We’re walking the dark and gritty streets of post-punk Sheffield for this month’s Electronic Sound cover feature detailing the formative years of CLOCK DVA. We’re bundling the magazine with a truly fantastic seven-inch from the electro-industrial agitators too. Our story starts with Clock DVA main man Adi Newton in a band called The Future, alongside soon-to-be members of The Human League. Once Newton got DVA rolling, his new group forged close associations with Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle, quickly matching TG’s reputation for fearsome live sets. By the time they’d played three gigs, they’d been banned from three venues. The focus of our piece is on the first two DVA albums – released in late 1980 and early 1981– with fights, drugs, porn, constructivism, cricket, a missing person and a tragic death all part of the saga. It really is a rollercoaster read.
