Deadmau5 is calling out a producer over Twitter.
Sound familiar?
Despite the tired rehashing of Twitter beef we\’ve come to expect as the norm from the EDM blogosphere, Deadmau5\’s latest accusation may have more substance to it and is worth investigating. The song in question is French Producer Zimmer\’s \”Heartbreak Reputation\” a song that seems to mirror some of the sonic and structural elements of \”I Remember.\”
Deadmau5 seems to be firing away with conviction that this is a blatant rip. Now you\’ll have the opportunity to listen for yourselves below.
What fucking balls. https://t.co/wdkn698XLe. Get the fuck out of here.

After the initial accusation was made, one fan dug a little deeper to find that Zimmer has been reported for similar infringement with previous releases. Below is a Soundcloud flag for infringement that recently delayed another one of his singles.
Such creative. Much original. So producer. Wow. https://t.co/tnddwJyoWe
