Love Cubed, the latest release from DC-based electronic trio Volta Bureau, dropped today via Nurvous Records. The uplifting, anthemic original version of the single is perfect for the upcoming summer festival season, while the dub on the flip side is more grooving and laid-back.

Grab both tracks on Beatport and don’t miss the group’s six hour DJ set (which will be recorded live for Sirius XM) at U Street Music Hall on May 5. Click here for tickets and info!

Both tracks from the release are available for preview through Volta Bureau’s SoundCloud…

On 4/20 you can catch Beautiful Swimmers at U Hall again, opening for Blisspop and Red Fridays presents Tiger & Woods alongside Tim Sweeney, host of WNYU radio show “Beats in Space.” Prepare yourself for their set with the following listening tips.
