This song is actually named after me, not that other one by that one band or whatever.

Yeah seriously. Half of the sample is practically lifted straight from the original. They probably had a similar arrangement to what Laurent Garnier had w/ funkagenda.
Plus, all this "oh noez, he's selling at as his own" nonsense needs to stop. It's a cover. Musicians have been labeling covers this way for decades. As long as the other group gave permission and writing credits were given out appropriately there is really nothing wrong. Granted, on beatport you can't see the liner info to know who has the writing credits, but as this track is professionally released by a real label I have to assume that everything is reasonably in order. I mean, they didn't even change the name. It's not like they're trying to fool anybody.
