After two decades spent quietly sculpting the sound of the global music scene from the shadows, Enaque & Nujord are finally stepping into the light—and doing so with undeniable style. Hailing from Romania but globally rooted, this powerhouse producer/DJ duo has spent 20 years as sonic architects behind the curtain, ghost-producing hits for major international names across pop, dance, and electronic landscapes. Now, with a fresh vision and more than 3,000 unreleased tracks in their vault, they’ve traded anonymity for artistry—delivering a sound that is as expansive as it is electrifying.
Their track, “Shayo Dey,” is a high-voltage burst of Afrobeat energy infused with the rhythmic sophistication of Amapiano. From the first beat, you know you’re in for a ride. Warm, punchy log drums set the groove—deep enough to ground the dancefloor, but with a bounce that feels like summer in full swing. The beat is layered with sparkling synth melodies that feel euphoric yet never chaotic, expertly balancing clarity with complexity.
What truly sets “Shayo Dey” apart, however, is its vocal delivery. The vocals glide effortlessly between English and Nigerian Pidgin, offering infectious hooks and playful swagger that nod to celebration and freedom. The phrase “shayo dey”—loosely translating to “there’s drink” or “let’s party”—is more than just a lyric; it’s a mood, a vibe, a moment. The performance is charismatic without being overdone—cool, confident, and grounded in cultural nuance.
There’s a cinematic flair to the whole thing—unsurprising, given Enaque & Nujord’s genre-blending expertise. Drawing from Afro House, Indie Dance, Afro Beats, and Cinematic Electronica, their sound doesn’t just aim for the charts—it aims for the soul and the body. “Shayo Dey” is both deeply emotional and designed for movement, radiating warmth, joy, and magnetic rhythm that makes you forget your phone and dance.
For a duo just now stepping into their spotlight, Enaque & Nujord carry themselves like seasoned stars. Their production is pristine, their direction is bold, and if “Shayo Dey” is any indication, they’re not just releasing music—they’re curating a whole new sonic era.
