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.
From the vaults, original press Disciples & Dub Factory from around 1999 -
We are glad to have got our hands on a box of this underground gem from the vaults of the DOJO imprint in Germany, heavyweight dubwise for all fans of 90's soundsystem music (count us in).
Top, we have two mixes of 'Darkness' by the Disciples, slowly searing, mystical heavy duty instrumentals.
Kicking off with a down-pitched drum break (listen to that lovely sample rate bitcrushing) and bursting right into a filtered synthline, ominous melodica and a bassline that scales the octave in a momentous way, raking it's way to the most resonant notes before getting flung back down by the phased snare workouts and sparse chords.
Our favourite cut on this record is the A2 - Things get even more crushingly dubwise on 'Darkness Mix 2', leaving only the most crucial parts of this track to bite and roar, utterly dubwise as we near the centre of the disc...
Flip it for a more upbeat, more politically charged but equally mystical number -
For 'Free Mumia Abu-Jamal' The Dub Factory grace the grooves alongside the warming vocals of Rita Pereira.
A real signifier of the times that this track was written in, the steppers drive of this rhythm accentuate that feeling of hardship and struggle, with the drum and bass bringing a place of reflection for the mind and recharge for the soul, whilst the following eastern instrumentation taking things to a place much further away.
Added structures await on the B2, with a Junglist refurb on the 'Dil De Doh (Mellow Mix).
Dub treasure!
Served on ultra-heavyweight 12", with a great die-cut sleeve and insert.
