How to use the reserve function
If you'd like to purchase items from our site but want to save money on shipping costs, you can use our reserve function to combine your orders over an unlimited period of time, and ship them together for one combined shipping price when you are ready.
Just hit the 'reserve' button at the checkout page as your shipping option when you've finished making your order, and your order will automatically be held in reserve here until you are ready for us to ship everything to you.You can keep as many orders in reserve with us via our site as you like, until you are ready to ship. Just send us an email when you are ready to ship your reserve orders, and we will get in touch with the combined shipping price, or ship for free if you have exceeded the minimum order amount for free shipping to your address.
Can the reserve function be used to get free shipping? Yes - If your combined order total is more than £50 within the UK, over £150 within the EU, or over £225 worldwide, we'll ship your order to you via courier service, for free.
Here's a step by step guide to using it:
1. Click on the account icon to log into your account.
If you don't have an account, please click 'create account' to make one. If you had an account on the old RWDFWD site, please create a new one with the same email address used on the old site - this will ensure your previous orders are brought through to your new account.
2. Add records to your cart as normal.
3. When you're ready to check out, select 'ship'.
4. Then select 'Reserve items' on the shipping method list, then continue to payment.
5. Once payment is complete, your order will show in your account as 'unfulfilled'. We will have put all the products aside in reserve for you to combine with other orders and ship later in bulk.
6. When you're ready to ship all the items you have in reserve, email us on info@rwdfwd.com and we will calculate the shipping due and arrange for payment to be taken.

EU Order info
Unfortunately, the UK is no longer part of the EU - This means that certain shipments sent to addresses there from us may be subject to tax and / or import duty - All orders sent from RWDWD are sent ‘DDU’ - That is, duty unpaid - any import tax and/or duty is the sole responsibility of the buyer.
If you would like to use our reserve function to group several orders into one large shipment, we can arrange for it to be sent tax and duty pre-paid so you don’t have to worry about it at a later date - Contact us for more information.
It's one of those records that catches you off guard pretty much from the minute the needle drops.
Perhaps it's to do with those somewhat unsettling, yet somehow still utterly sweet and highly infectious melodies that Shinichi Atobe lays totally bare, indeed naked, over the kind of raw, (im)perfected rhythms that had already gained him a place in the ranks of the Basic Channel label in the early 00's.
Along with his own bizarre style and approach, the kind of restraint and assured arrangement that has been championed by the the likes of Vainquer, Maurizio, Rhythm & Sound et al, can certainly be made out in the Japanese producers output, and it's that masterful patience coupled with a really, really deft ear for left-field dynamics and sound design, whilst holding up an unmistakably Nippon pop sensibility that must've gained him the respect with the Basic Channel lot, and in recent years with the fine ears of Miles & Sean aka Demdike Stare and their DDS label.
Wether it's over an obscured house groove or in one of his looping beatless abstractions, a lot of the cuts on this LP will stretch out as far and wide as possible over several minutes, letting you get so familiar with each of the ingredients you'll actually notice yourself feeling a little sad when the track is over and you have to say goodbye for the time being.
Thankfully each new track on this album has it's own peculiar rewards though.
And exactly this peculiarity, and the sheer addictiveness of each of these masterful loops is what makes this record so damn special. There is a kind of timelessness installed within each of the tracks and throughout the LP, that it feels as if the connections between them merely take you to a new place, not just further ahead in tracklist.
By the time it's unfolded into it's second half, you'll be lost happily, and when those broken chords sprawl out over that drawn out alien synth resonance and those jackin' claps, you'll be jerking a little tear and swaying from left to right without even noticing yourself........Don't worry, it's ok.
Masterpiece.
