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
Where The Shadows Fall
Trentemøller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Echoes a bad dream
Waiting for it to disappear
Drifting with joy and fear
Left you when you were sleeping
Floating into the dark night
Shadows of nightmares reappear
To a place where the shadows fall
To a place where the meadows call
To a place where the trees stand tall
To a place I no longer recall
To a place where the shadows fall
To a place I no longer recall
To a place where the shadows fall
To a place I no longer recall
To a place I no longer recall
In "Where The Shadows Fall" by Trentemøller, the lyrics describe a recurring experience of being trapped in a haunting and unsettling dream. The singer yearns for this nightmarish vision to vanish, eagerly awaiting its disappearance. The emotions evoked by this dream are described as a mixture of both joy and fear, indicating a complex and ambivalent response to the dream's content.
The second verse introduces the idea that this dream follows the singer into their waking life, as they mention being left when they were sleeping. The dream's influence persists even outside the realm of sleep, as they feel themselves drifting into the darkness of the night. The shadowy images from their nightmares resurface, instilling a deep sense of sinking and immersion, suggesting the dream's profound impact and the difficulty of escaping its clutches.
The chorus delves into the theme of a lost or forgotten place, described as where shadows fall. It represents a realm that has become unfamiliar to the singer, as they confess to no longer remembering it. This forgotten place is further characterized by the meadows calling and the trees standing tall, painting a serene yet melancholic picture of a forgotten world. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the significance of this lost place and the singer's longing to recall and reconnect with it, suggesting a desire for escape from the haunting dream and the emotions it elicits.
Overall, "Where The Shadows Fall" explores the theme of being trapped in a disturbing dream that persists into the singer's waking life, with the lyrics capturing the complex emotions and longing for an escape. The idea of a forgotten place where shadows fall serves as a metaphorical representation of a lost realm that evokes a sense of tranquility, further highlighting the singer's yearning to remember and return to this fading memory.
Line by Line Meaning
Night after night
Continuously and without respite, during each evening and successive evening
Echoes a bad dream
Repeating sounds and memories of a vividly distressing experience during slumber
Waiting for it to disappear
Anticipating the departure or vanishing of the aforementioned distressing experience
Drifting with joy and fear
Being carried along aimlessly, experiencing both elation and apprehension simultaneously
Left you when you were sleeping
Departed from your presence whilst you were in a state of unconsciousness
Floating into the dark night
Moving gently and effortlessly through the nocturnal hours devoid of light
Shadows of nightmares reappear
Ominous shapes and forms representing unsettling dreamscapes manifest once again
Sinking so deep into
Descending to an increasingly profound level within oneself or one's surroundings
To a place where the shadows fall
Toward a location where darkness permeates and covers all surfaces
To a place where the meadows call
Towards a destination where open grasslands beckon and summon one's presence
To a place where the trees stand tall
To a specific area where towering foliage reaches great heights and dominance
To a place I no longer recall
To a certain location that has faded from memory or recollection
To a place I no longer recall
To a specific destination that has been forgotten or erased from one's mind
To a place where the shadows fall
To a particular spot where darkness descends and envelops the surroundings
To a place I no longer recall
To an area that is no longer remembered or retained within one's cognition
To a place where the shadows fall
Moving towards a location where obscurity casts its influence and presence
To a place I no longer recall
Journeying towards an unspecified site that has slipped from the grasp of remembrance
To a place I no longer recall
Heading towards a destination that has been lost or forgotten in one's mind

"Night after night
echoes a bad dream,
waiting for it to disappear.
Drifting with joy and fear.
Left you when you were sleeping.
Floating into the dark night.
Shadows of nightmares reappear.
Sinking so deep into.
To a place where the shadows fall.
To a place where the meadows call.
To a place where the trees stand tall.
To a place I no longer recall.
To a place where the shadows fall.
To a place I no longer recall.
To a place where the shadows fall.
To a place I no longer recall".

last year when I broke up with a girl from a long distance relationship. I listened to this song constantly, I even woke up early on a weekend to take a walk and listened to this song, eventually getting to a park and laying in the field to feel the emotions.
Tamás Sándor Merácz [_synthjoy]
This stuff recharges me, but I wasn't dealing with a breakup, more like people passing away.
