Deadmau5 has taken to Twitter and accused Wildstylez of ripping off his record, “Some Chords.” Hardstyle artist, Wildstylez’s new song “Straightforward” appears to replicate a very similar chord progression to deadmau5’s hit song. Although “Straightforward” primarily focuses upon an original hardstyle beat, the build-up of the track definitely resembles the chords heard in “Some Chords.”
