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.
There's little doubt that Filter Dread has to be one of the most interesting producers operating in the extended Rave circles, taking influences from lots of UK sounds and techniques - from Hardcore to Jungle to Grime and Dubstep through to Eski-reductions and loop-based Beats.
After his critically acclaimed debut album 'Space Loops' that was released on cassette and later to be made part of the 'From The Reels' 2 x 12" collection, it's great to see FD further his sonic footprints with this six-track 12" via Ramp Recordings.
Kicking off with his trademark fusion of dancefloor oddities and 8bit decimation of reminiscent palettes and sounds, the EP's first three tracks showcase his uncompromisingly stranger sides, perhaps like the UK's grime answer to the skandinavian 'Skwee' sounds... conjuring strong images of Sega Mega Drive ventures from around the 90's and adding 'My First Sony' versions of Reece and Pulse basslines into the potent mix of madness.
As the disc continues, the palette darkens ever so slightly, almost like a progression through the levels of your favourite arcade game, with the big guns and soundtrack gems making their appearance as we aim for high-score.
Whilst Filter Dread's bareboned approach could be seen as an infant look at rave culture, it's strange nature and plastic-aesthetic are what set's it apart and makes it so damn enjoyable.... and that's not to say his tracks don't pack a punch at loud-volume... his stuff can surely make a dancefloor go mad if deployed at the right time.
From the ruff-and-rugged neo-junglist styles and skewed grime attitude, it's all in here, packaged in the unique Filter Dread style and fashion.
One last thing that we have to add, this is the kind of music that truly benefits from the added tactility and warmth added by it's transfer to cassette and vinyl formats... And Lewis from Stardelta did a grand job on this one too.
A unique and extraordinary piece of wax!
