We’ve just finished the new issue of Cyclic Defrost magazine. Bim‘s totally redone the design, Build designed the cover, and a cast of great writers contributed stories on Adrian Klumpes, Because of Ghosts, DJ Gemma, Kharkov, Max Richter, Mist & Sea, Mister Speed, Mountains in the Sky, Pedro, Phillip Samartzis, the Red Bull Music Academy in Melbourne, Tim Hecker and a bunch of sleeve reviews. Interviews with !!! and Curse Ov Dialect, as well as comprehensive record reviews can be found online.

Full colour printing and a proper 250gsm varnished cover will change the feel of the mag – still free though. Keep an eye out in your favourite record shop over the next month. Or take a sneak peek by clicking on the picture.
