Trentemøller Competition

Win tickets to see Trentemøller in London and more!

The electronic don known as Trentemøller has been busy cultivating a serious following over the last few years. The reason for the Danish production wunderkind's cult appeal is obvious: he's incredibly versatile. His sound warps from deep minimal techno bombs, to filthy electro - often within the space of one track, as on his classic 'Moan' - to emotive, melancholic synthscapes and downbeat introspection, as on his recent album for Poker Flat, 'Last Resort'.

Trentemøller's got that special quality that makes him a cut above other producers operating in the same orbit, and stepping beyond the traditional producer/DJ role, he's devised a live band, with a show that takes his electronic improvisation and fleshes it out with live instruments to create a bewitching sonic rapture. Working with Ableton, symbiotically hooked up to the amps of a guitarist, keyboardist and drummer, he jams live on the spot, drawing from deep wells of electronic groove, creating new sounds on the fly as he keeps the crowd jumping.

A killer live show at Glastonbury has already proved his audacious skills, and now the Danish dude steps fully into the limelight with a headline show of his own at London's Kentish Town Forum on Thursday 8th November. Tickets are priced at £14, and are available from seetickets.com.
