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.
With more than a few tears of joy, we are overjoyed to present to you here, one of the best Bristolian combinations we could think of: Sunun and Robin Stewart, on BKV.
A duo that speak to each other via heart, soul, faders, buttons & power circuits, and the occasional microphone interaction.
A pairing that can coax beauty in the eyes of the beholder, out of dirt, filth and dankness, like no other.
Putting those machines to work, coaxing the gnarliest body music & industrial dub out of the speakers and into our ears, the two have now come forward with their 'debut proper', unveiling their first blueprint of intentions, opening the gates on those mystery shrouded outings on ATC compilations, and leading us down endless stairways into regions unknown.
"Sludge machine music slapped through the infinite mixing desk by SRS - the combined mind of Sunun and Robin Stewart. At any point Data Fossil’s giddy industrial riddims could collapse under their own weight. There are Sunun inputs and there are Robin Stewart inputs - but everything is offered up to their machines gladly for an output of nu-human-beat. Voices drift through the mix in hushed Italian and Robin’s gruff roboticized drawl, floating dub chords left hanging for cavernous subs and rattled bones, distant harps and arps, a sudden blast of trills. ‘Spit Fossil’ itself is a clipped noise-pop wonder - the aural equivalent of a lights-on Avon dancefloor with only the weirdest left standing.
Recorded on the rooftop of a housing project called Camelot in 2018, the two Bristol locals debuted the live / unplanned collaboration in an inflatable arena called ‘Toldo’ in the Brunswick Club ballroom (RIP). Then again at Young Echo at the Cube Microplex - a night where it’s said anything is possible (Sunun even dubbed Guest's live human heartbeat there recently….). If Data Fossil is hard to describe - it’s just the sound of the musical freedom of a city that will never run dry."
As we write these last words, to sum up what's already been so aptly said by BKV Operator M above, we find ourselves nervously twitching on our chair, fiending for volume, agonising over the fact that there are many soundsystems going cold in storage right now, and that the familiar smell of last nights sweat & beer inside our venues, is by now the smell of yesteryear, and is slowly, in many cases turning into a more grave smell of death, probably reeking at putrid levels that even the most determined won't be able to bring back to life.
Yet, hearing these sounds gives us hope. No matter how fucked up this world may get, how dirty certain reptilian puppets and puppeteers can make us feel in our complicity, no matter how disheartened we feel by those constant, over-riding actions of those with power, with money, tanked up on greed, fuelled by hate, blinded by ego....
On the third continuous replay of this record, we're ready for anything that is to come.
Let it all burn, we'll be dancing in the fire, and we'll use that fire as a torch when night time comes.
