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.
Long time Tape-Echo associate and occasional studio partner Anina steps up to the meticulously unorganised Tape-Echo cassette series with her ‘Blue Horizon’ tape.
While it may have taken a few months longer than it should to see the light of day, we’re certain it was worth it - Anina once again showing why she’s one of Bristol’s most in-demand operators over two sides of tape.
The A side is a sort of part 2 to her original Tape-Echo mix from the start of the year - Crushingly dark half-step D&B (if you can even call it that? It’s D&B, but not as we know it) spliced with royal blue ambient interludes and a mixing style that’s more akin to techno than drum n bass (or jungle, depending on how trendy you’re feeling). Jokes aside, it’s a mix that’s been getting a hell of a lot of play around here, simply because it twists tunes that shouldn’t make work well together up into a refreshing new whole - not easily done and something that we’re still trying to pick apart.
Coming in at just over 50 minutes long, the A side is a proper lights off, blinds shut trip for introspective thought, or just some serious spliff blazing if you prefer…Recorded right here at the Tape-Echo HQ in one take, we’d like to think the title is taken from the colour of the heavily discounted blue fabric that serves as makeshift ‘soundproofing’ in there but who knows.
The flip side is a freshly remastered take of her original Tape-Echo mix, run off onto tape as a permanent archive and housed in a risograph printed J-card, also done nearby at Bathtub Prints. The blue foil lined tape has an onbody print too and is offered up in an edition of 50, although once we’ve allocated copies to the crew and beyond, who knows how many will be left - so move fast if you want in…You won't be dissapointed.
