🍊Wondering, what is Clockwork Orange?
If you know, you know, if you don’t find out below 🙏 The biggest acts in the world 🌍 are again at Party in the Paddock
JANUARY 23RD, 1993
THE STORY
From a gathering of friends in a Holborn nightclub to selling out Fabric, Printworks, and breaking records at Es Paradis. Three decades of Clockwork Orange.
1993 - THE BEGINNING
A GATHERING OF FRIENDS
The Old Paddocks, High Holborn
Clockwork Orange was born on January 23rd, 1993 at The Old Paddocks nightclub in High Holborn, London’s West End. The first party was a gathering of friends — and it quickly escalated into a word-of-mouth phenomenon across London.
WORD SPREADS
Cinnecita, Oxford Street
From Paddocks to Cinnecita on Oxford Street, the Clockwork name was on everyone’s lips. No social media, no websites — just pure word of mouth through London’s clubbing underground.
1994 - IBIZA CALLING
THE FIRST BIRTHDAY ROADBLOCK
Electric Film Studios, Kings Cross The Cross
Clockwork’s 1st birthday was a roadblock — police had to move on the crowds as tickets sold out. This was the moment things got serious. The Cross became one of Clockwork’s two favourite venues, a place that exulted sheer class.
ES PARADIS — THE SPIRITUAL HOME
Es Paradis, Ibiza
Three weeks later, the first Ibiza summer residency began at Es Paradis, courtesy of Brandon Block and Clara da Costa. Ibiza was the perfect springboard — it made Clockwork a nationwide recognised name within the 90s clubbing scene.
LEICESTER SQUARE SHUTDOWN
Maximus, Leicester Square
The first Ibiza reunion back in London. John Digweed played his last Clockwork set. Leicester Square was shut off by the police — doors closed at 10:30pm with 2,000 people still outside.
THE FIRST NEW YEAR'S EVE
Southwark Street Arches
The first of the legendary Clockwork NYE bashes. 23 DJs including Judge Jules, John Kelly, Brandon Block, and Tony Wilson. 2,300 people brought in the New Year with free drinks included in the ticket price, themed on Es Paradis.
1995–97 - THE EXPLOSION RESIDENCIES & TOURS
Camden Palace The Cross Es Paradis
Clockwork’s promoting world exploded — residencies at Camden Palace, The Cross, and Es Paradis Terrenal. Tours of Britain followed with clubs and student unions. International expansion hit Tenerife, Majorca, and Ayia Napa.
IBIZA UNCOVERED
Time Out, Mixmag, The Ministry, The Sun, MTV — Clockwork was everywhere. Then in 1997, the call came to be part of a documentary series: Ibiza Uncovered. This spotlight rocketed Clockwork to the top of the pile — what you saw is what you got. Pure unadulterated amazing fun and atmosphere. The club record for attendance at Es Paradis was broken in September 1997.
1998–99 PEAK ERA BREAKING RECORDS EVERY WEEK
Es Paradis, Ibiza Space, Ibiza
Clockwork broke its own Es Paradis record every week of the 10-week summer season of 1998. The club peaked at 3,500 people — the top-grossing night of all nights in 1998. Clockwork Ibiza never sold an advance ticket — the only club not to have done so in the ’90s. And if you were lucky enough in ’98 and ’99, you went to Clockwork after parties at Space right after Es Paradis.
2012–18 THE RETURN FROM SATSUMAS, BIG THINGS GROW
McQueens Fire & Lightbox
Area Printworks
After a decade away, Andy Manston and Danny Gould reignited Clockwork Orange in 2012. What began as intimate reunions at McQueens quickly snowballed. The Fire & Lightbox day party ranks in the all-time Clockwork top three. Then came Printworks — the cavernous South London warehouse that became synonymous with Clockwork’s second chapter, selling out show after show.
2019 CLOCKSTOCK IS BORN
THE FIRST FESTIVAL
Chelmsford City Racecourse
Clockwork went outdoors. The first Clockstock festival at Chelmsford City Racecourse brought the Orange Army together on a scale never seen before — multiple stages, world-class DJs, and the community spirit that had defined Clockwork since day one. 15,000 people proved this was more than a club night.
2022 59 MINUTES PRINTWORKS SELLS OUT IN UNDER AN HOUR
Printworks
The last Clockwork Printworks party sold out in just 59 minutes. No hype campaigns, no influencer tie-ups — just three decades of trust that when Clockwork throws a party, you don’t miss it.
2023 CLOCKWORK CLASSICAL
A 30-PIECE ORCHESTRA AT SUNSET
Recinto Ferial, Ibiza
For the 30th anniversary, Danny & Andy’s long-held vision became reality. A 30-piece classical orchestra performed reimagined house classics at sunset beside Dalt Vila. Led by conductor Matthew Freeman of the London Symphonic and Royal Philharmonic, with live vocalists and percussion over phat programmed beats — it had never been done before in Ibiza, not on this scale. Clockwork Classical became the crowning moment of the 30th anniversary summer.
2024+ THE MODERN ERA
THE STORY CONTINUES
Fabric Koko Studio 338 Brighton Dubai Thailand
From London’s most iconic venues to international stages, Clockwork continues to grow. The Orange Army now spans the globe — and the story’s still being written.
" I have finally found the missing elixir of life that makes me feel young again and it is quite simply Clockwork Orange”
