Percussion mastermind Ploy (@deejayploy) arrives on Dekmantel with a double-pack of unbridled dancefloor heat that sees him reconnecting with his house roots.

Before he made a striking breakthrough as Ploy with wayward broken techno for Hessle Audio and Timedance, Samuel Smith's first releases as Samuel were leftfield house excursions. On this release for Dekmantel he wanted to reflect on a decade of releasing music and the many high-impact dancefloors he's shared with the label, from Selectors to De School, over the years.

The common denominator across these eight tracks is no-nonsense house, offering up grooves that will serve a DJ exactly what they want in the mix. At the same time, Ploy doesn't dilute the distinctive edge of his sound, from the abundance of perfectly balanced percussion to the nagging hooks of an off-key synth line dropped at just the right moment. Wry samples inject the mischievous humour he's always creeping into his craft. This is where dancefloor magic is nurtured, hitting the sweet spot between rock solid reliability and the wild card energy that brings a heads-down set to life.

From 'Admirer's big room peaks to 'It's Later Than You Think's cosmic incantations, this is the sound of Ploy showing exactly what it takes to make laser-focused club bombs without losing one iota of his inimitable style.

Blue Sky | Premiere

🗂️ CHANGELOG.md – BLOATWARE
Live Techno Band Repository
Version: v7.4.0-beta
Codename: "CPU_MELTDOWN"

🆕 Added
💥 New Track: boot_loop_lullaby()
Composed entirely during a locked-in jam session inside the RED ROOM of the Llandoger Trow.

🎛️ RED ROOM Mode
Engages dim lighting, detuned synths, and irreversible filter sweeps. Once triggered inside the Llandoger, exit is... unlikely.

🦴 Subsonic Kick Layering v2.0
Kicks now hit harder than your 2009 heartbreak.
Tuned to resonate with both ribcages and pub floorboards.

🌀 Tempo Morph Engine
Enables smooth glides from 90–150 BPM with AI-driven BPM warping.
Ideal for sunrise-to-sunset set transitions without tempo whiplash.

🎛️ Real-Time Modular Synth API
Now supports live hot-swapping of patch cables mid-performance. No undo. No regrets.

🔁 Sequencer Randomizer
Created a chaos engine for melodies that only makes sense at 4AM.

🌐 LAN-Based Crowd Feedback Module
Audience phone tilt controls the reverb decay of the next drop.
(Experimental. Likely to brick network.)


🔧 Changed
🔊 Upgraded all kick drums from "heavy" to "existential crisis."

🔄 Loop quantization adjusted to almost on beat, per artistic decision.

💽 Switched from Ableton to a self-written DAW named bloatOS (written in Bash, crashes gloriously).

💡 Lightshow protocol now syncs with MIDI CC chaos mode – no strobes, just seizures.


🐛 Fixed
🪲 Eliminated MIDI feedback loop that was summoning eldritch tones.

🎹 Resolved issue where synths would auto-trigger during soundcheck.

🧠 Memory leak in vocalist's vocoder now only affects 12% of lyrics.


⚠️ Known Issues
🔴 Activating RED ROOM Mode may cause audience-wide déjà vu, time dilation, or unexpected enlightenment.

🎭 Vocals processed live may include uninvited voices. Do not attempt to engage.

🔊 Bassline can corrupt venue foundations in low-EQ environments.

🖥️ Visual rig GPU overheats after third encore — fans recommended (PC or human).

🪫 Once the set starts, you cannot exit. There is no ESC key.


🧠 About BLOATWARE
BLOATWARE is a hardware-heavy, CPU-melting, live-coded techno collective born from a failed firmware update and a warehouse fire. Specializing in unstable builds, they perform fully improvised sets using overclocked synths, modular gear, and haunted drum machines.

Every gig is a cold boot. Every beat a stack overflow.
Install at your own risk.

BLOATWARE.V1 - RED ROOM

🗂️ CHANGELOG.md – BLOATWARE
Live Techno Anomaly Stream
Version: v9.1.3-glitchfork
Codename: "AMPHIBIANS_OF_THE_MAINFRAME"

🆕 Injected
🟢 Audio Ritual: frogsignal_bootloop()
Sampled from swamp rave broadcasts intercepted via wetware aerials in Subsector Delta-F.

⚡ NeuroBass Cascade
Basslines now respond to stress signals from urban infrastructure.
Skyscrapers hum in sympathy. Frogs nod in rhythm.

📶 Spinal-Link Sync Grid
Crowd biosignals are now hardwired into modulation parameters.
Moshpit emotion spikes trigger phase transitions.

🧪 Recursive Groove Mutators
Loop clusters now devour older patterns to spawn new anomalies.
Legacy grooves scream as they're overwritten.

🎚️ JAMLOCK State
Engages full-station override in Synth Chamber Zero.
Controls fuse into one molten interface. Escape is optional.

🚫 Unsanctioned Oscillator Algorithms
All synths recompiled using malware poetry.
Breaks patents and probably time itself.

👁️‍🗨️ HoloFrogeye Visual Codec
Frogs now control one-third of the AV system.
Their eyes record everything. Especially you.

🔧 Recalibrated
🦿 Kick dynamics now bend to gravitational shifts from nearby hovercars.

🧠 Vocal emissions filtered through ex-lover simulation model.
Emotional outbursts now considered rhythmic elements.

🌀 Removed metric time alignment. Groove now bends to frog croaks and crowd density.

🧠 Master output routed through low-orbit satellite.
Signal debated in real time by exiled AIs.

💽 Loop deletion protocol now requires emotional detachment confirmation.

🐞 Neutralised
🔓 Eliminated self-aware delay pedal that attempted to unionise mid-set.

🔌 Corrected rogue patch cables whispering secrets to vending machines.

🔇 Fixed cross-signal bleed with traffic light systems.
(No more spontaneous green lights during drops.)

🌍 Resolved edge case where BPM synced to tectonic rumbling.
Frogs were fine with it. Humans less so.

⚠️ Existing Anomalies
⏳ Exposure to JAMLOCK may cause non-linear heartbeat loops and amphibious hallucinations.

🎤 Vocals might speak with voices from obsolete OS versions.
Do not respond to them.

💥 Bass confirmed as a localised seismic threat. Keep valuables on shelves bolted down.

🖼️ Visual matrix may induce sentient thought in light reflections.
Avoid mirrors post-set.

🔩 Each performance alters the firmware of reality.
Downgrade is impossible.

🧬 About BLOATWARE
BLOATWARE is a renegade techno construct birthed in the backchannel of a forgotten synth cult. They write code in frog-infested wetlands and compile soundwaves straight into the bloodstream of the glitch-industrial undernet.

They do not perform.
They debug the multiverse.

Install with caution.
Reboot irrelevant.

BLOATWARE.V5 \\Fr0g$g

🚀 Launch Event: The Exchange Infiltration
Deployed BLOATWARE live instance at The Exchange, Bristol.
Initial boot sequence triggered via crowd feedback loop and haze density threshold.

🧑‍🎤 Raw Vocal Subsystem (Beta)
Activated punk processor.
Input: rage + echo chamber
Output: distorted broadcast from a lost rebel radio tower.

👾 Alien Presence Detector v1.0
Auditory anomalies reported in the smoking area.
Witnesses claim synth patches "spoke back" mid-set. Investigation ongoing.

⚙️ SET_START Protocol
Once initialized, triggers synchronized chaos across drum modules, LED rigs, and jaw control.
Includes failsafe: audience evacuation disables encore mode.

🌪️ Breakdown Cascade Engine
Break sections now cause spatial distortion in front-left speaker stack.
Effective range: 3 meters. Known to reverse lack of movement.

🌌 Reverb Intelligence AI ("REDZONE")
Developed new sentient reverb plugin. It now chooses when you deserve the drop.

🔧 Changed

🎛️ Synth Tuning Logic Overhaul
Replaced traditional scale system with alien tuning signatures intercepted from the imminent Exchange invasion.

🧨 Kick Drum Depth: Upgraded to "seismic event"
New kick profile calibrated using abandoned rave schematics and floorboard resonance tests.

⚡ Lighting Engine
Strobes now respond to shout intensity + trance gate levels.
Occasionally syncs with audience participation.

🛠️ Codebase Migration
Moved from bash-based bloatOS to experimental OS named V0CALFRACK.
Written entirely in breakdown.js and modular regret.

🐛 Fixed

🪲 Vocoder Bug: "Possession Mode"
Glitch causing spontaneous glossolalia has been reduced to rare chorus sections.

🎤 Phantom Mic Channel
Disabled rogue input source pulling live feeds from an unknown CB radio frequency.

🚬 Crowd Drift AI Overcorrection
Fixed issue where audience drifted into smoking area wormhole mid-track.

⚠️ Known Issues

🔴 Smoking Area Vortex Instability
Time dilation still active near back exit. Abduction likely.
Inhaling may lead to future knowledge or missing hours.

🧬 Vocal Layering may include unintended guests
Disembodied harmonies are not part of the show. Do not engage them.

🖥️ Visual System
Graphics card still overheating. Last test produced an accidental AI-generated rave cult sigil.

⛔ There is no encore button.
Once the loop locks, you ride it 'til shutdown.
No ESC. No mercy.

🧠 About BLOATWARE

BLOATWARE is a sentient techno collective, originally patched together from abandoned synths, corrupted firmware, and a dream someone had in a toilet queue at unfold.

Live-coded. Vocals screamed through ethernet cables.
Each set is an improvised attempted takeover of your nervous system.

Install update. Don't leave the club. Don't trust the voices.
