Few tracks can lay claim to the kind of enduring magic that ‘The Difference It Makes‘ by The MFA holds. Issued on vinyl via Border Community in 2004, the lo-fi tech house anthem became an instant cult classic.
Now, 23 years later, ‘The Difference It Makes‘ returns, remixed, remastered and sounding as epic as ever. The reissue arrives on Deskbound Complex – a new label launched by The MFA with a mission to release timeless, alternative electronic music that prioritises experience over algorithm.
The package comes with a heavyweight set of reworks. Joe Goddard (Hot Chip) reshapes the track into a deep, floor-ready cut designed for both the club and the living room. Long-time friend and kindred spirit Nathan Fake delivers a rave-soaked remix that surges with euphoric, mind-bending energy. Meanwhile, The MFA themselves return to their own classic, amplifying its power with a fresh stadium-sized reinterpretation that pays homage to the original while bringing it firmly into the present.
For those who know, The Difference It Makes has always been one of those rare tracks that makes the hairs stand on end. For those about to discover it for the first time, this reissue is a reminder that some records never lose their magic – they only evolve.
The Difference It Makes (Remixed & Remastered) is scheduled for release in November via Deskbound Complex. Pre-order a vinyl copy from Inverted Audio Record Store.
