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
Ghost Rider
Trentemøller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey, baby baby baby, he's a lookin' so cute
Sneak around-round-round in a blue jump suit
Ghost rider motorcycle hero
Hey, baby, be be be be, he's a blazin' away
Like the stars, stars, stars in the universe
Hey, baby be be be be, he's a screamin' the truth
America, America is killin' its youth
Hey baby be be be be, he's a screamin' away
America, America is killin' its youth
America, America is killin' its youth
Ghost rider
Ghost rider, ooh
The lyrics to Trentemøller's Ghost Rider are enigmatic and require an attentive ear to grasp their meaning. The song talks about the Ghost Rider, a fictional character from Marvel Comics, created by Roy Thomas and Gary Friedrich. The lyrics portray the Ghost Rider as a motorcycle hero, who is courageous and determined to save America's youth because the country is unknowingly destroying itself. The Ghost Rider's message is that America is killing its youth, meaning that the country's actions are causing harm to its future generation.
The song's repetition of the phrase, "Hey, baby be be be be, he's a screamin' away" signifies the Ghost Rider's outcry for change. The repeated use of the phrase "Ghost rider motorcycle hero" reinforces the character's dominance and ultimately his ability to save America from its self-inflicted destruction.
The lyrics' final phrase, "Ghost Rider, ooh," implies that the Ghost Rider indeed exists and is real. It also leaves the listener with a sense that the character will always be around to protect America's youth from societal harm.
Overall, Trentemøller's Ghost Rider is a song that is open to interpretation, and its meaning is left largely to the imagination of the listener. It is a complex and thought-provoking song that does not follow traditional song structures and leaves plenty of room for the listener's imagination.
