1. Pick an artist.
2. Pick an act in the “Similar Artists” suggestions.
3. Do the same for their “Similar Artists”. (Not picking an artist you’ve picked before, if possible)
4. Repeat until you have a list of 10 artists. See how far away you can end up.
For instance:
Coldplay -> Radiohead -> Beck -> Gorillaz -> Fatboy Slim -> Beats International -> Betty Boo -> Mel & Kim -> Brother Beyond -> Big Fun
Nurse With Wound (a really hard one! you get stuck in an English-industrial loop rapidly) - The Hafler Trio - Organum - Asmus Tietchens - Conrad Schnitzler - Clara Mondshine - Tony Esposito - Fun Fun - The Flirts - Patrick Cowley (yes!)
Vampire Weekend - Yeasayer - Animal Collective - Black Dice - Wolf Eyes - Prurient - Whitehouse - (actually you’re stuck in a power electronics loop at this point: amusing for the trollishly minded that it seems easier to get from VW to Merzbow than from VW to any African music…)
