Higher EP by Tassels

Few are aware that prior to donning the 'Shady Monk' mantel in 2013, I'd been releasing music pretty seriously under the name 'Tassels' between 2010-2012, with 'Gravity' (a sort-of play off of my last name 'Gravagno') being a short in-between alias while I was figuring out my vibe and how I wanted to be known. During my 'Tassels' era, I was heavily driven by the French House scene, and made friends with prolific French House producer 'NEUS'. I had been seeking labels to host my work finally, & this EP was originally released via NEUS' 'FUCKTHESOUND' record label, but was never officially distributed to streaming services. Since I was in a bit of a confused transitional period with my creative work, I opted to have the release taken down at the time, but this honestly was a huge milestone for me back then, to have a label accept my work, and to get remixes from prolific producers I looked up to. It was a big learning experience, and It was honestly the remixes that NEUS & his pal Flat Fuzz did for me, that sort of woke me up to how much more I wanted to grow and push my productions forward.
