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'.

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.

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.
Utter grit and dancefloor destruction on these, cut loud and heavy with an Ossia remix, on a 12", presented in a similarly spartan visual aesthetic, Studio Tape-Echo at the controls.
"It’s been almost a year since we kicked off the Mechanical Reproductions project with the debut release from Via Maris. It’s been a little while in the making but for the second record we turn once again to the Bristol underground and another debut…
After causing all kinds of mayhem in the dankest club and performance spaces Bristol has to offer, the duo comprised of Max Kelan Pearce and Gordon Apps, better known as Bad Tracking, offer up their debut release on Mechanical Reproductions.
Operating somewhere between studio productions and live performances, the pair have been terrorising venues with their shows for some time now - this, their debut release captures the spirit of their performances without losing anything in translation to vinyl.
Both XP-3 & its counterpart, XP-1, are drenched in tape hiss, heavy with industrial grade drums and idiosyncratic percussion. Not relying on formulas or tried and tested arrangements, both tracks explore the space between studio productions and live performance - flailing trails of snarling synthesis, sustained delays enveloped in ferric haze, unexpected bleeding in of machine noise, start and stop button punches puncturing the mix,
their working processes exposed and having a very deliberate effect on the end result - Drawing lines from the cutup tape works of Burroughs, the performances work of Throbbing Gristle through to the Birmingham school of techno and Virus era neurofunk.
Blackest Ever Black / Young Echo's very own Ossia provides his take on XP-1 for the last track - reforming the original through a web of delays, rattling faders and redlining channels - the very outreaches of dubwise production techniques being explored to their fullest and bleeding into the unexplored realm of industrial grime.
Edition of 50, ships with 12" colour poster.
Designed by Studio Tape-Echo.
Mastered and cut by Lewis at Stardelta.
