saw there was a light

Digital Finesse is proud to present Alex Barbu's Adolescence EP, a five-track vinyl that gives voice to a shy, introspective mind shaped by uncertainty. Oscillating between electro and techno, this record captures the raw essence of youth—where emotions are both unfiltered and deeply complex.

In June 2024, when we first listened to Alex Barbu’s tracks, we were immediately struck by their precision and sincerity. A bold minimalism, straight to the point, yet infused with intricate sound design and immersive atmospheres inspired by mountains and Mediterranean ambiances. Adolescence EP encapsulates that fleeting moment between innocence and self-awareness, between the effortless and loud grace of youth and the quiet nostalgia in the coldness of adulthood. As simple as the strong emotions of adolescence. As intricate as the places they transport you to.

To the three original tracks by Alex Barbu, we added two remixes that open new emotional dimensions. First, a never-stop-evolving rework by the Monolith, who fully JimmyBattified "Living Without Ego." Then comes Blinkduus Dischetto, closing the record with his signature raw sensuality, a tactile and almost cinematic reinterpretation that lingers long after the needle lifts. Each track tells a story. Each sound is a memory. Unique, like every life experience.
This is the kind of emotion Digital Finesse strives to bring to life.

Disillusionment For The Emotional Type

im having a rave in my room all by myself (draft)

im having a rave in my room all by myself

pazds - 6 Days (Memo Boy Remixxx)

Batman loathes himself and vomits

the city screams for the guillotine and i pray that they will never find me
my hair shedding everywhere leaves a trail from burdens i can't bear
just a teen wipe my record clean when i become what I dread to be
shut eyelids i was only a kid dip my toes in solace they forbid

tell me what to do
im nothing without you
would you tell me what to do
what is wrong and what is true

pretty face put me in my place as the people celebrate your grace
wont bat an eye as my veins run dry and i leave to a jolly goodbye
don't ascend through the decadent cuz the gods will never be your friend
youre unfit so just submit know that probity is not worth it

tell me what to do
im nothing without you
would you tell me what to do
what is wrong and what is true

no convictions of my own
only words that make them groan
i cant do this all alone
push me i wont say no
