Dutch DJs and producers DEMS and De La Noise have released “Without Borders”, their first official collaboration, through Afroholic Records and Amajoyo Records on 16 October 2026.
The track sits between Afro House and Afro Tech, built around rolling percussion, a heavy bassline and brooding synths. Its arrangement gradually builds from filtered percussion into a denser rhythmic section, with moments of silence and industrial-sounding electronic elements adding contrast and tension.
“Without Borders” brings together the production styles of two artists with different paths through the electronic music scene. DEMS is known for blending melodic elements with driving Afro House and Afro Tech rhythms, with releases including “Exchange”, “Mandalorian” and “Money Check”.
De La Noise, a Dutch DJ with more than two decades of experience, draws on Afro House, Afro Tech and uplifting house music. He is also the founder of Amajoyo, an Afro House platform and record label that has hosted artists including Nitefreak, Kasango and Kususa.
In a joint statement, the artists explained that they had worked together on several projects before making “Without Borders” their first official release as a duo. They also described the track as a reflection of music’s ability to connect African and European electronic music scenes.
The release preceded Amajoyo presents Afroholic at Amsterdam Dance Event on 23 October, a showcase featuring Nitefreak, De La Noise, Wilson Kentura, Thami The Unknown, Elson Soares, Randoree and Marinus.
“Without Borders” is available on streaming platforms.
