You will appreciate Every Noise at Once[0] maybe. It's all AI, but uses data from a massive set of users. It maps all chartable Spotify genres, and groups them into 3 playlists each. So for the genre, say "classic french pop"[1], you'd click in and see all the associated bands within that genre and see Spotify playlist links – they are:

The Sound of Classic French Pop – A sampling of music that defines the genre

The Pulse of Classic French Pop – Music that is often played by people who listen to lots of Classic French Pop

The Edge of Classic French Pop – New or obscure music recommended for people who like Classic French Pop

It's an incredibly deep web of playlists and music recommendations that has completely changed the way I experience Spotify. Highly highly recommend.

Hmm. This is pretty damned cool. I'd subscribe to Spotify if this were a real interface to its catalog.

I agree - Very cool! Under playlists you can launch in Spotify a playlist of every genre. Is that what you were missing?

Thanks parent!

This is fantastic. As someone who loves digital crate digging and to explore Discogs's world of niche releases and subgenres I was always disappointed with the rather superficial discoverability in larger, more popular music services.

Thanks.
