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
Gravity
Trentemøller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See it as a way out
Sink into it
Lay down
Let it pass over you
Let pass the grinding stone
Let nothing stop you
We never spoke again
It was never the same
You stayed
I kept on
Let it pass over you
Let pass the grinding stone
Let nothing stop you
From being alone
The lyrics to Trentemøller's song "Gravity" suggest a deep introspection and a sense of surrender to the forces that bind us. The mention of gravity implies a powerful force that holds the subject, representing something that may be burdensome or restraining. However, the lyrics also present an alternative perspective, encouraging the individual to view gravity as a possible escape or release. The line "See it as a way out" suggests that rather than fighting against gravity, one can find solace and a sense of freedom by embracing it.
The subsequent lines "Sink into it, lay down" could be interpreted as a call to surrender to the weight of gravity, allowing oneself to be completely immersed and vulnerable. This surrender is further emphasized by the repetition of the phrase "Let it pass over you." Here, the lyrics encourage the listener to let go of resistance and allow the natural flow of life's challenges to wash over them.
The subsequent lines "Let pass the grinding stone, let nothing stop you from being alone" add another layer to the interpretation. The grinding stone may represent the difficulties and hardships that one encounters in life. By letting it pass, the lyrics suggest that one should not allow these challenges to hinder their personal growth or their ability to be alone with themselves. It implies that solitude can be a source of strength and self-discovery.
Overall, the lyrics to "Gravity" convey a sense of surrender, acceptance, and resilience in the face of life's obstacles. It encourages the listener to find inner strength and a sense of peace by embracing rather than resisting the forces that surround them.

I love the subtle moments in this video. The way the first driver flashes a credit card that Mr. Carpool waves away, further revealing his run-down lifestyle. And the moment with the girl when they both touch their hair... man, that was great. That's when I knew she was a critical character and the plot would circle back to her.
Andrew Burnet
Magic in music. Trentmøller is one of the best artists of our time.
Mrsbeatle1968
Truth be told the music was pleasantly humming away I was taken to a different place with the odd beauty of this video. Having Oscar Isaac to look at for a few minutes is a bonus. His smile is quietly breathtaking!
D Greer
Great video/music. So many subtle little touches. Terrific job by Oscar Isaac, though I wouldn't expect any less from him. This was filmed mainly in the downtown area of Los Angeles. Of course we don't have people waiting by freeway onramps wearing suits.

Such a random choice to watch this vid- thought it was a different song-(sorry!). But OMG-what a fantastic piece of art you've created here! Totally brilliant video,awesome song & beats, & OMG -Think I'm in luv again!! Oscar is outta this world gorgeous -yumyum! And great job with the acting from everyone. Its such a totally hilarious video because of that & the great characters, yet at the same time, a sad indictment of the crappy world we little "ants" have created for ourselves-getting to & from work is worse than actually being there all bloody day! I not anywhere near Southern California, but my bro used to be then swapped it for Minnesota of all places & I seriously do not know how people cope with that sort of commute on top of all the time slaving away AT work-knowing they've got at least a 2hour drag 2 get home! Gr8 job too of highlighting the environmental impact of all those exhaust fumes in2 the atmosphere. Not sure if that was intentional or not but FAB filming. Oh dear,will just have to watch it a few more times now as can't decide btwn Oscar & Theo-thankfully dreams are free & neither of them can see me drooling..haha!! BTW-so nice to see so many positive comments under here,I getting so disgusted with the b/shit I see every time I wana watch a song, then look down & see what people write either about the artist,the song,the video,& even worse-just all the pure hate out there that has nothing to do with the song OR the video!! WTF??!! I abhor censoring generally,esp in music,but its getting to the stage where Youtube /F/bk /etc seriously need 2 pay more attention to the comments they let people put up-seriously if you ain't got anything nice 2 say then just DON'T!! Thanx 4 gr8 vid xoxo
Danielle Dill
Couldn't agree more! I loved it :-)
