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.
It was their release from Creta Kano, however, that really grabbed our attention - ‘Skyway Motel’ is a masterclass in sun kissed electro, pushing rigid drum patterns to the front and lacing them with scan line synth lines - this was backed up with the Basic Channel indebted ‘False Water’ which was a firm favourite with us.
We were all ears when the next release on the Kelly Twins label arrived at the office - Looking to some of Bristol’s most vital new producers to interpret the original Creta Kano tracks in their unique styles.
It’s only fitting, then, that Lurka, who had been supporting ‘Skyway Motel’ from day one was asked to refix the title track - Reshaping the orginal wistful melody around burnished kick drums and brittle hats which steam through at a clip. Peppered with crafty edits and inimitable sound design, Lurka is on top form here, working his magic with the signature second drop madness which sees him deploy a hovercraft bass to ratchet up the gully levels an extra notch for packed dancehalls. This one has seen support from the likes of Pev and Ben UFO if you needed any further persuasion!
Bruce comes with his mix of ‘False Water’ for the first track on the B side. Working the original Basic Channel indebted original into new forms with his ‘Hi-Fi’ mix. Slowing the pace down and compressing a few choice elements into a sub-tropical space - thick with tape hiss and pierced by glassy reverb, a hyperreal take on the original and one that we keep revisiting.
The collaborative ‘Osamazm’ project of Sam Neek & Amos Childs are tasked with refixing the chopped and screwed ‘Skyway 81’ - an appropriate choice for the pair who have explored similar territory for Idle Hands and NoCorner. Resampling the original and slowing it a little further, creating a melancholic space that hints at euphoria - it’s magic.
