No better time than social distancing to immerse in some great music. I have probably listened through this set 5-6 times in the past week, and the first four tracks at least twice that number. @i_oofficial SLAPS @Mixmag youtu.be/nuOZULmbZPc

Today's #coffeesubstitute is @tiesto - Louder Than Boom. Happy @FIRSTweets kickoff day! Kickoff always puts me in the mood for high-energy, nostalgic, straight-up EDM. This was one of my favorite tracks back in the day! youtu.be/xPbNHimE6Tg

Having a blast at the Greenville @VEXRobotics #TowerTakeover event!!

Saturday set recommendation: @russfrumfrunds on @boilerroomtv. I've never seen a) more live gear crammed on one table, b) three guys who look like they're having more fun, c) a funnier artist name. Come for the style, stay for the groovy lofi house vibes. youtu.be/EIOujmiRskg

Today's #coffeesubstitute is @ericprydz - Opus. Not going to give some speech this time, because it really is beyond description. Just go somewhere you won't be bothered for 9 mins, close your eyes, light a candle, take a ride, and attack life head-on. youtu.be/iRA82xLsb_w

Cannot put into words how amped I am for this. It's time to disconnect from reality and plug in to electronic music land - @deadmau5 Cube v3 tour kicks off in Dallas tonight! youtu.be/waGzVes6PWY

Mark my words - this track is going to be huge. It just came up on my Google Play Music kind of randomly, thought I had a gem, turns out it premiered on the @HARDWELL podcast, already shot to Beatport #1, etc. Definitely going in the rotation.

I've mostly used #coffeesubstitute posts to share tracks or artists that have a lot of meaning, fit a mood, etc. Today's is a little different - a bamger from an up-and-coming artist that is just phenomenal! @SWACQMUSIC - "No Strings Attached" youtu.be/s2XtnlGRaQU

I take personal offense to this video youtu.be/Lp7Nh4EBEBg

Well, TIL that there is a Twitter account for Excel, and it is.... Everything I hoped and dreamed it would be.

And for today's bonus, the @NeroUK remake of that track, aptly titled "Angst", was almost singlehandedly responsible for blowing out one of my subwoofers in college. Buckle up, because this will take you for a ride. I want to do a game unveil to this.. youtu.be/lc1ddxiZsa8

Today's #coffeesubstitute was inspired by an ad I saw.. Justice is doing a "live space opera event" in movie theaters next week? The track is named "Stress", and it is one of the most perfect translations of an emotion to audio that I have ever heard. youtu.be/BUCGocEAD2k

@kennethson Although it is a bit of an amusing time capsule, the last time I was super active on Twitter was college, so the friends that I do have on here are disproportionately people that I haven't seen in a long time (HI Kenny!), which is kind of fascinating.

I wasn't sure what my Twitter feed was going to look like when I decided to try getting back into social media, but it looks like it's pretty much just me sharing what I listened to on my drive to work that morning, and I'm perfectly okay with this.

@kennethson I should've been more clear - I mean my feed of what I tweet. My actual feed is a mess of ads and politics. Really need to figure out how to filter that stuff so that it's just actual posts from friends that I'm interested in.. Haha.

1 - The track that got me hooked when I accidentally downloaded it off of Limewire 15 years ago: "Cities of the Future". youtu.be/IoO06dGedxQ 2 - The track that I introduce them to people with now, on my list of all-time fav tracks: "Becoming Insane". youtu.be/WxhTbxMSvT0

Today's #coffeesubstitute is some #psy. Wore a new @infected Mushroom shirt yesterday, which prompted a friend to ask about it, which led to that magic 20-min conversation where someone discovers a new world for the first time. That moment is why I love sharing music with others.

@pat67 I think you will dig this one. Proper speakers / headphones advised.

Today's track came a bit out of nowhere and blew my mind, I'm not quite sure what genre this would be, other than "wake up and attack the day head on". A bit @bassnectar -esque in the best way possible. @SevenLionsMusic - "Creation" youtu.be/bSZyCC6NPNU

I'm not an overtly political person, but I enjoy "watching" election season, polling races, etc. My winner in last night's debate was the moderators.. Pointed questions, steering responses into actual debates instead of letting candidates get away with a series of stump speeches.
