Kowton - Utility
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.
New Kowton records are always a treat, since debuting on Idle Hands back in 2010 he has served up countless killer singles on the likes of Hessle, Naked Lunch and his own Pale Fire label. The latter releasing the turning point 'Des Bisous' which set led to the greyscale dub-informed techno/grime reductions that we can't get enough of - since then, a string of records on Livity have paved the way for 'Utility'.
Spread across two discs the album is packed with no less than 9 tracks, each stripped back to the essentials - beats, bass and, melody - perhaps some of the most melodic tracks he has released to date. It's safe to say that there isn't a single bad track on offer here.
Right from the stepping patterns of 'Scido' through to the gatling gun kicks of the standout 'Shots Fired', Utility teases bleep and bass through a decidedly UK filter to create something unique and greater than a sum of it's parts.
Versatile and deadly on the turntables and very rewarding on headphones too, we lost a happy evening to this one on the stereo picking some of these head mangling loops apart and hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
