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
Sycamore Feeling
Trentemøller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanna see spring
Unfold your believes
is it coming on?
Fading the dark I'll let it fade
your ghost to the sun
Feel it dying
till my eyes go blind
All the dead end
Fainted pictures
Bended lies my
Lovers cross I'll
Save it for my man
Put your trust in me
Wanna live free
Unfold my believes
Corral skies are coming on
Hazy Jane
All the dead ends
Fainted pictures
Bended lies my
Lovers cross I'll
Save it for you Is your heart in need
Wanna be spring
Unfold your believes Is it coming on?
Fading the dark
Let it in on a morning train
Called your name
Sycamore Feeling
All the different
Voices of your name
All the lies and All the different
Voices of your name
All the lies and
Slow the drug of mine
Would they holler...?
The lyrics to Trentemøller's "Sycamore Feeling" is a melancholic call to let go of the past and embrace new beginnings. The song starts with a question, "is your heart in need?" suggesting that the listener may be holding on to something that is hindering their growth. The next line, "wanna see spring," is a metaphor for new beginnings and growth. The song then emphasizes the importance of letting go by saying "unfold your beliefs" and "fading the dark, I'll let it fade, your ghost to the sun." The last line of the verse, "feel it dying till my eyes go blind," suggests that the singer is willing to let go completely, no matter how painful it may be.
The chorus repeats the same imagery of dead ends, faded pictures, and bent lies. The line "save it for my man, put your trust in me," is ambiguous but suggests that the singer is willing to be a source of support for the listener. The second verse switches "save it for my man" to "save it for you," which may indicate a shift in who the singer is addressing directly. The verse then reiterates the importance of new beginnings and letting go of the past. The chorus repeats, and the song ends with the lyrics "all the different voices of your name, all the lies and slow the drug of mine, would they holler?" which suggest the singer may be struggling to let go or move on.
Overall, "Sycamore Feeling" is a beautifully written song that explores the complexities of letting go and starting anew. The lyrics are open to interpretation, and the metaphorical language adds depth to the emotional themes of the song.

wish the radio played music like this
@nismo7501
Trentemøller's music envokes something deep, dark and warm. This trend is carried through the majority of his tracks and I love it. To me, he is one of the frontiers with respect to bringing this type of feeling to electronica music. Can't wait to see this guy in Atlanta, GA.
