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.
The one Sunun, on the one Idle Hands with this beauty of record!
Excellent to see our much loved friend and much loved musician Sunun come forward with a new disc for Bristol institution Idle Hands -
And this record, the 'Light EP' sees Sunun flex and stretch out her particular style of otherwordly dubwise, still steeped in that brooding, mysterious energy we've come to love from her, but also packed with some extra gut-punch dancehall & year 3000 steppers energy on titles such as the title track 'Light' and the belly throb bass of 'Air Force' - two track titles that suggest a more heady nature, but still shake the ground with utter force. Try playing these loud and see for yourself. Sunun comes from the school of dub and soundystem music after all! Bristol style!
Fans of Ishan Sound will also approve of the vocal synths and the hi-tek steppers patterns here... A very 'Young Echo' sounding record, if we dare say so!
Ribbon draws deeper once more, letting undulating synthesis fade it's way around bass dynamics and gunshot dynamics in a dizzying, but still somehow rather screw-faced kinda way. A great blend of moods.
Flip the disc (dub style!), and you are treated to the version excursion of the first track 'Light' - letting the origianl elements fizz and stutter through eternal amounts of space, focus on the low end, mixed live & direct on her mixing desk. Magic, this one!
Skin, the following track, is like the alien rainfall after the crash & thunder of 'Light'... Vocal pitch slides and looping harmonies circle around the subdued percussive spring reverberations, to reveal a big depth and warmth within the ice cold atmospherics, sounding like it could be inspired by her work as AMA with Jasmine / Guest and Anina, and perhaps some of the O$VMV$M output too... A kind of cross pollination we'd very much approve of, either way.
As the curtain fades on 'Red Set', it's 'lights out' and only the shimmer of harp frequency, hi-freq bass and the clattering of the cymbal and percussions are left to circle around it's own axis...
The way Sunun manages to subtly juggle the spaces between sounds and create a slow, brooding set of polyrhythmics, is such a strong, unique and utterly engrossing mood.
Masterful stuff.
This one's a trip!
Profits from the EP will be going to Ace, a charity doing 1:1 music sessions with teenagers in the local area where Sunun has been doing work
