Narrative:
Upon being cleared for a visual approach at runway 35 aircraft Y was instructed to slow for the intersecting runway 27R on which they were doing an approach as well. Aircraft Y did not respond. About 30 seconds passed and tower asked if aircraft Y copied their instructions to slow. They then responded that they had missed that instruction. ATC then said something to the affect that it is 'too late anyway'. Tower then instructed me to go around; fly heading 350 and maintain runway heading. Before I could reply; and after I had started my go around procedure; aircraft Y responded 'go around; fly heading 350; maintain 3;000 feet'. Right away I saw aircraft Y climbing and turning north while I was climbing on heading 350. I leveled off at 800 feet as they passed overhead. Tower then instructed me to level off. I am not sure if aircraft Y ever had me in sight.I feel that the problem was caused by two reasons; first aircraft Y's lack of situational awareness and communication initially; and second; a short radio blockage caused possibly by another aircraft; which resulted in aircraft Y thinking they were the ones instructed to go-around.
