There's clearly "no beef" between EDM DJ's Afrojack and Steve Aoki! The "Afroki" duo has reunited (following the success of their 2011 "No Beef" club anthem) and recently announced their plans to release a new collaborative track entitled "AFROKI."

Afrojack & Aoki broke the exciting news earlier this week when both DJ's tweeted the link to their live "AFROKI" performance from Kingsday Festival, which took place in Amsterdam on April 30th (Watch TEASER video below).

"Me and @steveaoki present to you a sneak peek of AFROKI!!!" the Dutch sensation posted on May 6th with the attached clip:

From the looks of the Kingsday Festival lineup, only Aoki was scheduled to create "Turbulence" at the Amsterdam fest. He and Afrojack decided to shake things up when the "As Your Friend" spinner made a special surprise appearance and shocked fans when he joined the "Ladi Dadi" producer on the main stage to debut the "AFROKI" track.

"AFROKI" will be released by Dim Mak, Aoki's record label, and the exact release date has not yet been revealed.

On May 7th, Aoki followed up his previous collaboration announcement with:

"Me and @djafrojack hanging upside down cuz we just so excited about our brand new song #afroki. Check..." (attached with the photo featured above).

The Grammy-nominated producer also recently revealed another upcoming collaboration, "Boneless," featuring "his homies"/DJ's/producers Chris Lake and Tujamo. Aoki's latest single will be released in June, according to his Twitter page, and it will be featured on his forthcoming album, Neon Future.

Billboard first revealed Aoki's Neon Future album plans, along with the DJ's Las Vegas residency at Hakkasan in an article written on March 4th:

Starting this April, the Grammy-nominated producer and DJ will play six nightclub events at Hakkasan, as well as headline daytime parties at Wet Republic, the well-established pool club. Dubbed "Neon Future" after Aoki's forthcoming album (revealed here for the first time), the nighttime events at Hakkasan will take visual cues from its name, while also providing customers with new music from Aoki himself.

Aoki's first artist album, last year's "Wonderland," earned Aoki his first Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronica Album. He describes the musical concept for follow-up "Neon" as "bright and positive. The songs are more colorful. They're more emotional. The music, for me, has evolved and changed. That's a big part of why I want to name it 'Neon Future.' That's why I want my party in Las Vegas. I wanted to really put a flag in the ground [that says] 'This is the sound that you'll experience at a party like this. When you walk in, the idea is you walk into a neon future. You walk into that world.'"

Stay tuned for more "AFROKI," "Boneless," and Neon Future updates.
