English term or phrase: pedigreed

On CD, Mark has recorded both of his dominant musical personalities. His first mix, ‘Mushroom Jazz’ on Om Records, is defined by a hip-hop sub-groove with jazzy, dubby elements in the downtempo range. It was followed by ‘Seasons’, a critically acclaimed House mix. An Imperial Dub mixed CD, a guest slot in the pedigreed ‘United DJs of America’ series, ‘Mushroom Jazz 2’ (Om Records), ‘San Francisco Sessions, Vol. I’ (Om Records) and Mushroom Jazz 3 (Om Records), ‘Connect’ (Om Records), ‘Mushroom Jazz 4’, and his critically acclaimed debut artist album “Air Farina’ (Om Records). Recently, Mark Farina has released a double LIVE mixed cd “Live at Om” w/ Derrick Carter (Om Records), and the long awaited ‘Mushroom Jazz 5’!

This article is about a famous DJ and his releases, this term is related with a very irrelevant area but i need a Turkish explanation, i have already asked it to Turkish translators but i need some similiar words/explanations in order to get the heart of the meaning. But please be aware that this word referes to an album and it qualifies it...So what are yours suggestions?

Thanks in advance...
