Think you should try working on your the sound quality which seems kind of average in this one, sounds a bit muddy… maybe try re-EQing the whole thing, adding some more highs and mid-highs.
I think you should also try working on your percussion a bit more, it's pretty basic the way it is, not enough variation.
Like Sunquest already mentioned, it sounds to similar to the original mix. Almost same lead sounds and defiantly the same melody…I think you should try adding your own unique twist to it, that's what a remix is all about, right?
Not a bad effort overall, keep it up!

I love the original of this song!
I love the kick you used, but I don't really care for the intro being just a open hat... maybe you can have prog house percussion in the intro instead... the close hat that follow is still kind of stale... replace it with a house percussion loop or something
the conga breakdown is kind of cheesey since it doesn't sound like a real conga player.
The main lead rocks!! Good work. This remix would be a hot banger if you just simply changed the hats and the congas.
I immidietly sence the low BPM.. and the dark atmpshere.. i can hear the Airwave style as well (dont think it was intended) ..very nice bongos there in the break.. maybe make them not too obvious.. the lead-sound is really good and dark.. i really enjoy the chill tempo and the open hat..and the bongos.. u have made a really cool atmosphere to the track, but still, it would be nice to see some more percussions or other elements added to give it more depth, as it seems a bit long..

kick is a bit too loud, and i'm not a hudge fan of it as well... sounds a bit hard for this kind of atmosphere trance...
Drums are a bit weak for my taste, i like it when there's loads more of perc. The perc in the break are cool but maybe try to put an very long delay on it .. ( dub delay type or ohmboyzz). I would try to make the drums a bit more groovey
anyway keep working hard

I like the percs a lot, and especially the kick. Not a huge fan of the original, its kind of boring, but I must say I enjoyed listening to yours, nice and chilled and a bit different.

in my opinion, your rmx can't create the atmosphere as the orgininal can. for me, there is no tension is this edit.
