About the album: 

With "Closer", PNFA — the long-running electronic music project of German producer and composer Wolfram Gruss — presents a deeply emotional, sonically rich dance album that manages to balance physical intensity with lyrical introspection. Rooted in the rhythmic DNA of techno, house, and UK garage, "Closer" reaches far beyond the dancefloor. It is a record about memory, longing, and the fragile beauty of connection.

Though every track is anchored in powerful grooves and basslines, there’s an unmistakable emotional core that permeates the album. Gruss masterfully weaves in cinematic melodies, textured atmospheres, and subtle harmonic shifts that suggest stories without words. These aren’t just tracks built for movement — they are meditations on lost love, on moments that once burned brightly and have since faded, on the kind of nostalgia that hits hardest when the night is at its peak.

From pulsating, club-ready cuts to more reflective, slow-building compositions, "Closer" flows like a carefully curated journey. Each track stands strong on its own, yet together they form a cohesive narrative that invites listeners to go inward, even as their bodies respond to the rhythm. It’s this tension — between momentum and stillness, between euphoria and melancholy — that defines the emotional terrain of the album.

Wolfram Gruss has long held a reputation for thought-provoking electronic music, and "Closer" continues this trajectory with remarkable depth and attention to detail. Every sound feels deliberate yet organic, each percussive element finely tuned, each melodic layer carefully placed. There’s an intimacy to the production that makes the album feel personal, even vulnerable, despite its club foundations.

"Closer" is not just an album to dance to — it’s one to feel deeply. It’s about closing the distance between past and present, between sound and story, between artist and listener. It asks you to move, but also to remember. It pulses with life, yet leaves space for silence. Above all, it is an invitation: to come closer, to feel more, and to lose yourself — not just in the music, but in everything it brings to the surface.

Gusgus - Demo 211 V01 Part1

Anders Trentemøller has become one of the most respected names in cutting edge electronic music in the last few years. His rise to notoriety was sparked by his early, techy releases for Poker Flat and Audiomatique and has since gone on to stellar highs with his own personal take on the  genre, spanning, pop, rock, indie and classical. His debut album 'The Last Resort‘ was released in 2006 to much international acclaim, and the producer also began to become an in-demand remixer in the house and techno world. 

As the decade wore on his sound continued to progress, opening up his studio to more live instrumentation, and a looser, rock-meets electronic vibe with his stunning 'Into The Great Wide Yonder‘ LP. From legendary live shows with the 'Live In Concert‘ tour with a full backing band, to remixes for a whole host of talents outside of the electronic world, to producing new bands like Darkness Falls on the label hfn music, the restless creative is always a powerhouse of productivity.

Now this special double CD and double vinyl release celebrates some of the producer’s favourite remixes he completed for other artists, and also some of his personal picks where other musicians have reworked his music. With over 20 super-slick productions to choose from, this is a real treat for any Trentemøller fan, or indeed a great introduction into his sound. From crisp electronic beats, to atmospheric and filmic moments, to heavy post-rock mutations and beyond. This sheer variety in store here is testament to the talent and musical vision of Anders Trentemøller.

All the reworked tracks are taken from last year’s 'Into The Great Wide Yonder‘ album, which fused melancholic, emotional melodies with a more indie/electro-rock studio focus.

This double CD packs so many quality songs and productions it’s hard to list them all, yet highlights on CD 1 include the introductory swathes of Marie Fisker‘s wonderfully contemplative version of 'Sycamore Feeling‘, taking us into lazy, hazy hypnotic waves of neo-folk. Fisker sang vocals on the beautiful album-track, and here we take an insight into her own very talented world. ‘Tide’ flows in as three different versions: Efterklang‘s beautiful new remix, a Trentemøller version, and the inimitable Berlin-based bad-boys Modeselektor remixed 'Tide‘ in their 'Last Remix Ever‘... and it’s a dirty ride with plenty of lo-fi synths fusing with high end production in a rolling melancholic electronic story. Of course we‘d be fools not to forget remixes of Trentemøller songs by none other than Andrew Weatherall, or the main man‘s remixes of artists like UNKLE, The Dø, Franz Ferdinand or Modeselektor featuring Thom Yorke - all must-have modern works, also including Kasper Bjørke‘s tender ‚Does Not Matter‘ which is re-shaped by Trentemøller in glorious cinematic coloured sound. 

Gliding into CD 2 we find even more electronic versions, kicking off with Trentemøller‘s foreboding new mix of his own ‚Neverglade‘, before we hear his interpretations of Efterklang‘s ‚Raincoats‘ or the heroric version of 
Depeche Mode‘s 'Wrong‘. I Blame Coco provide their brilliantly different interpretation of '...Even Though You‘re With Another Girl‘, featuring the new recorded vocals of Coco Sumner, transforming the original with her own low-slung mutation of pop and electronic styles. 'Even Though...’ is also contributed by Hamburg upstarts Kollektiv Turmstrasse providing their stomping mix, in a stylish mixture of pop-meets-deepest-electronica.

Furthermore, we discover brilliant reworks of bands like Mew, Giana Factory or Chimes And Bells. Trentemøller‘s raw and industrial remix of Giana Factory‘s ‚Dirty Snow‘ features the wonderful guitar skills of Lisbet Fritze, who currently tours with Trentemøller on his live show.

UNKLE, maverick UK producer James Lavelle‘s ambitious on-going pro-ject, reaches out into filmic, spacey zones with their remix of Trentemøller‘s classic 'Neverglade‘. Among UNKLE’s version and the bristling, tense electronic remix by Trentemøller himself, this track also appears as an instrumental version that lets the wonderful instrumentation shine.

Trentemøller 'Reworked/Remixed' is a beautiful journey into the musical world of one of the best producers and musicians today, enriched with reinterpretations by some of the most interesting artists. Alternative? Electronic? Rock? Pop? Although it's become a consistent album, genre-barriers completely fade away. But who cares... Enjoy!

Just for fun. My take on this 90s classic by The Orb.

The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds (Less Fluff Mix)

Done in 1999 a remix for the Icelandic duo Bang Gang.  Not sure if it was ever released but it has a nice St. Etienne feel about it.

BIO:
The Icelandic band Gus Gus originally spawned from a shortcut made by Siggi Kjartansson and Stefán Árni (a.k.a. Arni & Kinski) called “Pleasure”. Initially the band was acclaimed as an avant-garde collective of musicians, producers, filmmakers and performers. They mixed together different mediums to create a unique mixture of sound and vision. Their trademark style is combined with funky bass, streamlined synths and the intelligent use of technology and art. Árni & Kinski did the visual part and the musical side was driven by Birgir Þórarinsson (a.k.a. Veiran), Stephan Stephenssen (a.k.a President Bongo), Magnús Guðmundsson (a.k.a. Herb Legowitz). The live band was fronted by singers Daníel Ágúst, Hafdís Huld and Magnús Jónsson (a.k.a. Blake).

Gus Gus is an electronic soul band formed in 1995. A short break in a making of the shortcut made it possible for the first Gus Gus self-titled album to be born. In 1996 the band signed to 4AD Records that released their widely acclaimed second album “Polydistortion”. "This Is Normal" followed in 1999 and finally "Gus Gus vs T-World" appeared in 2000. During the 4AD years, Gus Gus started touring massively, stirring the music world with their powerful live-show. The touring life was stressful for the nine some and eventually called for changes within the line up. Six original members left and the three remaining producers (Veiran, President Bongo and Herb Legowitz) soon found hope in a new female singer, Earth aka Urður Hákonardóttir. The band has ever since focused on being a musical entity. 

In 2002 Gus Gus re-appeared with their 4th studio album "Attention" which includes their most successful dance floor hit “David”. On the album the band teamed up with the legendary producer Gareth Jones and Finnish multi-instrumentalist Jimi Tenor. The album demonstrates a sharply focused club-band full of creativity and even more energetic than ever. Daníel Ágúst

Gus Gus released there 8th studio album, Mexico, on Kompakt, Germany in June 2014
