I'm talking about artists who completely changed genre or otherwise became unrecognisable. Share some that you know of!

deadmau5 didn't quite do a change of genre but he sort of just adapted with the times to the point that his older music is kind of unrecognizable. His first album "Get Scraped" is much closer in tone to "big beat" and would definitely fit if it were made by artists like The Prodigy or the Qemists. He pretty quickly switched styles to sort of dark, deep House and Techno with "Random Album Title". Nowadays he sort of plays a mix of both, and even his modern songs like "Pomegranate" sound closer to a pop song and probably would've got him thrown out of the underground scene 10 years ago
