Adi Newton of Clock DVA has helped us celebrate our 3rd birthday with a varied mix exploring influences and old favorites.
The author of the mix is Adi Newton, one of the founders of the legendary Clock DVA group. Newton has been maintaining and spreading band’s ideology throughout the global industrial scene for more than 3 decades now. With its numerous records released by such notable labels as Industrial Records, Contempo Records, Polydor or Vinyl-on-Demand, Clock DVA has gradually become a synonym for the “industrial” sound. With each year of their musical resistance, Clock DVA expanded their sound and went through several musical periods, incorporating such styles as post-punk, EBM, and dark ambient. Clock DVA’s emotionally powerful and forward-thinking compositions are often accompanied by dramatic, sometimes futuristic lyrics, touching on themes of science and technological revival in a suggestive vocal timbre. This band has a rich and inspiring past which is a good read in and of itself. And do not forget to check out Clock DVA’s latest releases, a few of which came out as recently as 2016.
Secret Thirteen Mix 125 is a remarkable mix that guides the listener through an abyssal and vitreous river of timeless music. The mix contains 14 unique compositions taken from vinyl records that were released between 1960 and 1982. This music had a great influence on the author, his early creations, perception of composition, and sound in general. Newton has included a picturesque palette of musical styles ranging from modern classical, jazz, new wave to abstract, early electronic/ambient and other refined formations. The slightly embossed shifts between the works of such pioneering composers as Vladimir Ussachevsky, Terry Riley, Ilhan Mimaroglu and the expressive production of such prominent bands as Holy Toy, White Noise or Kraftwerk are virtually inaudible. The deliberate and patient connection of tracks gradually leads the listener to pure musical satisfaction, where positive, surreal and vague moods form a genuine harmony. Edward Wadsworth’s abstract painting “Composition on a Red Ground” could be a subtle visual interpretation of how beautiful and strange this mix is.
