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.
Lovely to see this label shaping up, coming with the first piece of wax, hot on the heels of that lush tape linkup with poet Daniela Dyson.
This 7" features a new hit from the Jabu dubplate box, probably Jabu's most 'grimey' and most 'junglist' yet... Although of course it's still sweet like sugar, and filled to the brim with that off-kilter street soul / dream pop vibe they have been so consistently honing over the years, with records for the likes of Blackest Ever Black, NoCorner, and of course on Young Echo home turf.
Jagged drum machine hits & blips fling off over a dubbed out underbelly of warped melody on this one, and a big diving subbass... That was our jungle reference earlier, and we love this unlikely combination of sounds.
This smooth gunfinger rhythm gets the perfect buttering with a loved up vocal from Alex Rendall (one third of Jabu) who let's loose one of his most RnB vocal injections yet. All out smooth operations.
We saw them perform this cut earlier this year on a series of live shows in Russia (ah, the memories) and this track right here was the one that always stood out to us.
Very nice that it's been pressed up now, and, even better, in combination with good friend and ultra-skilled rhythm and dub purveyor Sunun.
Sunun gives the whole thing a delicate & intricate yet driving wash of reverberation and echo'ing, adding to that ghostly soul, and on the flip (every good 7" has a dub on the flip) Sunun re-imagines the track live on the mixing desk, adding fader sliding strip-to-the-core treatment, and submerging the instrumental into new realms.
By the end of this record, you'll be swimming in it with a big smile on your face, eyes half closed. That's what we did anyway.
Do yourself a favour?
