'Bearbeitung' and 'Remix' can both refer to a new version of something that already exists. 'Bearbeitung' is broader and fits especially in music and literature when a work is adapted or changed. 'Remix' is used mainly in music, when a song is newly mixed, for example with a different rhythm or new parts. In modern language, 'Remix' can also be used figuratively for a new mix of old ideas. 'Bearbeitung' sounds more general and often somewhat more formal, while 'Remix' sounds more specific and more modern.
