Ploy: The Ransom Note Mix

Published: July 24, 2023, 1:42 p.m.

Ploy makes mad music \u2013 a lot of his music sounds mad. It shouldn\u2019t necessarily make sense but it does.\n\nThe term discombobulated comes to mind at times but in the very best way. No, seriously we mean that as a compliment.\n\nFor many years Ploy has been one of the most interesting producers in underground Electronic music having released records with the likes of Hessle Audio, Hemlock, Timedance and L.I.E.S.\n\nNo two have sounded the same and each of them have drawn upon a musical influence or five as Ploy attempts to piece together his own flavour of dance. As an artist he has continued to evolve \u2013 creating his own world in which to release the music that feels right to him.\n\nPloy\u2019s own record label, Deaf Test, has been integral in the evolution of his sound. Acting as a platform in which to experiment and explore new sounds and concepts.\n\nOne challenge of his career thus far has been working out a way to connect the dots between his own musical tastes, productions and outlook towards club culture. However, as of late his focus has been rooted in the wonkier undercurrents of UK Bass music and its intersection with Tech House. A new record on Timedance forthcoming cements this idea.\n\nWe invited Ploy to record a mix and the result\u2026 Well, you are in for a treat as we gain an insight into some of the music which makes Ploy tick on the dancefloor.
