Trentemoller- My New Album’s Not For DJs
Text by Jonty Skrufff (Skrufff.com)
Danish uber-producer Anders Trentemoller chatted to Skruff this week about
his decidedly downtempo new album The Last Resort and revealed that he’s
deliberately made it for home listening instead of the dance floor.
“This album was made from my heart, much more than my dance music, because
making dance music involves more workmanship in a way while this was much
more personal to me” said Anders.
“If people are disappointed, I don’t care; I’m not making music for DJs,” he
added.
Anders, who’s recently enjoyed massive clubland success remixing the likes
of the Pet Shop Boys, Royksopp, Sharon Phillips and Yoshimoto, stressed he
has no plans to abandon dance music altogether though distanced himself from
the minimal tag, he’s occasionally labelled with.
“Some people have said that my music is minimal but I’ve never seen it as
minimal. With my dance tracks I’ve always tried to add layers and small
details making the track develop and that is not quite what I think of
minimal as being, “ he complained.
“I’m also getting bored of minimal but I’ve always been a bit bored of it,”
he added, “I think that the minimal scene needs a fresh kick.”
Trentemoller- The Last Resort is out shortly on Poker Flat Records.
