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.
London institution HJ nab three xxtra, xxtra juicy cuts from NYC don Madteo, with Str8 Crooked.
On some proper left-leg-lean / heads down type style, raw but not really in a stripped back way, more in terms of inspired musical imminency and honesty, with this record Madteo lays down the unspoken rules for perfectly chuggin', swung, highly loose percussive jams that defy easy categorisation whilst swerving the worlds of house, disco, hip hop and a kind of brukkup dubwise approach.
From the stompin' darbuka swag and its turbulent, frequency modulated vocal sample work on the A side, we're already in for some real heavy treats with the first two cuts on this disc. The kind of stuff you could imagine a headsy dancefloor getting real sweaty too, but equally fitting for a late night zone out on the home hi fi.
Then, on the sprawling B side, we land in a stretched out, constantly moving jam through Madteo's very own world of wheezy melody and loose, uplifting groove.
This one shifts through its infectious moods over the course of a good 10-20mins or so Well, we didn't check the time (too busy enjoying!), but it felt like a real trip, more like a stream of consciousness that drifts off into new worlds, rather than coming back round to where it began - perfectly dope, with an uplifting high and a bit of couch-lock for extra measure.
This is a fvckin excellent disc, please understand that.
Served in wicked-as-always artwork from Will Bankhead, and pressed up good & proper on a nice 12", as intended.
