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.
Top, top combo styles on Hank Jackson's 'Anno' imprint, between veteran darkside junglist Christoph De Babalon, and the wicked & wild Wilted Woman!
Seeing this record on the distro sheet was a real nice surprise.
We're fans of both artists, and heard rumours about them getting in the studio together - It's an exciting combo, and we had no idea what the outcome might sound like, but now that we're hearing it... it makes sense.
CDB's fractured drums & cloudy atmospherics find solace amongst WW's twisted melodies and tripped out fx, and together they seek out deep, dubwise bruk rhythms and darkside rollers that somehow still ooze a certain human warmth and light, despite their stealthy, sub-loaded attitude.
Melodies & arrangements feel refreshingly organic & un-quantised - perhaps due to the collaborative nature which often exposes a less over-deliberated, more 'human' approach in musicians due to a more face-to-face, often more fast-paced creative approach which can leave aside some of the anxieties solo musicians face when deciding on the progress of their music.
That's not to say that the solo work of the two lacks these qualities at all (make sure you check them out in full if you haven't yet - they're both very real and very unique) - but this record does sound like a collaborative record made by two (talented) human beings, most probably in the same room, vibe'ing over their unhinged, delightfully twisted soundsystem music explorations, and we like that.
Title track 'Shuttlecock Fanfare' with it's almost Memphis Rap / West Coast style b-line presents a hefty opening track that is worth the admission price alone, and should demand the attention of all dancers who like to sway with swagger and those DJ's who like to provide. 'Trauerweide' with it's swirling synths and circulating drum work sounds like that 'e' just kicked in (and reminds us of early Peverelist in the best way).
'Sad And Done' is the 4am cut, scrambling for your brains on the dancefloor, still rushing - give your friends a quick hug before we depart into deepest of off-kilter dub worlds, with the tear-jerking tremolo on those chords 'Mirage March', the final (and perhaps finest?) lays bare. Fans of Sunun, John T. Gast, Golden Teacher, Boreal Massif should take special note of this one.
Top record for club play, but also a real pleasure on the home turntable -
you'll be back for rewinds on this one, no doubt!
