Cyclic Defrost is Australia's only specialist electronic music magazine. It is edited by Sebastian Chan and Matthew Levinson, and covers independent electronic music, avant-rock, experimental sound art and leftfield hip hop.
The magazine started as a photocopied zine in 1998[1], as an offshoot of the weekly Sydney club night Frigid, run by Chan and co-editor/designer Dale Harrison. Harrison resigned and was replaced by Levinson and designer Bim Ricketson.
Each issue features local and international feature articles, and until Issue 16, comprehensive reviews covering CDs, DVDs, vinyl (these are now found on the Cyclic Defrost website) as well as record sleeve designs and artwork.
Each issue features a guest cover designer and a section dedicated to sleeve design reviews. Past cover designers include Rinzen, Bim Ricketson and Build.
The magazine is published three times a year and the print run of 5000 is available free in selected record stores and other outlets across Australia distributed by Inertia Distribution.
