Just listened to "We Should 3rd" by Dajai.io and it's everything I didn't know I needed. The mood is dark yet captivating, the perfect soundtrack for a late-night drive or a solitary walk through a rainy city. The electronic beats are a constant heartbeat in my ears, while the haunting vocals add an extra layer of emotion that makes me feel like I'm right there with them. This track is a mood board all on its own and I can't wait to see where it takes me next.
🎛️ Solana Conejo's engineer notes
As an engineer, I'm really feeling the delivery and flow on this track from DAJAI. The cadence is spot on, and his voice sits perfectly in the mix. The production elements that stand out to me are the doubles throughout, which add a nice layer of depth to the vocal, and the ad-libs sprinkled in that give it an extra kick.
From a technical standpoint, DAJAI's approach works really well for this particular track. The gear used was primarily focused on capturing a natural and raw vocal performance. I used a high-quality condenser microphone paired with a preamp to get the best signal possible. The setup was simple yet effective, allowing DAJAI's unique style to shine through.
The environment played a huge role in this recording as well. We set up in a small, quiet room that had just the right amount of natural reverb to add some warmth and character to the vocal without overpowering it. Overall, I'm really happy with how this track turned out, and I think it's going to be a real standout for DAJAI.

I walked into the room where the BTS cast was gathered for a video shoot of the DAJAI track "We Should 3rd". The energy in the room was electric and the atmosphere was full of anticipation. The cast members were scattered around the set, some standing, others sitting, all seemingly engrossed in their roles.
As I observed the scene, one specific moment caught my attention. The lead actor was in the middle of delivering his lines, his expression intense and focused. The camera was rolling, capturing every nuance of the performance. It was a powerful scene that showcased the actor's skill and the director's vision for the project.
The rest of the cast watched on intently, waiting for their cues to join in with the action. The room was filled with excitement and anticipation as everyone waited to see how the shoot would turn out. It was clear that this was a special moment for the cast and crew, and I felt privileged to be able to document it all.
