The first Textvra release marks the return of Gianclaudio Hashem Moniri with the moniker of Kaeba. After several years of production under the name of Plaster, Clouds After Rain and his born name as well, Gianclaudio reveal that was time to get back to his first project. Extended is a slow beat Ep, heavy, made of four very (VERY) long tracks, extended indeed, but with a varaiety of sounds inside, which reveal the ability of Gianclaudio to fill the audio spectrum with evolving textures, rymths, effects and mangled sounds, in a manner that makes the tracks continuosly evolving and perceptive interesting.
According to the Artist, while Extended_#02 and Extended_#04 are made from the same modular session, Extended_#01 offers a different approach, still slow beat but with a futuristic and electro aesthetic and the builds up are made for tension moments. On the contrary Extended_#03 has a deep approach, mentally evolving and fill those empty spaces with an hypnotic charm.

Some words by:
@ Zinovia Arvanitidi
"Top notch production - as always- and even though the tracks are long they manage to keep you interested throughout the whole duration. My immediate thought was that I wish I could listen to this in a club. I'd definitely dance to it."
@ Finn Albertsson
'First of all, this release has four long tracks on it and two of them are very long to top it off but even when clocking in over 11 minutes they never ever get boring because Gianclaudio takes you on an ever evolving journey into minute detailed production that keeps you in suspense and that’s a skill that some producers today are totally lacking.
Secondly, the tracks all seem to be recorded live because the organic flow of each track is absolutely nothing you just program on your laptop and then press play and that is yet another factor that makes this release a total joy to listen to.
And thirdly, due to the length of the 4 tracks all of them are exactly what a DJ want because it enables a DJ to do very long smooth transitions between tracks and slowly but surely work them into the mix without making it sound as if they are stressing it and from this DJ’s point of view that’s exactly how to do it.
So all in all, this release easily gets 10 out of 10 points."

"Slow,futuristic,industrial voyage"
