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.
Previously released on cassette on Ralph Cumbers' 'Magic + Dreams' imprint, it is with pleasure that we can present these cuts to you in vinyl format, made available by Helm via the 'Alter' label.
Utilizing his signature modular synthesis and hardware approach, Bass Clef lays down a highly indulging journey through shreds of rave music and dubbed out off-cuts from the house and techno spectrum.
Sonically a joy to listen to, Bass Clef's aesthetics are well defined and perfectly placed.
With track titles such as 'Strings Of Death' and 'Lower State Of Unconcioussness' his references to rave music are clear, and this is surely what lies at the heart of these tracks, buried within the dub, sunken within the rhythm, the music still sounds reminiscent of the past whilst maintaining an original, fresh stance.
Whilst the tracks often move in a decidedly sparse manner, each track follows a path and makes its journey through it's paces, often unveiling unexpected turns and even tempo changes.
Even at at it's most fractured, there is always a feeling of impending implosion from within it's boundaries... Bursting with shackled rhythm and internally pumping with forward movement, it's an understated high-energy affair.
An accomplished set of tracks that should be enjoyed in full, from start to finish.
Sure to sound hard on a big soundsystem, the two discs carry themselves loud and clearly, yet they flow effortlessly from track to track and are filled with intricacy and detail, making it a joy to listen to on the home turntable as well as in a club setting.
Great stuff from one of our favourite producers, don't sleep!
