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.

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.
Woah, killer combination styles here -
Great to see one of Iran's wildest - Saint Abdullah - link up with Jason Nazary on drums here once more, following up their off-the-hook previous piece for the (truly singular) DISCIPLES label.
This contains the spirit of free jazz, but more unhinged, sonically flexible and free, more punk perhaps. All the cacophony, all the freedom, all the unhinged expression.
Saint Abdullah's fearlessly fizzing, tape-saturated vocal hack ups, the glimpses of field recordings in the noise-strafed haze, their unique style of musical intermittence and distillation of moods into wholly abstracted forms, all of the life-force and rawness, comes into perfect, head-spinning rotation here, together with and the tumultuous drum sound of Jason Nazary.
Beautifully free, and anarchist, no-rules music - full respect to the crew involved here!
This is a companion album to Evicted In The Morning (released back in Ferbruary), but whereas that previous collaboration was all “limpid synth explorations and skittery rhythmic accompaniment” (The Guardian) or “like casting light onto crystal” (Electronic Sound), Looking Through Us is the previous sound inverted: senses overloaded as sound is layered upon sound, like someone amplifying multiple arcade machines and staging a soundclash with a mosque. The stellar track titles give some sense of the music that lies within: “Claustrociety”, “Lo-Tech Mystic”, “Dimension Disintegration”. Second track “Amoo Sam” features guest saxophone from Patrick Shiroishi. Arriving accompanied by a tripped-out live performance video (contaning none of the music from either release), this is a total head-shredder from start to finish, the possibilities of where they go next truly endless.
Saint Abdullah consists of Tehran-born brothers Mohammad and Mehdi Mehrabani-Yeganeh, who have been exploring a diverse palette of sounds over their releases to date, including collaborations with Eomac and Model Home. They’ve released music on labels including Other People, Important, Room40 and Planet Mu."
Jason Nazary is a drummer and composer from Atlanta and based in Brooklyn. Fascinated by the intersection of acoustic and electronic music, Jason has been a force in New York's creative music scene for over a decade. As well as his own solo work he also co-leads a number of ensembles, among them the dystopian electro noise duo Clebs with singer Emilie Weibel, and until recently Anteloper (International Anthem), an improvising modular beat shredding duo with the much-missed Jaimie Branch.
