We propose a generalization of the Bloch state which involves an additional sum over a finer grid in reciprocal space around each k-point. This allows for ab-initio calculations of ultra long-range modulations in the density which may involve millions of unit cells but with an efficiency rivaling that of a single unit cell. Thus physical effects on the micron length scale, which nevertheless depend on details of the electronic structure can be computed exactly within density functional theory. As an example, we apply our method to solids subjected to spatially extended external electromagnetic fields.
