Trentemoller will release his new album at the end of May entitled Into the Great Wide Yonder. He will release his first single ‘Sycamore Feeling’ in early April though his own label In My Room.

For those of you who don't know, Trentemoller has remixed artists like Depeche Mode (Wrong), Royksopp (What Else Is There), and Moby (Go) and his album The Last Resort is one of best over the last 10 years.

It will be interesting to see what musical direction Trentemoller will take us with ITGWY. It is rumored that instruments like strings, acoustic guitars and a base mandolin will be used. Sprinkle in his multi layered ambient riffs and hooks and this could end up being another masterpiece.

I wasn't looking too seriously at going to the Roskilde Festival this year until it was announced that Trentemoller would be performing a 2 hour DJ set with his own edits and bootlegs. If that wasn't enough, he has a new album called Harbour Boat Trips - Copenhagen that will be released at the end of June. No doubt he will be playing some of his new material at the festival. In addition Royksopp, Fever Ray, Lulu Rouge, Deadmau5, Mike Sheridan, NIN, Coldplay, Kanye West, Adam Tensta, Oasis and many more will be performing. So I booked a ticket to Copenhagen.

Modeselektor is an electronic music band formed in Berlin, featuring Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary. Modeselektor is reportedly a favorite group of Thom Yorke (Radiohead frontman), who has recommended their albums in interviews and included the song Silikon (from their 2005 LP Hello Mom! and featuring vocalist Sasha Perera) in a publicly available iTunes playlist. The song The White Flash (embedded above) includes vocals from Thom Yorke and this version happens to be remixed by Trentemoller.
