Some hardcore kak from the Cape Flats. Including bonus track. --------------- "Mutant is something to behold; he is at once the raw energy of Wu Tang’s Ol’ Dirty Bastard combined with the street poetry of Tupac." - Dylan Valley, Africa is a Country http://africasacountry.com/cape-town-hip-hop-just-got-interesting-again/ --------------- "There are bits of DOOKOOM's debut EP where Isaac Mutant sounds like the fucking devil." - ZH, Obrigado Magazine --------------- "a dark and unapologetic sonic landscape... that sneaks in underneath the skin and bubbles up in an aggressive onslaught." - Killakam, Okayafrica. http://www.okayafrica.com/2013/10/16/south-african-rap-dookoom-kak-stirvy-video-premiere/ --------------- "Mutant brings that hard edge to hip-hop, like Public Enemy, MF Doom and Death Grips. There is an off-kilter rhythm from the drums, the bass squelches everywhere and industrial-strength synths drill down menacingly, creating a sci-fi video-game aesthetic – a soundtrack to an impending apocalypse." Lloyd Gedye - Mail & Guardian http://mg.co.za/article/2013-10-11-00-new-music --------------- "it’s music to listen to and have your mind blown." - Paul, Groundcover Initiative http://groundcoverinitiative.com/2013/11/dookoom/ --------------- "Dookoom aren’t here to fuck around." - Andy Petersen. Platform. bit.ly/1dkZeDt --------------- "Remember when people were freaked out by Die Antwoord? Boy cried wolf. And now the real wolf-pack's here." - Alice Inggs, Rolling Stone online, September 2013. http://www.rollingstone.co.za/musicrev/item/2741-listen-dookoom --------------- "Dookoom eschew any notions of listenability with hard-as-nails industrial synths, growling bass lines, and the spattering coughs of abused lungs filling the space between." - Andy Petersen. Platform. bit.ly/1dkZeDt --------------- "Here come the original Afrikaaps gangsters. Through the Cape Flats trap-rap, the bap-scratch-clap-bap and stray-bullet synth-whine of nightmare-rave, comes the battle cry of the id. Sexual, aggressive – “alles wat mal is” – the EP is a sonic rendering of the pleasure principle; banging beats, a befokte jits lyrical flow, and the cunning linguistics of “gangstery and poetry”... Dookoom wys hulle who the real monsters are in your head(phones)." Alice Inggs, Rolling Stone Magazine, August 2013. --------------- "Mutant is someone who takes current hip-hop trends, holds them upside-down, then shakes them until all the good bits fall out. The resulting assembly may not be for everyone - this is about as raw as it gets - but it's almost impossible to ignore." - Rob Boffard - RobBoffard.com --------------- "hyper-local, super-charged anti-polity rap. Now, see if you can spot where Die Antwoord took part of their style from." - Ts'eliso Monaheng. NTSOANA. http://ntsoana.wordpress.com/2013/09/03/309/ --------------- "I've never been to the Cape Flats but I get the sense that this is as raw and unfiltered as it gets. This music is made by someone steeped in a particular place; it couldn't have come from anywhere else, and in many ways it feels like a real window into someone's world, however fucked-up and bizarre that world may be." - Rob Boffard - RobBoffard.com --------------- "This is I-Do-Not-Give-A-Fuck music, and it's fantastic. You need to hear this. It really is quite something." - Rob Boffard - RobBoffard.com… Expand
