Clock DVA is an Industrial music/Post-Punk group from Sheffield, England. The group was formed in 1978, with two members, Adi Newton and Steven "Judd" Turner. Along with Heaven 17, Clock DVA's name was inspired by the Russian-influenced Nadsat of Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange; "dva" is the Russian word for "two". Adi had previously worked with members of Cabaret Voltaire in a collective called The Studs and with Ian Craig Marsh and Martyn Ware in a band called The Future. Ian and Martyn went on to found The Human League.

The group was originally known for making a form of experimental electronic music involving treated tape loops and synthesizers. Clock DVA became associated with industrial music with the 1980 release of their album White Souls in Black Suits on Throbbing Gristle's Industrial Records. The album Thirst, released on Fetish Records, followed in 1981 to a favourable critical reaction, knocking Adam and the Ants' Dirk Wears White Sox from the top of the NME Indie Charts, by which time the band had combined musique concrète techniques with standard rock instrumentation. The band split up in 1981, with the non original members of the band going on to form The Box.

In 1983, Newton formed a new version of the band. First releasing the single "High Holy Disco Mass" on the major label Polydor Records under the name DVA, the band then released the album Advantage (with several singles) under the name Clock DVA. After a European tour, however, the band split acrimoniously.

After the 1983 breakup of Clock DVA, Adi Newton formed The Anti-Group or T.A.G.C. They released several albums continuing in a similar vein to the early Clock DVA, yet more experimental.

In 1987, Adi Newton reactivated DVA and invited Dean Dennis and Paul Browse back into the fold to aid Newton's use of computer aided sampling techniques which he had been developing in the Anti Group. The album Buried Dreams, an electronic album which received critical acclaim as a pioneering work. Browse left the group in 1989 and was replaced by R E Baker. The album Man-Amplified was the next album to be released, an exploration of cybernetics. Digital Soundtracks, an instrumental album, was the next release. Following Dennis's departure, Newton and Baker produced the album Sign.

DISCOGS says:
In June of 1977, Newton Ware and Marsh formed a group called The Dead Daughters, their next incarnation was the Studs. The group which consisted of Adi Newton, Martyn Ware, Ian Craig Marsh. For a short period prior to forming Clock DVA, Adi Newton was one of the three members of the Future who later went on to form The Human League and later as Heaven 17. Shortly after their formation Adi Newton left and was replaced by Philip Oakey: the future ended as quickly as it had begun, they changed their name to The Human League and released "Being Boiled". Then, Adi Newton teamed up with his friend Stephen "Judd" James Turner and formed ClockDVA and recruited two additional members David James Hammond for guitar and Simon Mark Elliot Kemp for electronics. In May 1981 Paul Browse joined Clock DVA and remained a constant member until relocating to Berlin in 1989 where he began his Effective Force project for MFS.
