"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

---------------
"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.

---------------
"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."

"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.

---------------
"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.

"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."

"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.

"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."

"This is I-Do-Not-Give-A-Fuck music, and it's fantastic. You need to hear this. It really is quite something."
