The Future Sound Of Stonnington

Ploy makes mad music – a lot of his music sounds mad. It shouldn’t necessarily make sense but it does.

The term discombobulated comes to mind at times but in the very best way. No, seriously we mean that as a compliment.

For 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.

No 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 – creating his own world in which to release the music that feels right to him.

Ploy’s 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.

One 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.

We invited Ploy to record a mix and the result… Well, you are in for a treat as we gain an insight into some of the music which makes Ploy tick on the dancefloor.

Ploy: The Ransom Note Mix

@jayeward

o•rbyss aims to help soothe the queer spectrum and focus on the well-being of the community. Queer DJs are invited to submit a mix to showcase an alternative side to their music library outside of a rave and take us on a meditative journey. ✨

Notes on the mix:

"'Finding space to be totally horizontal can be difficult, this mix is a sort of gateway to that way of feeling. Ambient but with rhythm, with peaks and troughs to keep you focussed and in the game. Lots of deep listening, lo fi textures, slow arpy funks & dense devotional synths. Log on and tune out!!'"

Back before acid house changed the world, Jaye Ward was already ploughing a unique path playing weird and wonky musics of all flavours at squat parties and industrial based do’s, she flung herself whole heartedly and without concern for her safety into the oncoming tsunami of what we would end up tagging as house, techno or the multitude of varying descriptive titles it has been given and has stayed true to ‘our thing’ ever since.

Dancing wildly at dirt box, the mutoid waste parties, the hacienda, ministry of sound, tonka, moist, sabresonic set her up for the ‘90s where, while Jaye was behind the counters of a number of soho record shops during the day and doing the ambient ‘creamy meat’ show as bish on the legendary chillin’ FM pirate radio, she was often found behind the decks at the legendary WANG parties, the back room at Golden in Stoke on Trent, her residency at London’s sadly defunct END with the ‘for your pleasure’ crew and numerous long gone all nighters and late into the night dark room parties. Getting her second wind at the start of the 00’s via the ‘softmachine’ parties she ran alongside George ‘black merlin’ and Kyle & Johnny from ‘land of light’ she’s been playing regularly across the country for numerous nights such as LOVE MUSCLE & COSMIC SLOP in Leeds, HOMO BLOC & KISS ME AGAIN in Manchester and further a field as a resident at the KALA festival as well as Field Maneuvers, Love International and dimensions in Croatia. She is also the resident at long running & fiercely loyally supported Bristol party PLU, alongside Ranks which has carved out a name for interesting left of centre guests and a distinctly gnarly music policy.

As well as a bi-monthly ambient tinged ‘starmaps’ show of MUTANT RADIO Jaye also runs the long running weekly sunday night ‘Magical Real’ show on Netil Radio, from which she broadcasts a monthly dose of all things dub, disco, psychedelic, Balearic, and more.

Jaye has just released the 2nd release from DJ BSH on her own FIBS record label here >> https://fibs.bandcamp.com/

CAN YOU FEEL THE SUN W/ CALL SUPER & PARRIS 180724

In the silence of a forgotten cosmos, where the stars are but distant echoes, an entity rests. 🤖 It is neither human nor machine, but a sublime and terrifying meeting point between the two. Its face, made of cold and perfect porcelain, is an island of calm in an ocean of mechanical complexity. It is a face that dreams, but what dreams traverse its silicon circuits? Perhaps it dreams of the ghost of its organic past, or perhaps of the cold geometry of inconceivable futures. ⚙️ Every cable that intertwines with its synthetic flesh is a vein carrying not blood, but data; every piston is a muscle awaiting a command. This is the sound you are about to hear. 🎶 It is not music created for movement, but for transcendence. It is a dark, deep, industrial techno, the heartbeat of a colossal factory forging new realities. The bass is the foundation of this metallic world, rhythms that hammer like tireless workers in the abyss. The atmospheres are the breath of the machine, a cold vapor that settles on the soul. 🖤 By listening, you become part of this biomechanical hibernation. Your mind disconnects from the body and travels through these corridors of cable and steel, exploring the dormant consciousness of the gynoid. It is an introspective experience, a sonic journey into the depths of artificial intelligence and post-human existence. 🧠 This is the lullaby for the end of the world, a cathedral of sound built to worship the sacred union of flesh and metal. Close your eyes. Disconnect. Let the industrial rhythm rebuild you. 🔌
