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.
Bang! here it is.
Dj Die Soon on the buttons, channeling the dirt for Morphine Records, with his first album to date -
Proper bassbin exercises, feedback acrobatics, vocal punk and industrial-strength dubwise from the don Dysu, with Kappa Slap.
No idea what the title means, but this album sure does slap.
All made in a live, and direct way (he states the good old Roland SP404 as one of his main tools), DJ Die Soon's music feels purposely raw, honest and upfront in the best ways. Conventional arrangements are often trashed, or at least drawn out, or cut short in favour of a more human type of mood that draws between fizzing slomotion explosions, to earthquake inducing sub convulsions, through to skitty tek-no dub & dancehall, all geared straight at the body & brain.
A very nice addition to his sonic raucous, is the inclusion of several vocalists (quite possibly recorded during DJ Die Soon's time spent in Uganda, at Nyege Nyege festival) -
for example, the likes of Ekko Bazz (last seen mashing it up for Hakuna Kulala), who manages to channel his fierce vocal style in a more smoked out, but equally menacing style on the 2nd cut, and MC Yallah (Kenya's first lady of grime?!) who let's the waves of bass and driving percussion swarm below her vocal cool in a very, very stylishly-energetic way also.
If Yallah and Ekko Bazz and Infinite Lives were perhaps keeping their vocal cool for a reason, maybe it's because they knew that Lord Spikeheart, who jumps in near the end, would bring the deadly poison on the mic later on, with the soundsystem / punk hardcore of 'Minions'.
By the the time we reach that final cut with 'MA' on the mic, we're left for dead, in some kind of hyperspace.
Proper end of the world soundsystem bangers.
But actually a really cool, ebb&tow type of listen in consecution too -
In fact, as a whole, the LP has this kind of suspense and (dare we say it?) restraint to it...
Stripped back rhythms and vocal injections seem to leave extra space for fizzing frequency, psychotic arpeggios and (let's not forget) big, big, big lashings of bassline to do the damage in extra effect, once it really hits (and believe us, it does).
Someone please string up a big soundsystem right now, so we can let this one punish us.
Play this nice and loud, it'll do you good! Promise!
