What artists sound like Jon Hopkins?

Which song should I start with?
Björk: “Hidden Place” (92% feel-match); Daft Punk: “Crescendolls” (94% feel-match); Aphex Twin: “Pulsewidth” (94% feel-match). Each is that artist's single closest track to the Jon Hopkins centre of gravity, so it's the least jarring way in.
How intense is Jon Hopkins overall?
Across 20 measured songs, Jon Hopkins averages 45/100 on our intensity scale. Individual songs vary — see the full catalog breakdown on their artist page.
How do you decide two artists are similar?
Every song is measured on 8 dimensions (intensity, dynamic range, tempo, sudden changes, texture, predictability, vocal force, fine sound detail). We compare an artist's catalogue centre of gravity to every other artist's, then weight shared mood tags. Matches cross genre and era, because the measurements don't know what genre is.
