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.
The accumulation of months of hard work down in the Dubkasm studio, Shady Grove is a homage to Bristol's St. Paul's, and the many places of inspiration, culturally and musically, that it offered to the likes of Stryda & Digi, especially during the 90's....
"We dedicate this album to the community of St Pauls in Bristol, now being stifled by gentrification. We hope this LP is a musical window into a time when the neighbourhood, despite being plagued by poverty and constant racist intrusion from the authorities, had an energy, a rebellious spirit and nightlife that inspired the music which has made Bristol world famous."
Musically speaking, this LP is purpose built for the Dub LP format - stick on the record and let it play from start to finish, with no interruption!
Shady Grove, whilst inimitably 'Dubkasm' all the way - nods to the benchmarks and signature styles of original dubwise production - wether that's a vintage tape-delayed, spring reverb'd analog sound as we know it from the founders of dub during the 70s, or a wicked & wild chain of digital effects, as heard in the later 80's and during the 90's, by producers such as Sly & Robbie or Philip 'Fattis' Burrel, the name behind the Exterminator label.
Another proud factor is the inclusion of so many great recording artists - from Dub Judah to Blood Shanti, through to Tom Fenech (the Victory Hornsman) and Rider Shafique, who appears on the title track, a previously unreleased dubwise cut of 'Enter The Gates', the LP features a whole heap of singers and players of instruments, just like the best of the dub LPs.
The LP is one of those that you'll be able to stick on in years to come - a highly enjoyable listen and a true masterclass in dub technique, Dubkasm style!
Visually, it's Studio Tape-Echo at the controls, of course!
And the result is a raw but stylish design that recalls classic dub as it much as it stands on it's own as a timeless reductionist artwork, almost like the visual equivalent of a dub version.
Heavyweight vinyl,
hand-stamped paper inner sleeve.
Mastered & cut by Lewis at Stardelta.
Comes with 12" x 12" b&w printed insert, with a special text from Dubkasm explaining the background history behind each track title.
