Aussie drum 'n' bass heavyweights Pendulum have released a brand new single ahead of their appearance at the Reading and Leeds festivals this coming weekend, and it packs a special appearance from one of hip hop's most entertaining and exciting young acts. The gritty, down-and-dirty d'n'b track, titled , sees Pendulum team up with Joey Valance & Brae, the American rap duo whose riotously fun sophomore album landed earlier this year to critical acclaim. “As soon as I heard their [2022] single , I knew we had to work together on a heavy DnB track," says Pendulum frontman Rob Swire.
"This is such a legendary collab for us," add Joey Valance & Brae in a statement. "We’ve both been fans of Pendulum and drum and bass in general for so long, so it’s crazy to finally do a track together.” Listen to the single below.
Pendulum play Leeds Festival's main stage this Friday (August 23) and Reading's man stage on Sunday (August 25). about his longtime love of EDM earlier this year, Joey Valance explained: "I basically only listened to electronic music until I was, like, 20, like Skrillex and Knife Party and Pendulum and like all this, dubstep and stuff. I'm so into rave music and so I grew up with hip hop influence and listened to that as well.
" “Joey was making a lot of EDM at the time when we first met," Brae confirmed, "and I was kind of into that stuff too, so we had a similarity there." The latest news, features and interviews direct to your inbox, from the global home of al.
