JoeFarr / Borai / Gaunt / Hiroaki Iizuka - Forecast Part 1
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.
London club-night turned label THEM Records presents a new series entitled Forecasts which, in their words (and going by the title), compiles a series of tracks by producers with forthcoming material on the label.
Traditionally known for their pounding, industrial-tinged techno, this sees them venture in to some newer territory on the B side, with Hotline favourite Borai submitting a dancefloor-storming jungle banger, very much in-keeping with THEM's no nonsense attitude but providing a fresh, more agile take on their particular brand of heaviness.
Even more interesting is Gaunt's presence here. Still a fairly new producer, his only released work so far was for Beneath's Mistry label - an excellent debut effort that's been desperately crying for a follow-up in the couple of years since. He turns in a tough effort here - La Haine is more directly dancefloor focussed than his Mistry effort, but maintains that off-kilter, UK edge that makes his tracks really stand out. A top, top effort this one, and straight in our record bags.
Previous label releaser Hiroaki Iizuka and Bristolian local JoeFarr have both always had a knack for making techno that sounds incredibly individual - and here they both deliver the goods yet again. Iizuka's contribution is all about that frantic, detuned synth and squarewave bassline that places it in a space somewhere between techno, electro and EBM without ever sounding quite like any of those genres. JoeFarr meanwhile, combines some jaw-dropping sound design with a constantly shifiting rhythm section and an unhealthy dose of aggression for what might be his most impressive work yet.
If this is the quality we can come to expect from THEM in the coming months, then they have our full attention.
JoeFarr - Ty Mawr
Hiroaki Iizuka - MMM
Gaunt - La Haine
