Adi Newton
Adi Newton stands as one of the cult figures of the original experimental electronic-industrial scene that emerged in late-1970s England.
In 1978, he founded Clock DVA in Sheffield. During the 1980s, Newton developed two distinct projects—Clock DVA and The Anti Group—which, alongside Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, and Test Department, defined the polymedia approach for the Industrial music scene.
By the 1990s, Newton sharpened the electronic, experimental, and cyberpunk dimensions of his work. In the 2010s, he revived Clock DVA with renewed vigour, expanding globally through his creative labs, Armcomm and Anterior Research.
Paolo Bertoni
Paolo Bertoni is an Italian writer and music critic who began covering post-punk, electronic and experimental music in the 1980s for various magazines.
A longtime contributor to Blow Up – Italy’s monthly dedicated to “adventurous sounds” – he has been part of the editorial team since its first issue (1997).
His published works include books on Einstürzende Neubauten, Swans, Coil, Clock DVA/TAGC, and Joy Division.
