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.
Following up the collaborative Comfortnoise Ploy, and the previous new.com 12" - don't go following any hyperlinks, its just a play on the artists surname - the label now come forward with - in our opinion - the most refined and deadly plate in this quality series to date -
Across six tracks (counting in at around 12ish mins per side - so the full sound dynamic and vinyl pressure is maintained) Neukom takes cues from the percussive, bass-centric sound of early Tempa, early Livity Sound and other grime & dubstep mutations from Bristol & beyond, and feeds the rhythm sensibilities through his own dubwise lens - smothered in tape-delays, spring reverb and bursting with analogue warmth - 'make the bass sound round' as certain engineers in Jamaica would say.
From the infectious - we dare you not to move! - percussive shuffle of 'Milan', it's clear that we're in for the good stuff here. Start with a bang, as they say.
Luckily the pressure does not drop. The 2nd cut, which presents bass shudders and kick drum stutters that tumble their way through congas and phased out claps, sits in perfectly loose syncopation with those percolating hi-hats - there's a definite step to these first two tracks, but it's a constantly rolling, nonstop moving affair - we're very much into that.
Saying that - dynamics are important, and too much of the same can water down a consecution - Neukom knows this, so we are given the Dubclusion as the final cut on the A side. The dubbiest one of them all perhaps, revolving around a filtered skank and stepping drums.
Flip the disc, and the energy levels are brought right back up again -
This time with a steppin UK techno swagger that lets booming subs lay the rhythmic bed for acidic filter zaps and polyrhythmic percs - this one is a roller too, and it's sure to make you sweat, if you act accordingly and move to it.
Finishing up the journey, we got Brainbridge and Cessation - two interstellar dub journeys through the vaporous remains of the atmosphere which the record laid the foundations for with it's previous cuts.
Wicked stuff, we've been rinsing our copy here at the HQ - it's a joy to listen to.
Edition of 150, high quality wax, with pantone print sleeve, printed inlay and sticker.
