Edgewater Discography - 4 Albums That Rocked the 2000s



As should always be the case with new albums, a key facet of the inaugural listening experience is the chance to marvel at the creators behind each song. In that spirit, see the full list of production credits for Her Loss below.




{Edgewater Discography - 4 albums}




Welcome to the online home of record producer Derek Hames. Derek is a member of The Recording Academy and a voting member for The Grammy Awards. He has charted singles and albums for artists on both the Texas Regional Radio Report and College Music Journal charts. The records Derek has produced have helped his clients achieve meaningful deals throughout the music industry in the form of major-label distribution (Sony/RED, Smith Music Entertainment), booking (APA Agency, Atomic Music Group), media and publicity (All Eyes Media, RPR Media, Lance Cowan Media), and radio promotion (Vision Entertainment, M:M Music).


Well, I don't know if Frank tells you the story of Playground Psychotics the way I will tell you the story, but it's no secret that Frank used to carry his Uher tape recorder with us on tour constantly, and Playground Psychotics' basic foundation started during a weekend when we travelled to Spokane, Washington, Seattle, Washington, to the Edgewater Hotel, which was the foundation for the "Mudshark" and the whole story on the white Live at the Fillmore East [Fillmore East, June 1971] album, and we also played Portland, Oregon, and Eugene, Oregon, it was a trip to the northwest of the United States. And Frank edited together that weekend into an album that he gave to Warner Brothers Records, and it was called the Official Mothers of Invention Bootleg Album, and [...] that was given to Warner Brothers right after we did the album "Billy the Mountain", Just Another Band From L.A., and Frank gave it to Warner Brothers as our album, as his new album. 'Cause he was trying desperately to leave Warner Brothers, he had two albums that he owed them. And what he was trying to do was to put together two records quickly, back to back, and one of them was this live touring record, which was kind of an offshoot of what had really transpired during the movie 200 MOTELS, which was really life on the road with a band, purely documentary.


The record bins were located just outside the YA office. Teens would choose the empty album cover from the bin and present it to staff who would exchange for it for the actual record for check out. By the early 1980s, the record collection in the YA department was about 700 albums.


East West Records on South Orange Avenue was a favorite record store in the 1970s and still today! The Young Adult department staff visited the store to purchase albums for the Young Adult department.


After two critically acclaimed platinum-selling albums with his group, Q-Tip began focusing on outside production. In 1994, he produced the single "One Love" from Nas's debut album Illmatic and performed the song's chorus. He also remixed the Nas single "The World Is Yours", as well as Craig Mack's single "Get Down", in which he contributed a guest verse. He made an additional guest appearance on the song "Get It Together" by Beastie Boys, from their album Ill Communication.


In 2019, Q-Tip revealed that he was working on three solo albums, as well as projects by Mary J. Blige and Danny Brown. He served as executive producer of Brown's album U Know What I'm Sayin?, released in October 2019.


Pharrell Williams has stated that Q-Tip "picks the best loops ... he'd pick like the illest chord, bassline and all that." Williams asserted that "we're all [Q-Tip's] sons", referring to himself, J Dilla and Kanye West, further stating that "we wouldn't be here man, if it wasn't for Tribe albums." 9th Wonder credits him for starting the trend of jazz sampling in hip hop: 2ff7e9595c
