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
In The Gloaming
Trentemøller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You pull me down
A rose behind all those many thorns
Tears of a silent rain falling
Leading me back to you
Through the dusk, into the dark night
You draw me in
A rose behind all those many thorns
In the gloaming
All the shadows they fall
In the moonlight
All the stars are aligned
For you
For me
For us to see
You draw me in
You pull me down
A rose behind all those many thorns
In the gloaming
In the twilight
Will I find a way?
You draw me in
You pull me down
A rose behind all those many thorns
The lyrics of "In The Gloaming" by Trentemøller Lisbet Fritze convey a sense of being irresistibly drawn towards someone, even though they may have many flaws and challenges.

Despite the numerous difficulties and imperfections, the singer is entranced by their charm, just like a splendid rose amid a thorny bush.
The chorus, "In the gloaming, All the shadows they fall, In the moonlight, All the stars are aligned, For you, For me, For us to see," paints a vivid picture of a twilight scene. It represents a time when darkness is descending, and shadows intensify, but amidst this darkness, there is a kind of alignment and clarity. It signifies that even in the midst of uncertainty and obscurity, the connection between the singer and the subject of the song becomes clear and meaningful.
The repeated refrain, "You draw me in, You pull me down, A rose behind all those many thorns," emphasizes the conflict between attraction and complexity within the relationship. It suggests that the beauty and allure of the person are so strong that they irresistibly draw the singer towards them, even though they are aware of the challenges and hardships that lie ahead.
Overall, "In The Gloaming" explores the allure of a complicated and captivating love, as well as the insecurities and uncertainties that come with such a connection. It highlights the power of attraction, even when faced with obstacles and contradictions.

You draw me in
You captivate and attract me
You pull me down
You have a strong influence on me and bring me down
A rose behind all those many thorns
A beautiful and delicate side hidden amidst difficulties and challenges
Tears of a silent rain falling
Unexpressed emotions and sorrow gently pouring
Leading me back to you
Guiding me towards your presence
Through the dusk, into the dark night
Navigating through uncertainty and darkness
In the gloaming
During the twilight or dusk
All the shadows they fall
The presence of darkness and uncertainty deepens
In the moonlight
Under the gentle glow of the moon
All the stars are aligned
Everything falls into place perfectly
For you
Specifically for you
For me
Specifically for me
For us to see
So that we can perceive and understand
In the twilight
During the period between daylight and darkness
Will I find a way?
Am I able to discover a path or solution?
