Do It Again (Massano Remix): Out 25th July 2025

[Wolkenkrabber]

This week's Essential Mix from techno guy Adam Beyer has Do It Again (Massano Edit) around half an hour into the mix.  I googled it and it seems to be called the Massano Remix elsewehere.
According to 1001 Tracklists it has been getting plays from Anyma, Dom Dolla and Camelphat...

Anyway, here it is. It's also on Soundcloud - same length.

The Chemical Brothers - Do It Again (Massano Remix)

I know y'all ignored me when I first posted this in Chemical Spotting, but that's your mistake!
The video upload in my post above is gone, but I suspect a new one will appear by Friday. Incidentally, the unofffical soundcloud uploads are also gone.

The remix has continued to receive plays from the likes of Chris Avantgarde, Fatboy Slim, and Eli Brown (he remixed Orbital!).
Meanwhile on the Chems insta page, they have various collections of insta stories. The most recent collection is called Remixes, and when you click it you get one thing: this insta post from Massano.

Slide 2 spells it out pretty clearly.

Is this an improvement on the original? Nah. Could it keep the Chems relevant in 2025? Maybe...
You can still listen it in Adam Beyer's Essential Mix circa 33 mins.

but that's your mistake!

Listening to the clips, I feel confident that no mistakes were made*.

Could it keep the Chems relevant in 2025? Maybe...

Sad to think that the original wouldn't cut it for folks today, and yet somehow a squelchier synth on TOP of the original is what might be needed.

*in regards to the remix, not to ignoring your valuable input!

It's here and it's on the Chems official YT channel:

Y'all may remember last year we had an officially sanctioned or licensed remix of HBHG by Artbat that came out on Positiva. By contrast this track has come out on Universal.
I can't think of any particular reason why Universal would commission a remix of DIA in 2025, in fact my hunch is that Massano had the idea and then Universal said yes.
Anyway the business end of it doesn't really matter to us fans. What matters is: Is it any good?

Listening to the clips, I feel confident that no mistakes were made*...*in regards to the remix...

Well it sounds punchy and clean. But if I'm honest, if I hadn't serendipitously 'disovered' the remix in an Essential Mix in early June, I probably wouldn't be that excited about it. At the same time, I'd be happy to see it riding high in the dance charts for summer 2025. It's a perfectly acceptable effort.

It seems it got an airing at The Sphere back in January:

EDIT: Oh the Chems have posted this January Sphere clip on insta today (first slide).

The Chems played original DIA (extended) early in their Japan DJ set back in May. Perhaps they were inspired to dig it out because of this new remix?

Oh another YouTuber has now uploaded the "Extended mix" which is just 4:43 long.
