I can't help but feel that DLake's version [Gotye- Heart's a Mess Remix] (been around for a while now) is better... it stays true to the original and has a subtler beat that just suits. -Be Kind & Remind Blogspot
Next up we've got DLake and Symbol are Claire Huxtable bringing that new club sh!t direct from Baltimore. One part MC and one part DJ, Claire Huxtable are a non-stop tornado of club bangers. Classic house, electro, baltimore, booty... if it gets you movin' then their on it. Expect big things from these two in 2008. -FreeNYC.net
2008 is looking like a great year for DLake, don’t be shocked when your dancing all night to his unique track selection and playful microphone antics. -Kidz By Colette Blogspot [France]
Last night, I saw these cats [Symbol & DLake are Claire Huxtable] @ the Wonderland Ballroom in DC. I walked in and wasn't expecting that kind of performance. The joint was rocking! -DontSleepDC.com
The three minute DJ Megamix video for DLake, is fun and unique. -Get Weird Blogspot
Attn: Promoters - DLake is a solid dj who worked the hell out of Chicago two nights in a row. Somebody left the club on Friday night pregnant and it was all because of him. -DJ Zebo
I mean yo, He (DLake) is black and has energy, he (DLake) is going far. -Al Ripken JR.
Big things happening on this mix from Dlake - absolutely killing it... -DJ Mix Downloads
I’m a fan of the tracks and everything, but I mostly carry this mix around because it’s like a magic amulet that turns lame parties into the kind of parties that are so good you wind up fearing for your life at some point. -The Fix Baltimore
Yo... This is like the future of baltimore club or something... -Curtis Vodka
Finally a bloghouseclubwhatever guy admits his ish sounds like ADD...his mixtape...def worth a look, i think this guys up-and-comingggg! -Fucsjones.com
If you thought Bmore was over, bitch shut the fuck up. My favorite OCD negro, DLake's new EP B.O.H. Vol.1 is the sickest stuff I've ever heard.

DLake is the tits. He's like the new kid in class from the big city that doesn't play by the rules. and then some dude tries to mess with him and then he pulls out a knife and cuts you..... with his beats. But then it turns out he studied with monks and knows super karate. And then the chicks all want to get to know him now, but it's too late. He belongs to the wind. And nothing can contain him. Yeah... DLake. -Bird Peterson
Finally, a DJ from Baltimore without the over-used bmore sample. Meet DLake, Maryland’s latest addition to the scene.

Diffibulator is probably my favourite... The creative production coming from DLake combined with JC’s playful and literate lyrics provide a refreshing, hip, un-hop escape from the crap-hop so prevalent today.
-Information-Theory.net
He calls himself a typical Producer, Engineer, Musician, DJ type of fellow, but in all seriousness there is nothing typical about the exceptional beat production abilities of DLake.
