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.
Akash Ganga is an essential record for those who wish to see a side of dance music that isn't often tread, much less with the style and mastery of craft that Petit Singe pulls off here.
Two years have passed since “Tregua”, Singe’s debut on Haunter Records. A key moment for both the label and the artist, it represented Singe's (Hazina Francia’s) move out of the shadows, and in the process introducing her unconventional taste for hybridisation. Innumerable gigs and experiences later, Francia’s vision and artistic capability have grown richer and broader, leading her to a new path far broader in scope. The 5 tracks that compose “Akash Ganga” testify to an unrelenting spiritual investigation which construct a sonic scenario that brings her mix of post-club sensibilities, and reminiscences of her native India directly into one space. She injects her tabla-led polyrhythms with cinematic sound design, and her talent for building meditative moments into constantly mutating heavier tones lets the moments of melodic reverie sit powerfully alongside those of sheer percussive intensity, and in tandem they form a whole even greater than the sum of their parts.
All these elements fuel the impressionistic narrative Francia has arranged: mixing elements of her personal biography (like naming one of the tracks after the date her foster parents brought her to Italy from Bengala) with fragments from the history of digital experiences and elements of her eastern heritage. This allows her to use music as a means to explore themes of personal and cultural identity, as well as technological evolution and gender.
Rough, tough and dangerous!
