The brainchild of Charlie Tate, founding member of Big Cheese All Stars, Colossus draws from that group's palette of funk and soul to create a tight late-night soundtrack that owes as much to hip-hop and turntablism as it does to traditional jazz. A scattershot rhythm shuffles behind "From the Lab", making for a worked-up, agitated groove. "You A Grown Man Now" is built around a thick, soulful chorus and "Thripeny Bits" peppers electronic trills and blips across a rigid, lockstep backbeat. Colossus is a musical cornucopia, snatching up far-flung influences and blending them to make something odd and engaging.
