Trentemøller made his debut in 1997 together with 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 his The Trentemøller EP including the tracks Le Champagne and Work in Progress. Trentemøller received the award “Up Front Release of the Year” at the Danish DJ Awards in February 2004 for the Track “Le Champagne”.
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 great tracks such as "Gamma" and "25 Timer". Furthermore, Trentemøller has worked together with DJ Buda and DJ T.O.M. on another track on the upcoming and much anticipated Lulu Rouge album entitled Bless You which was released in May 2008.
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.
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. In 2006, Trentemøller also released a remix of Chris Isaak's 90s hit Wicked Game under his alias Businessman. The single was called Dubby Games and was a major underground tune that year.
Anders' debut album The Last Resort was released on Poker Flat in October 2006. German magazine Groove Mag and French magazine Trax both voted it as "Record of the Year" in November 2006.
His Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 was voted Essential Mix of the Year by listeners in 2006.
In 2007 the song Moan by Trentemøller feat. Ane Trolle was a big hit in Denmark as well as a top 30 hit in the Belgium Singles Top 50.
His fourth album, entitled Fixion, released on 16 September 2016

(2) Denmark-based Anders Trentemøller made his debut in 1997, DJ'ing the local club circuit and occasionally performing live. After a self-imposed hiatus spanning several years, he returned with his own productions, which quickly grabbed the ear of the then red-hot Naked Music house music label. His debut EP was well received and won praise from DJs in all electronic music genres. This led to a series of 12" singles on such labels as Audiomatique and Tic Tac Toe before Trentemøller found a home on Germany's esteemed Poker Flat, where he released a series of critically acclaimed singles. His ambitious, moody double-disc album The Last Resort was released in 2006 on Poker Flat. Into the Great Wide Yonder, issued on Trentemøller's In My Room label, followed four years later and was even more removed from the dancefloor. This move toward the midtempo continued with 2013's Lost, a song-oriented effort that featured guest appearances from Jana Hunter, Marie Fisker, and the indie rock group Low. A remixed version of the album, Lost Reworks, appeared in 2014. ~ Rob Theakston, Rovi
All Too Soon
Trentemøller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into an inner void
Is the sound of silence
All you hear
Is it day or night
Is it anything between
I have to know
We can’t live forever
If we could we would
Be as one together
Ah ha ha
All too soon we will be gone
Do you feel like I do
Abandoned from it all
Is a growing darkness
All you see
Is it day or night
Is it love or hate
Is it anything between
We can’t live forever
If we could we would
Be as one together
Ah ha ha
All too soon we will be gone
We can’t live forever
Be as one together
We can’t live forever
We can’t live forever
The lyrics to Trentemøller's song "All Too Soon" reflect on themes of existentialism and the fleeting nature of life. The opening lines, "Have you ever fallen into an inner void, Is the sound of silence all you hear," suggests a sense of emptiness and isolation. The singer is questioning their existence and the meaning behind the silence they encounter.
The following lines, "Is it day or night, Is it anything between, I have to know, Is it love or hate," further emphasize the singer's confusion and longing for understanding. They are uncertain about the nature of their emotions and the world around them, yearning for clarity and a sense of purpose.
The chorus, "We can't live forever, If we could we would, Be as one together, Ah ha ha, All too soon we will be gone," acknowledges the transient nature of life. Despite the desire to live forever and to be united with others, the reality is that time is limited, and life is fleeting. The repeated laughter at the end of the chorus reflects a sense of resignation and acceptance of this truth.
The second verse continues to explore these themes, with lines such as "Do you feel like I do, Abandoned from it all, Is a growing darkness all you see." Here, the singer expresses a sense of being disconnected from the world and experiencing a growing darkness or lack of hope.
The repetition of the chorus reaffirms the inevitability of mortality and the need to cherish and make the most of the time we have. The final repetition of "We can't live forever" serves as a stark reminder of our mortality, urging the listener to embrace the present and seek connection while they can.
Overall, "All Too Soon" is a contemplative and introspective song that highlights the human desire for meaning and connection in the face of impermanence and the passage of time.
