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.
This one was always going to happen, you knew it if you've been (like us) following the ever-strengthening link between Bokeh & Jay Glass.
Having put their trust in his dealings with delay, first via the glacial dancehall tape (BKV002), excellent cassette & dubplate business, as well as the esteemed collaboration with NYC's Leslie Winer, it feels right for the industrial-leaning, version-loving BKV label to continue the mutual trust and love with an artist who obviously shares the same vision...
A vision that denies accurate categorisation, but finds new & common ground in the vast explorations of unique sound & style, and all the good things that come with it.
Jay Glass Dubs has been steadily up'ing the levels with releases on BKV, Ecstatic Recordings & Berceuse Heroique over recent time, and the album, entitled Epitaph is an offering that won't fade, no matter what comes next.
It's been on repeat ever since it got leaked to us a little while back, and it's a real pleasure to have the physical representation - served in stylish sleeve by don Patrick Savile - here for dispatch pleasure, to your door and onto your turntable.
Right from the opening track, with the all-encompassing chamber echo on the (we heard rumours: ancient) greek vocal meditations, and those rather rude snare roll/hi-hat combinations versus that hollow angelic voice and the anguished delays on vox hits in that scene-setting opening track -
it is clear that Epitaph is set to open new doors into new worlds, in intricate, stunning ways.
The album presents itself as a complex, yet woozy and ultra dream-like mesh of inventive rhythms and shape-shifting arrangements that expand into endless space and eternal width.
Within each track, as one element fades away into the distance, the responding melodic counterpart is already shifting into the opening, creating a constant flux and movement around the ominous rumble of drum & bass, and the dreamscape arrangements of voice & altered instrumentation...
The album moves like a light show, with new horizons, new forms presenting themselves with each flick of the eye-lids.
A masterfully executed drift, one that will reveal itself in new, beautiful forms with each listen -
...We can testify to that!
