He gets hold of the masters and recombines them (at most, he adds a rhythm track to make it suitable for clubs). Stevie's vocals that we hear on a remix were more than likely recorded at Lindsey's helm, just not used by him for the album.
That would be true, I would think, for Stevie's dance and club remixes of Stand Back and Planets of the Universe and Long Way to Go. We hear her singing stuff that we don't hear on the album cuts. But those are parts she originally did sing—but the producer or engineer faded before she got there or took it out of the final mix.

Yep, that's the norm, though I've always wondered if Stevie was a special case in this situation, given her lack of involvement with Tango, and the band possibly wanting to beef up her perceived presence in the wake of Lindsey leaving.
