Cyclic Defrost is Australia’s only specialist electronic music magazine.
We cover independent electronic music, avant-rock, experimental sound art and leftfield hip hop. We have no interest in fashion spreads, alcohol or clothing advertising, nor do we accept advertising in the guise of ‘editorial’.
We are purposefully different. Each issue features a mix of local and international feature articles and stacks of reviews covering CDs, DVDs, vinyl as well as record sleeve designs and artwork.
We are published three times a year and are available free in selected record stores and other outlets across Australia distributed by Inertia Distribution.
