Hello Everyone,
Just thought I would email to let you all know about a new independent
bi-monthly magazine music mag that launches today in Australia.
Funded by a grant from the Australia Council's Audience & Market
Development division, Cyclic Defrost profiles independent electronic
producers, labels as well as sleeve designers and graphic designers
working with sound focussing largely on Australia. You NEED a copy of
this, and after you've read it - all 30,000 odd words of it, go to the
website and listen to audio by the artists!.
Cyclic Defrost is a bi-monthly independent publication printed in Sydney
and distributed nationwide across Australia. It is available for free
from good independent record stores and other places of note in the
major capital cities. Some copies make their way to Tokyo, Osaka, San
Francisco, London, and Auckland.
If you can't get a free copy of it in your area you can get to
www.cyclicdefrost.com and check out the online version of the mag!
Issue 1 contains -
- interviews with Quark Kent, Betaville Orchestra, Monotonik, Surgery
Records, Couchblip, Aural Industries, Lucas Abela & Dual Plover,
Ponyloaf, Pivot, Tom Phillipson & Dumphuck Records
- articles on Bloody Fist Records, Akufen & the Montreal glitch-techno
community, broken beat in London/Tokyo/Berlin, a sleeve design primer,
8-bit electro, and a profile on 6 years of Frigid
- plus new music reviews, sleeve design reviews, artist demo reviews,
80s pop culture flashbacks and the judgement jukebox
- 36 pages with colour cover done by guest designer Tom Phillipson.
- plus a extended remix web-version (www.cyclicdefrost.com) programmed
and designed by Qbique with downloadable tracks by some of the featured
acts/labels, additional reviews, stories and extra bonus length articles.
Note that Cyclic Defrost is looking for writers and contributors for
future issues. Advertising is also cheap (especially since the australia
dollar is so low) so its the perfect way to get your label's music known
about nationally in australia!
Hope you all enjoy, alot of effort and love has gone into the first
issue by people who love music.
Thanks,
Melinda
