Daft Punk broke up more than two years ago, but the group has been more active in the last two months than in the previous decade!
Join us for a very special episode of ALIVE: A Good Ground Podcast, as we return to our roots: joyously espousing our love for the two Frenchest robots in the world. There is plenty of WILD speculation about the future of Daft Punk in this episode! Are they mounting a comeback? Are they hinting at the future? Is there a tour on the way? NEW MUSIC? We discuss the re-release of Random Access Memories and all the exciting new tracks on the bonus disc. We also discuss the Snapchat-centric scavenger hunt Daft Punk sent fans on, as well as their first interview as a group in almost 10 years. We also talk about the Infinity Repeating music video, and Julian Casablancas' appearance on Memory Tapes, Episode 1!

Seizing an opportunity to help build a club in a disused Chicago warehouse, a young aspiring DJ named Frankie Knuckles moved from New York City to the midwest to try to strike out on his own and make a name for himself. He did so much more than that — Frankie's unique style at The Warehouse piqued interest around the globe, and music nerds everywhere were soon popping into their local record shops, asking if they had any of "That Warehouse Music." House Music was born.
Join us today to talk about the story of one of the most influential figures in dance music history. Frankie Knuckles forever!

One year ago today, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo published a video on their Daft Punk YouTube page. Instead of a fun new project, the video announced the end of the band they had started 28 years before.
Daft Punk has officially been broken up for a year, and we convened to talk about the group, what we would like to see from each of them in the future and what the last year has meant for us!
Thank you so much for sticking with us on this incredible journey!

In May of 2013, millions of music lovers around the world listened to Random Access Memories and marveled at its immaculate production and beautiful music. Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington were two of those people. Jaar and Harrington, the two fellas behind the band DARKSIDE, tore apart the record, found their favorite noises and restructured the entire thing as a dark, moody and altogether groovy remix album "Random Access Memories Memories" and released it under the pseudonym Daftside.
On today's episode, we break down their album. If you're reading this, Mr. Jaar, please let us kiss your music on the lips.

After decades of success as one of the best and most influential sampling acts of all time, Daft Punk had a bold idea: what if, instead of sampling their heroes' music, they sampled their brains? And thus was born Random Access Memories, the robots' most ambitious, beautiful record of their career. Spanning nearly five years and studios around the globe, R.A.M. was recorded with care and precision with Thomas and Guy-Man welcoming some of their biggest influences, favorite contemporaries and best friends to play on the record.
In this week's episode, we talk about the R.A.M. collaborators. Last week, we discussed the history of the record. Next week, we will do our track-by-track review. Thank you for taking this journey with us!
