Clock DVA
One of the first groups to arise during the formation of the Sheffield Electronic Scene, Clock DVA was formed in 1978 by visionary Adi Newton after his departure from The Furture. Inspired by Anthony Burgess' novel 'A Clockwork Orange,' their name means 'two' in Russian, Clock DVA has proven to be an endlessly influential reference point across everything from post-punk to EBM via industrial and techno. With a lineup that has evolved over time, they have released several albums and have recently released new material and performed at major electronic festivals. They gained recognition with their debut cassette White Souls In Black Suits, released on Throbbing Gristle’s Industrial Records. Fellow Sheffield pioneers and collaborators, Cabaret Voltaire, joined them on ‘Anti-Chance’, bringing together two of the city’s most innovative acts. In 1981, Clock DVA released ‘Thirst’, produced by Ken Thomas. After this album, Newton & Turner decided to take the band in a different direction and parted ways with some members who went on to form The Box. Tragedy struck when co-founder Steven James Turner passed away. Despite these challenges, Clock DVA continued and released albums such as ‘Advantage’ and ‘The Delivery.’ Their work showcased experimentation with ambisonics and psychoacoustics alongside visual elements.
