Cyclic Defrost: Best of 2025
I know what you’re thinking, am I human? Did AI write this? Or at the very least did it help? And the answer is who cares? It’s humans who are plunging us into unjust bullshit wars, pretending genocides aren’t occurring on our watch, telling us that reality can no longer be trusted. So at this point maybe its time to have a crack at robot overlords.

GAS – Human Club (BCN) 1st of February 2024
Earlier this month we treated ourselves to a well-crafted celebration in Barcelona with no other than GAS. Wolfgang Voigt needs no introduction here at Cyclic Defrost, he’s known for his artistic output and beyond, and for his metaphorical forest incursions. In past years he’s been crafting new material as GAS, with a single in 2020 and ‘Der Lange Marsch’, a grandiose album that revisits different stages of his oeuvre through a renovated lens in 2021 - which is also the year he presented a retrospective exhibition, ‘Werkschau’ in Cologne, and returned to his alias Rückverzauberung (which translates to reverse enchantment), an ominous glade in the woods of our favourite project by him.
