Yeah DAT was big in electronic music.

Everyone in DnB documentaries talks about going to Music House with DATs to get dubplates cut to play in the clubs later on that evening.

This would have been before CD-Rs were commonplace, early 90s.

I believe DAT was also very popular in the 90s "taper" scene. I know someone who used to record Phish shows and I believe that's the format they used.
