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.
A secret drum language only understood by the initiated”.
RHYTHM-GNOSIS FOR THE SPEEDFREAX!!!
New power 12” from Congolese-Belgian producer, her first since ‘08 after a couple of LPs for UIQ and Climate of Fear.
Even if you’ve only heard just one of her kicks, you know the deal; harder than nacre-nails tekno, though bristling with new energy & ideas.
A-side is 11-minutes of hot-white noise bouncing from wall-to-wall, recalling a more straight-up approach to Nic Endo’s late 90s output. The beat marches on with grizzled determination. A subtle drone lingers above as things get increasingly frantic. About 7 mins in, the storm pauses. Howling wind circles and a monomaniacal KICK returns with a fkn menace. Cop this for that eyes-in-the-back-of-yr-head, fists clenched, teeth-grit feeling you ain’t had all year.
B1 couldn’t be more to the point; 190BPM skippin’ dreadbeat, DOOMCORE Y’KNOW THE SCORE. As hi-hats and claps are distorted to the point of cartoon-ish barbarity, an ominous drone sucks your remaining will to live.
B-side concludes in a distinctly more busted & broken fashion, coming through like a jittery dial-up modem ran thru a Metal Zone. A+ sidesteppin’ printer jam-jam. 48% through its workload, an ethereal smog smothers the hardware. Fatal system error, BitCrush overload, pull the plug. Untethered, the track gallops the home-straight for a double-time finale.
Beautiful black metal style sleeve with original artwork by Oraculo.
