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.
Equiknoxx break into new avenues via Demdike Stare's excellent DDS imprint, with two discs full of mind-blowing instrumentals from their Hard Drive, cherry picked by Manchester's legendary Jon K.
Unless you are a follower of the modern Dancehall sounds coming from Jamaica, or have been listening to The Heatwave, Swing Ting's Balraj Samrai, or - in our case, thanks Lurka for putting us on the rude 'Last Of The Mohicans' instrumental a few years back - the Equiknoxx name might not ring any bells, but you can rest assured that they have been making waves for some years now, putting forward their oblique dancehall sound, laying down instros for the likes of Ward21, Beenie Man, Fambo, T.O.K. and more key vocalists in the Jamaican scene.
What sets them apart, and in turn makes their specific output so fitting on the DDS label, is their raw & unhinged production style -
real bare bones riddims with just the right touch of 'commercial' along with a cool & deadly kind of restraint -
each frequency is delivered with a kind of effortless efficiency, a good ear for rhythm and a knack for unhinged dynamics & melody - this is head music as well as bogle music.
Recognisable by the different modulations of bird sounds, the Equiknoxx watermark only adds to the surreal, almost unnerving aesthetic, but all the while the tracks are still peppered with gunfinger moments - especially if you crank up the volume a lickle.
Instantly reminding of one of our favourite comp of dancehall instrumentals on MoWax, these cuts have just the right balance of computerised dancehall heritage and a leaning towards the contemporary palette of Hip Hop, R&B and more minimalist dancefloor sounds.
Fans of Sly & Lenky, Mafia & Fluxy, Timbaland, Gaslamp Killer should take instant note...
All others should also give this one a good try - it'll grown on ya, trust us.
