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.
Next up on Berlin's underground, experimental event series & label Stray Signals, Emanuele Porcinai resurfaces as WSR with an utterly unique LP titled 'Dicasmia'. A quiet masterpiece, served on 100 copies of wax.
Stepping out of the deep blue, pensive moods of the sister-brother Aperture project (check the previous Stray Signals release, ICYMI) this latest record from WSR clangs and clatters, at times in tense restraint, then pure urge and momentum, but always with a deeply intimate gaze, fixed to the ground even when breaking into full-heighted symphony.
Dicasmia sprawls and crawls it's way across 7 tracks that play out like a theatre of the mind, directed by your inner gaze, with cerebral receptors tickled by the tremolo of frequency as it shifts from rusted-metal-buried-in-soil type sounds, to lythe / weightless sonics.
Through unorthodox use of instrumentation, amplified and effected electronically, we are led on a totally beguiling path into something devastatingly raw and bruised. Refreshingly rogue, and alive.
Prepare to have your skin peeled from your ears through to your whole body, until you imagine seeing your heart beat in real time, blood pumping vessels pulsating with the frequency of the brittle, yet complex and spectrum-filling resonances of guitar, bass, cello, and room-sound drum conjunctions, explaining worlds at once familar and personal, yet strange, unheard, almost alien.
We very much recommend playing this record loud, for the full impact of resonance and vibration. It's a stunner.
And if you didn't already, now is a good time to (re)visit the Aperture LP too, as a kind of sister-piece to this (pun intended, but we're not joking).
100 copies.
