Welsh producer R.Seiliog aka Robin Edwards returns with his new LP, Megadoze, a subtle shift from the sonic palette of critically acclaimed In Hz and 2016’s Shedhead EP. R.Seiliog creates a gentle stir from darkness, coaxing ambisonic visions of the void with synth-driven tides. Megadoze refined prologue surges through visceral tapestries of static and haze merging ambient techno, musique concrète and field recordings.

Astounding lead track 'Opal Drift' with its enveloping structures builds through ambient textures and a bricolage of half-remembered techno and synth waves, it’s like the evocative sound of flowing water softly sculpting the rocks of the Black mountains. Sonically daring and sewn with intricate genre-blurring levels of detail, each cut remains connected to the heart of nature in its elemental force, Megadoze is perhaps R.Seiliog’s finest record yet.

R.Seiliog emerged from the pine-coned hills of Peniel, North Wales. Releasing the warm analog psychedelia of 2012's Shuffles EP, and his debut long player, 2013's Doppler, which was a wide-eyed homage to Krautrock. Manic Street Preachers were so inspired by his debut album that the band entrusted Edwards to remix Manic Street Preachers’ single ‘Futurology'.
