Metrist - Pollen Pt II
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.
Always a nice occasion when a new TD record arrives at HQ here, and this latest excursion from Metrist, a staple on the label and who also appeared under the L.Sae alias on one of the earliest Timedance records from about 5 years ago now - wow, that brings back some memories!
Anyway, let's stop pondering on the past, who needs that?!
This one is about as 2020 as it gets. What is 2020 though? You know what, let's say this one is about as 2021, or 2022 as it gets. Feels better.
What we're trying to say in a very convoluted way here - been in between these speakers for a bit too long I think - is that this the kind of futureproof, yet totally timely (pun wasn't intended, but it is now) gear that we've come to love and expect from Metrist, who has found his perfect home with Timedance, the label that young Batu build from ground up, to being one of the most respected labels in the scene - partly due to tunes like this, from this ever-growing family of musically and technically advanced nutters.
The first cut KJ Receder, opens up with x-amount of sweat-inducing, hands-in-the-fucking-air kinda feeling, with a proper electrified, and fully-alive synthline that staccato's it's way around a thumpin' kick drum, and zipped up squarewaves that sound like they've been kept in Mr. Oizo's fridge for the last couple of decades, waiting for the right time to burst out and raise some smiles, move some legs.
Well here it is, and it was worth the wait. Raise a glass, but be careful because that drink will spill when the crowd starts moshin'.
Next up, another naughty-naughty tune, titled 'QQraasi Qraasi' and showing off with some very-very crisp sound design, almost reaching Sophie kinda levels of pop-extremism, and coupling them with the kind of bounce we haven't heard since 'Claptrap'.... Or was it the one on the flip - forgot the name - anyway, big compliment right there!
Last, but not least, Metrist goes at it with a bit of added gut-punch energy, steppin' up the pace with a killer of a kick drum (damn, he's good at those) and proper weirdo sound collages.
This one will have you gurning and rushing by the time that widescreen hardcore pad comes swarming in and flexing round your brain -
no drugs needed though, safe for the homezone rave - no worries.
Killer stuff, don't sleep.
