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.

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.
'Madteo continues his dark alchemy, drawing upon unseen forces in the studio, harnessing otherworldly energies for his deranged experimentation. Making music from the fringes, the Italian expat has taken an unconventional route through electronic music. It’s mirrored through a distinctly off-kilter irregularity coursing through his back catalogue and reflected through the eccentricities herein. As if dredged up from half-forgotten memories left dormant in the psyche until now, Unrescuable Dense Music of the Blah Blahs dives headfirst into an idiosyncratic worldview informed by transcendental experiences we’ll never truly understand.
Stretched out over 79 minutes, it bears all the hallmarks of a Madteo creation: tumbling through free jazz and traversing alien landscapes, sludgy grooves, dissonant electronics and lo-fi hypnosis coalesce into his ominous and eccentric soundscape. In between smudged loops and lurching, ungainly rhythms, intermittent squalls resembling sounds from a trans-dimensional plain or fragments of an extraterrestrial signal emanate. Committed to tape, the recordings are near indecipherable when listened back, dissipating into the ether as atonal synthesis takes centre stage.
Juxtaposed by a palette with roots in North American traditions of hip hop, house and techno, the love-hate relationship Madteo shares with his adopted homeland beams through subversive messaging. Glitching IDM rendered from binary and engrossing sound design awash with static and white noise open portals to Madteo’s warped, misshapen world, but the exploration of African American themes probes deeper, challenging perceptions surrounding race, identity and social justice.'
