John Bence - Kill (Repress)
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.
It’s quite hard to write these words whilst his music is playing, in all honesty.
KILL is an utterly consuming listening experience.
It is vitalising, and in equal parts draining – we are talking flow of emotion here, the kind which all the best music provokes.
John Bence’s three part movement deals with dynamics in the way an Opera would, and reaches the same kind of heights, emotions, frenzy and disturbances… Reaching for the dankest percussive frequency shifts, subconscious vocal drones, pure, angelic tones and downright, concrete-slab in the face furore… In short, it’s a masterpiece that could stand up amongst timeless classical pieces, as well as facing forward and standing right in the face of contemporary electronic music… The sharpness in detail and the deft application of frequency reacts with our bodies in a way that is written into our current DNA… If the vibrations are headed your way, there is no helping it. You are the victim, so just let the sound envelope you, and appreciate the fact that you are subject to the musical genius of John Bence, a young Bristolian musician that gives everything, and is already ahead of the curve on his own path.
We’ve seen close friends struck down to tears when John performed this piece at a Young Echo night last year, and we can safely say that the effect of the record, if listened with attention, captures all this intensity, sorrow, love and anger in an equally powerful way.
The first vinyl on Yves Tumor’s Grooming Label, and it couldn’t be a better fit.
