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
Kamanda's Response
Trentemøller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're also standing on my roof
You say I'm on rockets to stars
Your shadows waking me at night
You may be on top of the world
My ceiling shakes
And that's the truth
You say I'm on rockets to stars
Four steppers
Is two too many
Your storm too strong
Three voices
Unnecessary
Your call too long
Two questions
Means I am ready
Beware my pain
One warning
Then kiss you deadly
No love refrain
So what you can walk on the clouds
Pressure only makes it rain
So hot to the fingers that touch
Glowing embers hit the ground
So what you can walk on the clouds
Footsteps driving me insane
So hot to the fingers that touch
Burning bodies never found
The song "Kamanda's Response" by Trentemøller presents deep insights regarding the power dynamic between two individuals. The lyrics suggest that one person may feel like they are "on top of the world" and capable of achieving their dreams, whereas, the other feels repressed and obstructed by the former's success. The first line of the song, "You may be on top of the world, You're also standing on my roof" demonstrates the dominating nature of one person's success over another. The individual on top of the world feels untouchable, but their success is causing harm to the other person, who is trying to thrive in the same space, but is limited by the obstacles imposed upon by the dominant figure. The lyric "You're only taking up my light" further portrays the sense of suppression felt by the other person.
The song then goes on to describe a power struggle between two individuals where the singer is ready to take action against the offending individual. The lyrics suggest that the singer is prepared to stand up for themselves and take revenge, "Four steppers, Is two too many, Your storm too strong, Three voices, Unnecessary, Your call too long, Two questions, Means I am ready, Beware my pain, One warning, Then kiss you deadly, No love refrain." These lyrics also allude to the idea that the singer is not afraid of the consequences of their actions, even if it means inflicting harm on the other person.
