With an unapologetic approach to music, this label fearlessly pushes boundaries and challenges conventions. They have gained a reputation for releasing unique and unconventional sounds that defy categorization.

Founded on the belief that music should be free from restrictions, We Release Whatever The Fuck We Want Records has become a platform for artists who refuse to conform. Their diverse roster showcases experimental, avant-garde, and genre-defying music that captivates listeners with its raw authenticity.

WRWTFWW Records release Kenji Kawai’s complete soundtrack to Mamoru Oshii's 1993 superb political thriller science-fiction mecha anime Patlabor 2: The Movie, available on vinyl for the first time ever and housed in a beautiful heavy gatefold sleeve with obi, as well as on digipack CD. Both versions come with liner notes by the great Masaaki Hara.

A true soundtrack maestro, Kenji Kawai is behind the legendary soundscapes of cult animes and movies such as Ghost in the Shell, Avalon, Ring, Ip Man, and Seven Swords among numerous others. Patlabor 2: The Movie (Original Soundtrack) is one of his most experimental offerings, an outstanding palette of emotion-filled ambient atmospherics and percussion mastery breathing beautifully through Kawai’s minimalism meets modern classical approach. His symphony of moods paints a delicate picture of urban isolation, a central theme in the movie, but doesn’t hide hints of hope for a joyful future.
