About this item

The MFA: "The Difference It Makes" returns with remixes by Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), Nathan Fake, and The MFA.

With the original release of ‘The Difference it Makes’ racking up more than a million streams, the 2004 hit track by The MFA has been remixed and remastered. This is the debut release on The MFA’s new label - Deskbound Complex. All tracks have been mastered by Jason Goz at Transition Studio. The EP features four mixes:

"Original MFA Mix"
One of Pitchfork’s top 50 tracks of 2004, Resident Advisor described it at the time as, 'Beautiful slices of dubby-tech house with compressed guitars and abstract sliced vocals. From start to finish, the track is minimal in nature. I like it, and I think you will too... The MFA has created something of a hidden gem.'

The record went on to receive support from Gerd Janson, Carl Cox, BLOND:ISH, Sven Väth, James Holden, Michael Mayer, Tim Sweeney, Dusky, Ata, Joseph Capriati, Robag Wruhme, Henry Saiz, Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo, Jody Wisternoff, James Grant, Joe Goddard, and more.

"Joe Goddard Remix"
With plenty of plays from Grammy-nominated Joe Goddard of Hot Chip, it seemed only right to ask him to remix the track. The result is an electro-dance number with a big breakdown and main room appeal.

"Nathan Fake Remix"
Originally released on James Holden's Border Community, The MFA pay homage with a remix by former labelmate, Nathan Fake – who the duo first met on an internet chat room at the turn of the millennium.

"The MFA’s #23 Remix"
Reimagined 23 years after it was first written (with a nod to The KLF), the remix pushes the track deeper onto the dancefloor, with a fresh take on the original.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Brilliantly collated and well timed reissue / remix package of this sublime, mid 00s electro-house ripper. All four versions are killer.
