The act has had three entries on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart:[1]

The name "Dat Oven" refers to new ideas arising from friction, for example the clash of opinions that a creative duo might impose on each other; or the conflict between art and commerce. Friction generates heat; heat comes from the "Oven"; D.igital A.udio T.echnology is Dat Oven's medium (DAT).
In 2014, sister labels Night Slugs (UK) and Fade to Mind (US) put out a joint re-release of "Icy Lake", including several remixes by artists on both labels. [2]
