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.
7. Sit tight and wait for your records to arrive in the post!

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.
We've been fans of this mysterious, multi-headed project from the cryptic SOOPA collective from Porto for a little while now (admittedly nowhere long enough though!) ever since our friend Adam from the Schwet krew pointed them out to us. He knows our taste.
Their 2018 tape 'Beheaded Totem' on House Of Mythology showed an utterly earthed and grounded approach to electronics, polyrhythm & dub technique, even mixing the energy of New Orlean's marching bands into the midst of their newly forged, all encompassing drum-sound.
The tape wows with a deadly harmony between live instrumentation and electronics, a mix of free-spirited musicianship and inventive production & recording technique - Jonathan Uliel Saldanha with the mixing desk, and a hell of a lot of ear for detail, providing the central mind for the final sonic craft.
The outcome is a dense layer of unhinged percussion, wind instruments and effectively human, sonic interaction fired through the circuits of plate reverbs and tape delays, and left to crash over foundations of bass, like the ocean vs the rocks.
We never got the chance to see them live, which we're still gutted about to this day, so it was a very welcome sight to hear about this compilation of crucial live moments from HHY & The Macumbas travels in recent years, now coming out on Nyege Nyege Tapes.
This cassette collates a series of live actions in various places between 2017-2019, around the time of the aforementioned 'Beheaded Totem' release, and featuring live version excursions of similar sonic themes, with the added energy of that spacial feeling that a well mic'd up live recording can give you.
The recordings range from home turf in Portugal, to places such as 'an oil tank in Tenerife' (yep, can confirm this is true, we've been there), and also in tow with On:U sound originator and veteran dub / post-punk / industrial navigator Adrian Sherwood, in an open air setting taking additional control of the board on (the killer!) first and second excerpts of this tape.
The tape moves with a constant heartbeat, clattering rhythms dance with chest pounding percussion and echo chamber sonics morph with near subliminal discordancies and harmonic reverberations, like a thick, dense cloud of smoke around the drums and the bass -
a real whirlwind throughout, proper 'full of life', never easing up on their unique take on polyrhythmic, dubbed out voodoo.
...Highest recommendations for you to take that ride.
Edition of 150.
With four panel silkscreened J-Card.
