DATs are partly responsible for the huge resurgence in the sale of brand new/unreleased "old school" dance music.

There's a vinyl record label called Deep Jungle [0] which specialises in sourcing unreleased (or very limited pressings originally) 90s jungle/drum&bass straight from the artists - for a fair price.

Each release has a backstory often involving getting boxes of DATs down from the attic! The music is remastered with modern technology.

Demand is high (literally selling out within minutes!) as the label covers both older customers (who went raving in the 90s) and the younger generation exploring older music.

I think most of the best Goa Trance was released as DAT tapes. Some of the most legendary DJs, such as Goa Gil, play mostly DAT to this day.
