Formerly "ALIVE 2021: A Daft Punk Podcast", but we decided to keep talking about this stuff longer than originally planned!
ALIVE: A Good Ground Podcast is hosted by three best friends from Detroit who love dance and electronic music. Each episode, we focus on an artist, album or set and dive deep into it. ALIVE is part history, part conversation, part music review and all essential for any hardcore electronic music fan!
SEASON ONE (episodes 1-27) focused solely on Daft Punk, the most influential music group of the last quarter century. We delved into the history of Daft Punk, from their earliest days as best friends in eighth grade to their chart-topping fame as the world's most important and secretive dance music megagroup.
Hosts:
Andy Reid (Enthusiast) @andy_enthusiast
Devin Rosni (Devin Jetski) @devinrosni
Darren Shelton (Modhouse, The Wonders of the Deep) @themostdarren

Episode 33 - Daft Punk - Random Access Memories (10th Anniversary)
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!

Episode 32 - Frankie Knuckles - 1999 Essential Mix
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!

🤖🤖
just found you guys- excited to binge your show! Funny, I’m always the friend who talks way too much about Daft Punk. not seeing the ‘07 Alive tour is such a big regret- so happy you didn’t watch Ben Harper at Lollapalooza instead- you should hold that over your friends forever haha
An amazing conversation about our 2 favorite robots.
I wont lie, I fell back in love with Daft Punk after they broke up and i regret losing interest years ago. After that, they are amazing and I'm always thinking or singing their music.
Loving the podcast, you guys are really likable and always so informative about everything. You make it feel like they are still here and glad you are continuing their saga.
Keep doing you! Also question. Should i buy a thomas helmet? Lol thanks.
Rediscover the Dudes That Made Discovery
This podcast made me fall in love with Daft Punk’s music all over again and introduced me to some SWEET French House. Super knowledgeable, super cool.
