A remix by Dillon Francis was released for the 5 Years of Mau5 compilation album in 2014. The remix charted in the US, peaking at 50 in the Dance/Electronic Songs chart. A remix contest was also hosted by Beatport Play, in which participants were given the parts to rework Francis' version of the song.[3] The winner of the contest was Andrei Stephen, whose remix is expected to see an official release through Mau5trap, and the runner up was Approaching Nirvana, as determined by the community's votes.[3]
