The Comedy of Errors: The Traveller - Date M [Live Mix] (2 May 1992)

Coming out of the Wonka Beats label in Antwerp, described by Peel as a “top hole place, by all accounts.  I’ve never been meself” The Traveller was a one off monicker adopted by Remy Unger and Sven Van Hees.  Peel played Date M a number of times over May 1992 and deservedly so.  The centrepiece of its sound appears to be what would best be described as a movement for steam organ and bicycle spoke.  I’ve waited for a Sunday morning to post this because it’s a great Sunday morning dance track.  It conjures images of pootling round a Sunday market in Antwerp and watching the world speed by from a cafe pavement table.  If they had been savvy enough, the Antwerp Tourist Board should have used it as a soundtrack to adverts showing just how top-hole the city apparently was.
