Selections: Ploy 💥 Whether it’s wonky UK bass experiments for Hessle Audio and Timedance, or more recent excursions into pounding house music via Dekmantel and Faith Beat, Ploy has injected a singular energy into the UK underground over the last decade. Moving into 2026, the South London-based artist is keen to keep the momentum flowing both in the studio and on the dancefloor, with the return of his Deaf Test club night “in a new capacity”, and a follow-up to his excellent 2025 releases, ‘It’s Later Than You Think’ and ‘The Flirt’. For this contribution to DJ Mag’s Selections series, Ploy offers a taste of what you can expect to hear from his upcoming sets and releases, including trippy tech-house from Brett Johnson, wiggly synth goodness from King Kooba, and hypnotic drum action from Onionz.

Sam Smith has been making waves in the British underground dance music scene and beyond since his debut as Ploy on Hessle Audio in 2016. In the ten years since the producer cemented his reputation in the UK techno scene through further releases on esteemed labels such as Timedance, Hemlock Recordings and L.I.E.S. He went on to establish his own imprint Deaf Test in 2021 before shifting his attention towards house music three years later. Last year saw the culmination of not one, but two Ploy standout projects: the Dekmantel double EP, 'It's Later Than You Think', and 'The Flirt' which came out on Ryan Elliot's Faith Beat label. While the former is an off-kilter four-to-the-floor workout across 8 tracks, the latter showcases Smith's penchant for groove and melody with hints of garage throughout. Ploy's discography may be genre fluid however some things are non-negotiable. Listen to any of his tunes, be it era-defining UK techno hit 'Ramos' or 2025's 'Love Song', and you'll hear full throttle, cutting edge club music with weighty subs, rattling drums and wild risers.
