From as far back as he can remember Marvin Lambert has always had music close to his heart, It was the turn of the new millennium when this musical journey began. Marvin was lucky enough to have the privilege of owning his first set of turntables at the tender age of 12, With strong early inspirations coming from the likes of Carl Cox, Mauro Picotto, Wu-Tang Clan, 2Pac, Dr Dre, Eminem and Shy Fx. Being blessed with a musical upbringing that involved multiple genres it’s that House Music sound that’s always been the most predominant for him. 

All the way through his teens Marv would find himself completing his weekly ritual spending every Friday night listening to the latest BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, It’s these mixes that helped to inspire him to put in countless hours of practice in his bedroom perfecting his DJ’ing skills. Once the art of mixing was mastered he then went on to college to study music technology this is where Marvin began to learn the production side of music. This step was something he always wanted being able to create his own sound and put a spin on the House Music genre that he could call his own. In 2011 he came across a track that took the world by storm “Azarii & III - Hungry For The Power (Jamie Jones Remix)” the shivers ran down his spine the first time he listened it and from that moment there was no looking back he fount the direction he wanted to go in. 

Since then Marvin has gone on to land himself residencies with one of the Midlands elite brands The Move, Who mix it up with the biggest DJ’s and producers in the world today he is also hugely involved in Freakshow a new event that wants to cause its own storm in the House and Techno world. It doesn’t just stop there global superpowers Defected & Do Not Sleep have also played host to the Marvin Lambert sound when they stopped by in his hometown of Stoke-on-Trent. With a bright future ahead Marvin will continue to put the hours in on his music productions while also continuing to rock the dance floor with his slick mixing skills.

Colin Patrick Harper hails from the Bermuda Islands. In the music industry, he is known as the reggae artist Collie Buddz. Buddz was born on August 21, 1984 in New Orleans, Louisiana. After graduating from high school, he attended Full Sail University in Orlando, FL, where he decided to study studio engineering.  Upon graduating from college in 2006, Buddz began looking for work in the recording industry as a performer or producer. One of his first major gigs was working with recording star Shaggy on the single "Mad Mad World" from Shaggy's new album entitled Intoxication, which was release in 2007. That was the same year he released his self-titled debut album with Sony Music. The album was a moderate success, but well-received by critics.  WWE (World Wrestling Enterprises) fans would immediately recognize Buddz's voice from the entrance theme ("SOS") for WWE superstar wrestler Kofi Kingston, which was included on the 2008 compilation WWE The Music, Vol. 8. Over the next year, he would continue making guest appearances on the works of other artists.  It is no small coincidence that his stage name "Buddz" is slang for marijuana. There have been photographs taken of the artist holding bongs and other pot-smoking paraphernalia over the years. Of course, other reggae artist such as Bob Marley have made weed seem an essential part of the reggae lifestyle.  At the end of the decade, Buddz started his own record label called Harper Digital. When not working in the studio, he found himself selling out venue after venue on one of his many exhaustive tours. In 2011, he would finally release his second album entitled Playback. As was the case with the first album, this album was a modest success commercially, but the critics loved his work.  With a couple of albums and a good reputation under his belt, Buddz is a frequent performer at many of the major reggae festivals around the world.
