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.
Young Echo's $VM & VMO$ aka O$VMV$M are bvck with a new piece,following up Rider Shafique's 'When Will We Learn' 7" with this hella vibey six track EP of wicked O$VMV$M instrumentals presed up on a 12" via their own imprint.
Still perfectly obscure and deranged, but leaning into tracky-er, drum rhythm-driven pieces too, Beach Road is laced with haunted rhythms, lazer-zap sludgehall and cool & easy bangers galore. It's O$VMV$M in fine style. Another essential piece in the collection, if you ask us.
Six tracks, all killer, no filler - a versatile selection that shows off O$VMV$M's unique take on a very broad, but still somehow aesthetically mutual range of samples and sounds - from chopped & screwed drums to anxious fx to tongue-in-cheek vocal chops - into a masterful sludge of addictively skewed rhythms, weird fx & melody hooks.
Hard to pick a favourite on this one - the first track stands out already though, with its tough(er) drum step and a bit of a nod to post-punk or synth pop maybe, with a bit of grime in there of course. Gives us good memories of that Creta Kano O$VMV$M Remix that came out on Happy Skull some years ago too - another big banger.
Speaking of bangers tho - the 2nd track is 100% a gert banger our kid. Gunfingers raised.

Next up, O$ go Abbey (Road?!?) with a dread-induced (that Megabus drive to London can be tough) creeper... If you're feeling this one, make sure you dig back and check out the Weekend Saviour record they put out on NoCorner a few moons ago too!
The title track, Beach Road, is proper, 'niiiice, ah'. The return of the creeky gate sound and some melancholy chimes for extra measure, what's not to like?
Two shorter cuts finish of the disc, with 'Digital' letting a dancehall style rhythm roll around its axis, complete with cat miaows, life support bleeps and wheelup sounds - again, what's not to like?
Last but not least 'Follow' leads the way with a phased slo mo crud beat and reverbed bass, the last tune at that dance at Luigi's Mansion down Beach Road perhaps.
...There's our take of this great record.
It's best if you hear for yourself though - hit that button if you know what's up. You won't regret it, promise.
Comes with DL.
