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 pleasure to get our hands on gear from this label, and the fine extended crew that feed it - Lycox reporting in from Paris, but with a spiritual, musical home in African rhythm and Lisboa-attitude.
Across 6 unhinged cuts that are aimed at dancefloors, actually let's call it 'DANCEfloors' because this ain't no head-nod and chin-scratch type scenario fodder here, this is real deal, leg-shakin' / hip-movin / body-boppin type music - choc full of rhythm and loaded up on melodic vibes as the perfect counterpart - but - in true Principe fashion, it's dance music but it's also kinda weird, curious and not shy of humour. So alright, you can scratch your chin a bit - just make sure those legs don't stop moving!
From the initiating bounce of Eu Mbora Dou Bue Show, the deep, heads-down afro-house styles of 'Yoga' & 'Wildin' and the kinda anthemic RnB touched Momentos Únicos, DJ Lycox makes it all sound easy, but trust us - it ain't!
There's definitely an introspective edge to a lot of the sounds and rhythms here as well, but the momentum is never left to hang far behind - mainly due to the constantly shifting, always-inventive percussive elements and polyrhythms which maintain that unmissable dance energy, that constant forward rhythm. But there's also a ton of fun and weirdness in this music, something that will make it stand out in years to come, taking it far away from your average dance music regurgitation of the last decades, and keeping things fresh, unique and not over-stewed or contemplated for the sake of it.
I mean, not many people can get away with what Lycox did in that 'Southside' tune... It's proper silly, but you could still work up a real sweat to it in a club, no doubt. FM synth-esque orchestral stab and scratch-percussion on sound safari through the Jungle, with congas, water sounds, toy town fx and - not least - Elephant trumpeting - all part of the sound artillery. It's as mad as it sounds on paper.....
Basically, across all six tracks, there's a hell of a lot of juice in these fruits. Give them a good squeeze on the hifi for ultimate refreshment - just make sure you don't stop moving yeah?!
