This is a pretty good first remix! It's not an easy SID to get right but the musical content sounds good to me. A few tips would be:

Add more layers - the result is a little simplistic because you've basically limited yourself to the same instruments that are in the original.
Make it more dynamic - make an intro which builds up to something, then maybe introduce a break and build back up - that is, create a little story. This isn't really that easy to achieve on the SID but you are not limited in that same way.
Add atmosphere - the mix is pretty dry, meaning there's very little reverb, delay, panning etc. It could also benefit from some spice here and there, sprinkled soundeffects, more percussion, what have you.

Definitely keep it up, looking forward to your next one!
