Stowaway Festival 2025 Drops 2nd Wave Of Artists
6 February 2025 - Shelley Dodds
Stowaway Festival has unveiled the second wave of artists for its 2025 edition, set to take place from 15th to 17th August in the stunning ancient woodlands and lakes near Stowe, Buckinghamshire. Now in its fourth year, the festival continues to carve out a unique identity, blending world-class music, immersive experiences, and a deep connection to nature.
Leading the charge, globally acclaimed dance music icons Jungle will deliver a headline DJ set, bringing their signature blend of funk, soul, and electronic grooves to the Stowaway stage. Reggae legends The Wailers, known for their timeless hits and connection to Bob Marley’s legacy, will bring an authentic roots reggae experience. Another pioneer of reggae and punk, Don Letts, will be behind the decks, spinning an eclectic selection that embodies his genre-crossing legacy. Groove Armada’s Tom Findlay makes a welcome return following the duo’s unforgettable 2024 set, promising another journey through house, funk, and electronic classics.
“I had a ball playing twice at the brilliant Stowaway last summer and so happy to be invited back this year to play disco on the Listen Here stage either side of some of my favourite DJs…. see you on the dance floor!” – Tom Findlay (Groove Armada)
The second wave of artists also features jungle trailblazer DJ Storm, a key figure in the Drum & Bass scene, and NTS selector Shy One, known for her genre-fluid approach to DJing. Festival favourite Luke Una will go B2B with the ever-eclectic Prosumer, delivering a set brimming with deep cuts and dancefloor energy. They join an already stacked line-up featuring previously announced headliners Fabio & Grooverider and The Outlook Orchestra, Shy FX, Derrick Carter, Horse Meat Disco, Seun Kuti, Anna Erhard, James Alexander Bright, Cousin Kula, and Webmoms. Our very own Hobbs & Ron Mexico will also be there for their debut at Stowaway and will bring their usual energy, vibes and fun! With this stellar selection, Stowaway continues to raise the bar as one of the UK’s most exciting rising festivals, blending electronic, jazz, reggae, and leftfield sounds into an unmissable weekend.
“The Stowaway lineup is designed to offer something for every musical taste, showcasing a diverse range of sounds across the festival each night. From late-night discos to family-friendly singalongs, each day brings something new, with our stages offering fresh experiences every evening. We want to take you on a musical adventure, whether it’s exploring the woods, relaxing by the jetty, or hunting down our secret late-night ‘covers’ bar…” – Festival founder Duncan Wheeler

Side B returns to Hottrax for three punchy tracks on ‘Feel It’
6 February 2025 - Grahame Farmer
We’re buzzing to premiere ‘Kick and Back,’ a slick and groove-heavy cut from Side B’s upcoming ‘Feel It’ EP, landing on Jamie Jones’ Hottrax imprint on 7th February 2025. Following his breakout collab ‘Vibrate’ with Samuele Scelfo on the label last year, the Italian producer returns solo, delivering a three-track package packed with late-night heat.
‘Kick and Back’ is a deep, driving roller that thrives on wobbling bass tones, vibrating percussion, and a hypnotic, stripped-back groove. A masterclass in simplicity and impact, the track oozes underground charm, built for intimate, after-hours settings and packed-out club rooms alike.

With a growing catalog on labels like Sola, MOXY MUZIK, and Mood Child, Side B has cemented his status as one of Italy’s freshest underground exports, earning support from The Martinez Brothers, Skream, Cloonee, and more. His Hottrax return is another testament to his punchy, floor-filling sound—and ‘Kick and Back’ is proof of his ability to craft high-energy, hypnotic club weapons.

Angry Silhouette: A new chapter for Raze.D
6 February 2025 - Data Transmission Staff
Raze.D, the latest artistic identity of D.Ramirez, presents Angry Silhouette, a bold and introspective album out now on Dreamwave. Across 10 expertly crafted tracks, he moves beyond his club-focused legacy to explore deeply personal songwriting, stepping into a world where his own voice takes centre stage for the first time. 
With over 30 years in electronic music, the Ivor Novello-nominated producer has been a defining force, shaping global dance music with seminal releases and era-defining remixes. Now, as Raze.D, he embarks on his most personal project to date. Angry Silhouette is rooted in his Sheffield upbringing, heavily influenced by 80s pioneers like Human League, ABC, and Cabaret Voltaire. The album was born during the pandemic, a period that allowed him to reconnect with his early years as a singer and explore the more introspective side of his creativity.


[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/1956353531" params="color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="450" iframe="true" /]

RAZE.D · Angry SilhouetteThe album’s sonic landscape blends elements of Depeche Mode’s dark synth energy, Ultravox’s grandeur, and the emotional depth of modern alt-rock. Lyrically, it tackles themes of technology’s growing grip on society, social media’s psychological effects, and self-worth in an increasingly digital world.
As Raze.D explains, “It’s about reflection and confronting the world we live in. It’s my way of offering a new sound that feels authentic to both where I have come from and where I am now. This music is 100% me. The singing, songwriting, production and mixing – every beat and note is mine. Just my vision, my truth. It’s raw, it’s all personal, it’s all me.”
From the driving bass and urgent synths of Overload to the cinematic closer Do You Feel The Same, Angry Silhouette is a rich, immersive body of work. It signals an exciting new era for Raze.D—one where his artistic vision is fully realised.
