''Mujekesi Soyandoze'' was recorded from February 2001 to August 2001. During this time, Peiderezek continued to absorb music, which caused rifts between him and Dsim during it's recording. He described the recording process as "awful" and "extremely traumatic"; he recalls one incident where he and Dsim got into a heated argument. "We fought over the genre of what the record would become – we hadn't even decided on a name for it. We were all stressed and I had constantly changed what I wanted it to be. He had spent a lot of money for each of my ideas, and I guess we were both frustrated. I melted down, and I took most of the demos we had recorded and tossed them out of the eighth story window. It took a lot of time to regain his trust", Peiderezek described regarding the recording process in a 2018 interview. Peiderezek eventually decided that the album would be an electronic album – for the album, Peiderezek took influence from the thriving A'Block rave and trance scene, as well as influence from traditional Baphian and Kzmrš traditional music. Peiderezek also stated he took influence from 'Gbhr Hnvki, particularly his debut single [TBD].

The overnight success garnered by ''Mujekesi Soyandoze'' astonished Peiderezek, Dsim, and Dusansoyan Records. Despite it's success, Peiderezek complained of the album's quality and the royalty payment he received from the album: only 1%, one of the lowest out of any Baphian musician at the time, but one of the highest for Bapho-Azkalis at the time. For the album, Peiderezek received approximately 668,044 dollars in compensation, enough for him and the [yamahati] family to move into the Zegwe House in Axhanan, Turku.
