Trentemøller (Danish pronunciation: [ˈtsʰʁantəˌmøˀlɐ]; born Anders Trentemøller; October 16, 1972) is a Danish electronic musician from Copenhagen.[1]
Trentemøller made his debut in 1997 together with DJ Tom von Rosen (aka DJ T.O.M.), when they formed the first live-house act in Denmark, Trigbag, and started playing concerts all over the globe. Trigbag's single "Showtime" was played by international DJs such as Alex Gopher, Laurent Garnier and Etienne de Crécy. Trigbag dissolved in 2000.
Trentemøller returned on Naked Music in 2003 with The Trentemøller EP including the tracks "Le Champagne" and "Work in Progress", which he received the award "Danish Up Front Release of the Year" at the Danish DeeJay Awards in February 2004.[2]
In late 2004 he and his friend and partner, DJ Buda, issued a white label remix of Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker", under the name "Run Jeremy." Together they've also made other tracks such as "Gamma" and "25 Timer." Furthermore, Trentemøller has worked together with DJ Buda and DJ T.O.M. for the tracks "Lulu's Theme" and "Ninna Ninna" on their Lulu Rouge album entitled Bless You released in May 2008 on Kenneth Bager's Music for Dreams label.[3]
In February 2005, Steve Bug released the renowned Trentemøller EP "Physical Fraction" on his label Audiomatique. This release put Trentemøller on the map of internationally successful producers, and was followed by three releases on Bug’s main label Poker Flat: Polar Shift, Sunstroke and the Nam Nam EP. Many reader polls awarded him as the Best Newcomer of the year 2005.[citation needed]
Trentemøller is also a much demanded remixer. Highlights have been his remixes for Martinez ("Shadowboxing"), Sharon Philips ("Want 2 Need 2"), Röyksopp ("What Else Is There?"), The Knife ("We Share Our Mother’s Health"), "Sodom" for the Pet Shop Boys, and Moby’s hit "Go". "Go (Trentemøller Remix)" charted at #38 on the Australian ARIA Club chart in October 2006.[citation needed]
Trentemøller's debut album The Last Resort was released on Poker Flat Recordings in October 2006. German magazine Groove Mag and French magazine Trax both voted it as "Record of the Year" in November 2006.[citation needed] The album sold more than 30,000 copies in Denmark, which is unusual for an electronic music album.[4]
His Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 was voted Essential Mix of the Year by listeners in 2006.[5]
In 2007 the song "Moan" by Trentemøller featuring Ane Trolle was a big hit in Denmark as well as a top 30 hit in the Belgium Singles Top 50,[6] and was accompanied with a grim video depicting Laika in space.
In 2008 he composed the soundtrack for the Danish movie Det som ingen ved (What No One Knows).[7]
The song "Vamp" from The Last Resort is featured in episode 2 of HBO's comedy show Eastbound & Down" during a dance scene.
Trentemøller's second studio album, Into the Great Wide Yonder is scheduled to be released end of May 2010. The first single taken from the album, "Sycamore Feeling", will be released at the end of March 2010.[4]
