Cyclic Defrost is Australia's only specialist electronic music magazine. Founded in 2002 as an offshoot of the weekly Sydney club night Frigid by editor Sebastian Chan and co-editor/designer Dale Harrison, the magazine covers independent electronic music, avant-rock, experimental sound art and leftfield hip hop. Dale Harrison resigned and was replaced by co-editor Matthew 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. 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.
