When DJ and producer Stu Allan turned up at Media Records saying "I've got an idea for a record"
few could have foreseen that the idea would be the start of the career of one of the most successful
pop-dance groups in the 90's - Clock. Why "Clock"? When asked about the name Stu laughs
"Why not? You remember the name don't you?! That's the only reason - it could be anything really!"
That first Clock single Holding On featured Media diva Ann-Marie Smith on vocals, but with
Ann-Marie's extensive commitments elsewhere and the demand for club P.A.s growing as the single took
off, Stu and co-producer Peter Pritchard decided to form a more permananent ensemble to record and
perform future Clock records. Several different performers were tried and even toured as Clock
in those early days, but it wasn't until 1993 that the production team found the two people who
were destined to join the band full-time and take them to the dizzy heights of the UK Top 20 chart
time and time again.

ODC MC and Tinka were the two hot new performers that Stu discovered. ODC MC
was running his own dance troupe and practicing his rapping on the side, and Tinka was a law student
who just happened to attend ODC's classes. The two of them have created a unique persona for the
band and their live gigs are legendary, with recent PAs on the P J and Duncan (where they stole
the show) and Smash Hits tours consolidating their live reputation and earning them the
nomination for Disco Club International's
Best P.A. of the Year award.
In 1995 alone they played over 250 gigs in the UK! Since the limited club release of Holding On,
which went to no.1 in the Dance Sales chart, every one of Clock's singles has gone
Top 40 in the UK National Sales chart (compiled by CIN) and 1995 has definitely been their year with
three top 10 singles and a Top 30 debut album to their credit. In the end of 1996 they released a single
called "It's Over".
In 1997 Clock first released a single called "Don't Go Away" and in november they released a single
called "U Sexy Thing".
An album called "It's Over" was also released.
In February 1998 Clock released a single called "That’s the Way (I Like It)" and it's a cover of an old song.
In March 1999, the album entitled "Boogie Stand" was released, but only in Japan.
In July the single "Rock Your Body" was released and in the UK the single "Sunshine Day" was released on the 19 July.
The next single to be released was a single called Blame It On The Boogie.
In February 2000 a greatest hits cd was released.
