My Question or Issue

I have Premium now for about 8 years. There was a lapse in my account back in 2012 which is why it shows 6 years rather than 8. I listen to nothing but Drum 'n' Bass. As far as I know nobody has ever hijacked my account nor does anyone listen to other music on any of my two devices. In my Release Radar I get Mariachi music, Punk music, and Heavy Metal. U2 appears frequently as does some Hispanic singer Named SEBA. There is a SEBA I like in the D 'n' B scene in fact he is my favorite artist but he doesn't appear anymore. The Hispanic SEBA appears now. I used to be able to right click and remove these songs from my playlists but not anymore.  I get frustrated because I have paid for premium now for 8 years and I feel like Spotify has become less user friendly. I have multiple playlists. Too many to count. Every single one is D 'n' B related. Please tell me how I can remove this garbage from my Release Radar/Playlists?

It seems to me that Spotify identifies artists by name. Which results, very very often, in mixups with artists who presumably have the same or a similar name.

Then again, I also oftenly see mixups of artists who share no similarity. For instance, a while back I played a song by Josephine Baker, only to find out that it was actually a Frank Sinatra song and Josesphine Baker had nothing to do with it. No idea where this could come from.
