Ever wondered what connects UK landfill indie with the US noise scene?

Online sample database WhoSampled has launched a new game that reveals the hidden musical connections between your favourite artists.

Enter the names of any two artists, and ‘Six Degrees of Music Separation’ will show how they’re connected by samples, cover versions, remixes, collaborations and other production or writing credits.
