The way I approached the remix was to drop all the stems into Renoise and pick out the sounds that seemed appealing such as the hats and kicks, and then begin to manipulate the audio, along with new material. The vocal I felt was a little too arresting for the kind of vibe I wanted to go for, so I cut words and syllables out, repitched and stretched them to create the kinda washy pad sounds that appear throughout. I guess the idea was to create something new out of it, rather than simply creating a version of the tune for a big system, and put my own flavor in there, but because it has some of Hydroplane in there too it manages to sound different from both of us!
