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
The Dream feat. Low
Trentemøller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you cannot hear it
so, you intrude upon my dreams
and hate my appearance,
Who gave you the right
to give out the rights?
and to intrude upon My Dreams
You can't take My Dreams
You can't take My Dreams
You can't take and steal from this body...
I never get a chance
in the airport
sick in bathroom with Your Dreams
and a flight to nowhere,
In Victoria, Gare du' Nord (du)
and Tompkin's Square
You're standing on My Dreams
and you don't care,
You can't take My Dreams
You can't take My Dreams
You can't take and steal from this body...
A heartbeat
tears my insides apart
and tears apart My Dreams
in the whirling dark,
I never got to go
I cannot make it
I never get to have Dreams
and I will not take it,
You can't take My Dreams
You can't take My Dreams
You can't take and steal from this body...
They were supposed to be MY DREAMS...
The lyrics to Trentemøller's song "The Dream" featuring Low depict a sense of introspection and contemplation. The opening lines, "Thought over thought, why take the lead? I won't back off, why make a scene?" suggest a reluctance to take charge or make a fuss, emphasizing a desire for peace and simplicity. The repetition of these lines throughout the song emphasizes the internal struggle of the singer.
The chorus, "Everyday we wait for a time, when we wake up to the dream," implies a longing for something more meaningful, a yearning for a moment of revelation or clarity. The dream symbolizes a higher, more fulfilling state of being, and the anticipation of waking up to it emphasizes the desire for change and transcendence.
The second verse introduces a theme of self-doubt and insecurity, represented by the lines, "This is the time when you won't close your eyes, 'cause you once thought your mom was really your dad." This suggests a confusion about one's identity and a reluctance to trust in the perceived truths of the past. The mention of a lawyer who stood in the way and the singer being seen as mad indicate a struggle against external forces and societal expectations.
Ultimately, the song speaks to the yearning for authenticity and the courage to believe in oneself and break free from the constraints of society. It encourages openness to new possibilities and a willingness to embrace the unknown in order to truly wake up to the dream.
Line by Line Meaning
Thought over thought
Reconsidering and analyzing every thought
Why take the lead ?
Questioning the need to be in control
I wont back off
Refusing to retreat or give up
Why make a scene ?
Questioning the purpose of creating a dramatic situation
Everyday we wait for a time
Anticipating a specific moment in the future
When we wake up to the dream
When we finally realize our aspirations and desires
My forgery
My act of deceit or pretending
Fear of repeat
Being afraid of experiencing something again
This is the time when you won't close your eyes
Now is the moment when you refuse to ignore the truth
Cause you once thought your mom was really your dad
Because you previously had misconceptions about your family
And you plead your own case the lawyer you had
Defending yourself with the only support you had, even if insufficient
Just stood in your way believing you mad
Acted as an obstacle, thinking you were crazy
I will not believe the once sought for place
I refuse to accept the previous desired position
Is standing alone just saving face
It is pretending to be strong and confident, but in reality, it is lonely
This is the time when you open your eyes
Now is the moment to see things clearly and truthfully
Truly believe in the words of the rhyme
Have complete faith in the meaning conveyed by the lyrics

Always listening to this when it is cold and I have to travel somewhere away from people I know. Always feels like I'm going forever and for some reason I feel sad and comfy.
