Fake Blood does have better remixes while still having almost the exact same elements that people are calling cheap and derivative. actually the first remix of his that i've heard was the remix of Bonde De Role's Marina Gasolina, which actually retains a bit more elements of the original track in a way. both Fake Blood and Bonde De Role play more of a Bailefunk style (certainly not close to UW remixes) with Bonde De Role being signed to Diplo's label (and Fake Blood having a few more remixes of other artists on that label).

in some ways Fake Blood is remixing a "song" that's quite different than what he normally remixes. Ring Road is certainly a lot more laid back song. and Underworld gets a remix that is certainly a change from whatever it was they've been known for.
