Ploy

Ploy is the alias of British producer Sam Smith, who began releasing music in 2017. Smith has maintained consistent output across the underground electronic scene, with releases spanning from 2017 through 2024 on several respected imprints.

Ploy's sound traverses house and techno territories, with releases on Dekmantel, Timedance, Hemlock Recordings, and L.I.E.S. Records.

Smith's work demonstrates versatility across tempo ranges, delivering both dancefloor-focused tracks and deeper, more introspective compositions that suit both club environments and home listening.
