Born in the 70’s at the peak of Motown Records, Leonard Strickland Aka Big Strick was heavily influenced by the temptations, Marvin Gaye, 4 Tops and a host of other extraordinary acts that blessed detroit with great soulful music. As a youth, Big Strick started taking it to another unique detroit sound, P-FUNK (PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC), whose style of funky guitar, bass, keyboard, funky synthesiser and drum players led to a style that would change the face of music forever.
As an early teen Big Strick was introduced to house music. At that time The Wizard (Jeff Mills) was the DJ on 92.3 WDRQ. Big Strick recalls “sitting listening in amazement to the radio and would not move until his set was over, saying ‘damn, this guy’s fast’. Spending hours at a time taping him on cassette and walking the 12 blocks till early hours of the morning.
After releasing 2 underground anthems on FXHE in 2009, Big Strick started his own label 7Days ENT in 2011 featuring artists such as Omar S, Generation Next and the return of the legend Reckless Ron Cook, a rare appearance from the former Submerge & Metroplex artist and a true pioneer of the techno movement in the early 90’s. As Generation Next sets the tone for an outer-Galactic experience with Sequence 11 the stage is set for pure deepness only products of Detroit can bring! Alongside Omar S on Family Affair, Big Strick & son Generation Next has orchestrated a masterpiece sure to please the dance floors worldwide.
