen in the dynamic, processed leads that anchor tracks blending sung rock verses with bass-heavy drops. Swire served as the primary engineer for Pendulum's 2008 album In Silico, managing demos, tracking, and initial mixing to maintain a unified sonic identity. For percussion, he employed multi-tracking by recording live drum sessions at with producer Dave Bascombe, then overlaying dynamic multisamples in Kontakt across up to 32 channels; this method provided editable flexibility, enabling precise adjustments to timing and tone while retaining the energy of live performance in the final electronic arrangements. Innovations in Swire's live production center on robust integration to replicate studio complexity onstage. He samples hardware synths, such as the ARP Andromeda, into Kontakt instances running on Muse Receptors for reliable playback, using protocols—including split NRPN messages for controllers like the Andromeda's ribbon—to synchronize guitars, keyboards, and effects in real time.
