Broshuda - You'll Always Stay Beautiful
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.

Read an informative combination of the Tape-Echo article and NC press text here, for a further invite into the world of Broshuda -
Initially created as a soundpiece for a group exhibition, this meditation on, according to Broshuda himself 'Self help / depression, universal painful truths and memory via twitter bot content' - peruses quotes snatched from text-to-speech conversion taken from a selection of twitter bots that offer automated emotional services to those in need of some reassurance and motivation in times of depression or doubt. To many, a perplexing scenario in itself... But no doubt one that we are becoming more and more accustomed to in the age of hyper-connectivity, and frequent reliance on technology.
It is said that google, the one who provides answers to everything, is our new god, so why can't a twitter bot be our new emotional nurse?
Broshuda's 'You'll Always Stay Beautiful' certainly raises thoughts and questions about the way our society is headed, but as the NoCorner press release aptly puts it - 'rather than an obvious criticism, ‘You’ll Always Stay Beautiful’ lets the listener indulge in which ever way they feel. Placing the all familiar, and ultimately still very human commentary in a light-headed tangle of computerised harmony, melody and abstract rhythm…'
‘Spend Time With Your Parents, Treat Them Well… Because One Day, When You Look Up From Your Phone – They Won’t Be There Anymore’.
You’ll Always Stay Beautiful points out the absurdities of such automated emotional help facilities in our social age, but also remembers the beautiful fragilities that make up the human mind, which is always in search of strength and reassurance, and ultimately – love.
Aside from the guiding voice, what makes this 33min excursion so intriguing is Broshuda's deft use of abstract sound-forgery and manipulation... No matter how eschewed, there's often an underlying sweetness in tone & style, a very colourful, unique approach to sound and melody, amalgamating in something which is as close to oblique sound-art, as it is to his self-coined 'glambient' or 'mindgaze' styles... In other words, a style totally his own.
Some of you may have nabbed one of the few promotional tapes that surfaced on RwdFwd last year, but for those who didn't... you're in the right place.
