Producer Sha Money XL was recently at Engine Room having Stat Quo’s first record, Statlanta, mastered. This is the first release on Sha’s new label, Big Dreams Ventures, in partnership with The Orchard, and the third project he’s mastered at Engine Room — after Hi Tek’s Hi-Teknology 3 and 50 Cent’s most recent album, Before I Self Destruct.

Lloyd Banks’ charting single “Beamer, Benz or Bentley,” was mastered at Engine Room by Christensen, assisted by Daniel Fry, as was Trey Songz’ album Ready, with its hit single “Say Ash” and “Neighbors Know My Name.”

And, theatrical licensing company Miracle or 2 Productions recently brought the cast album for its new production, The Bikinis – A New Musical — a 60s girl-group musical featuring hits like “It’s In His Kiss” And “Under the Boardwalk” — to Engine Room to be mixed and mastered.
