Your remix has more punch and clarity !
Some little things I would have preferred : the snare drum is a bit too loud, and has aggressive transients. Maybe some tape simulation on it can reduce them ? Second thing is the dryness of the vocals. It's not a big deal when instruments are playing, but you should use more delay and reverb when the singer is almost alone.
Nice job
The snare is quite loud but that's on purpose, for this genre I really like having a loud cracking snare, I'm already running 7-10 dBs of compression on a fairchild emulation plus saturation from a 1073 emulation with a cut at 3 kHz to decrease the attack. I'll try turning it down but for me, this track demands a punchy snare.
The vocals have alot of reverb on them, I'm using a short decay plate style verb which is quite dark and makes it seem less obvious. The delay I'm using is also lo fi and turned down in the mix so it acts more in the background. I'll definitely turn up the verb there.
