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.
Served up on a 12", put out in DIY style by the two on this new XRA-minded imprint, the two producer-extraordinaires come correct with four tracks of explosive experiments in sound and pressure.
Kicking off with 'Lines Of Light Leave No Trace', we hear a kind of signalling of the madness that ensues when these two are let loose on the full range of dynamic and frequency range, from warped vocals that splash through the speakerbox like waves of granular sound shot through the matrix in hyperspeed, to speed-modulated rhythmix and lessons in tension-release.
Now that you have been shot through the portal, it's time to get into it with the 2nd cut on this disc: Bee Track.
Bee Track goes full insectoid over a steppin', shoulder-rolling percussive underbody, pure trip-ready sonics that will make you do the headspin, weather you're a b-boy/girl or not.
Headnodding and foot-stepping is allowed, but this one's for the waistline too.
This one's an absolute treat, and the perfect middle ground between hyper-futuristic sound design, and good old fashioned musicality / danceability. Test it out for yourself.
Flip it, and you'll get the third slice of the madness:
'It Lives' let's Annhilation type synthesis sway in a kind of nightmarish contortion of junglist breakbeat ruffage and dreadnaught ambience. Once again, this one plays perfectly with tension and release, something Bruce has made his artform, and something that lends itself really well to Lurka's unique, and forward-thinking way of mixing dynamics, sound-design, up-for-it rhythm conduction, and a knack for some of the most serious, cantankerous bass we've heard since Dilly did his damage with the Valve soundsystem - honestly, this one's ruff, tough and dangerous. Highly emotive gear.
Last on this quadruple-threat of sonics and rhythms, we got 'DOINK!' and its final charge of overblown club sonics - shit, can I smell smoke? Something's burning I think?... Watch yer bassbins ladies and gentlemen.
Hell of a disc.
upfront copies right here, get 'em while they're hot.
Stickered sleeve, printed centre label.
Mastered and cut by Lewis at Stardelta, and sounding mighty good on the speakers.
