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.
Almost 3 years since releasing the formidable BR Greaze / Full Clip single, Lurka returns to Hotline for a quickfire 12”, ending the year in fine style and marking the label’s 10th release.
New Lurka material is always a treat and these two cuts are no exception. The A-side, ‘Ritual Dingers’ has been causing quite a stir on in-the-know dance floors for a few months now. His ear for melody has been developing over the last couple of singles for Black Acre and the Carpenter-esque arpeggios have now developed into full-on phrases.
Already highly regarded as an engineer and producer, Lurka’s drums are always on point and work magic on a big system. Ritual Dingers rolls a deceptively complex pattern of brittle snares, ghost hits and bruising kicks underneath a woozy, space-tripping melody - a captivating juxtaposition of enchanting keys and tempered percussion, at points falling away to pure, undulating drum workouts that defy any easy classification, sitting just as comfortably alongside some of the scuffed techno coming from The Corner or L.I.E.S. camps as it does alongside the warped house-leaning material from Dexter or Roman Flügel.
The flip, ‘Choke’, has been in the safe hands of a few choice selectors for the last year or so and is finally pressed up and ready to go - if you’ve caught Ishan Sound play over the last 12 months you’ve probably heard this one get a pull up already… A totally uncompromising beast of a track that clouts listeners over the head with its drop-forged drums and refuses to let up the pace with rigid double time hats. Utterly dangerous in the wrong hands.
