At a verbal level LLMs are great: questions like "tell me about hip hop artists similar to MF doom" or "is there anything new like jefferson starship?" can be the start of great conversations. They will talk your ear off about what is going on with tracks like "Dangerous" off the Yes Union Album.

I haven't had much luck with LLMs. I can guess it works with famous artists but lots of other things work with famous artists. I asked it to find more tracks like "Hey Baby" (Deadmaus, Mellifresh) and they completely failed to even come close. I couldn't even get a similar vibe.

I asked Google's AI mode "a friend of mine likes "hey baby" by (deadmus/mellifresh) and wants to find similar tracks" and mainly suggested other deadmau5 and Melleefresh tracks (corrected our spelling) -- did recommended "Internet Friends" by Knife Part and "Exceeder" by Mason. I thought the first was a direct hit, the second is a little different but "sick" in a good way... It starts a little slow but the groove gets great once I get in.

Thanks but neither of those fit the criteria I was looking for. In particular the both the same style/energy of music and the explicit suggestive lyrics. Those recommendations fit the first, not the 2nd. And yes, I gave the LLM those criteria. Maybe one of them is better than another.

For the lyrics/vocals, the closest I can think of is Brat by MoxiFloxi though the genre isn't quite a match, the lyrics/vibe is sort of their "thing". Maybe one of the Benny Bassani Satisfaction remixes or Halogen - U Got also that but they're further.

That's covered by What.cd's Gazelle "spider web of similar artists"

This is a great way to do it, especially when the LLM can actually get to know you. I've been working on a project that combines a persistent music expert LLM session with social listening, and gives the LLM access to YouTube so that it can find things and play them for you immediately. I've got it tuned pretty well now and I've made it available to the public at https://tunistry.com/
