23 years after its debut on Border Community, The MFA’s all-time classic The Difference It Makes returns remastered via new imprint Deskbound Complex, complete with remixes from Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), The MFA, and Border Community alumnus Nathan Fake.

Some tracks slip into the bloodstream of club culture, and never quite leave. The MFA’s ‘The Difference It Makes‘ is one of them. Originally released in 2002 on James Holden’s then-new label Border Community, this track quietly rewired expectations, an unassuming computer-built track that went on to connect with ravers, DJs, and outsiders alike.

Now arrives the reissue of The Difference It Makes, remastered and remixed for 2025 by Joe Goddard of Hot Chip and Nathan Fake. It also marks the debut release of Deskbound Complex, The MFA’s new imprint.
