i know we all probably spend more time on social media than looking at our mailbox polluted with spams, and everything moves fast, but i think email updates are still relevant. maybe it's just me being old fashioned and spending too much time on my laptop, but I believe there's something about getting an email that feels a bit more intentional than scrolling through an algorithm.

if you're on the list, i'll send early info about releases, links to podcasts before they go public, discounted ticks for events, stuff like that. just some small perks for people who care enough to subscribe. I'll limit sends to one every few weeks I promise. use what works for you, but I like newsletters and I hope you too.

emails might get lost in your inbox, or you'll unsubscribe eventually, and that's completely fine. no hard feelings. this thing is just here if you want it.

insp-001 vinyl

inspecteur musique presents INSP-001, a 3-tracker ep produced by Artist Indépendant. the release is called Edits That Should Have Stayed On My Hard Drive.

the A side features two reworked versions of a mid-2000s french rap anthem, originally written by a pioneering woman who has since stepped away from the music industry. the lead was extracted using a mixture of sampling techniques and ai tooling.

the B side is a cut-and-merge edit of a late-80s album from India that achieved worldwide recognition — a proto-acid-house landmark built on avant-garde TB-303 leads, composed by a generational talent who passed away in 2015. the melody was created again following traditional carnatic modes from south india. all editing works were made between 2018 and 2025.

cleaning digital files for the booth

2026-01-01

i built a small tool to prepare digital files when i'm playing on older cdjs or when i receive promos that aren't ready for the booth. the reality is that not everyone is playing on the latest equipment, and sometimes you show up to a gig and the usb stick you prepared at home just won't read properly. or you get sent a promo and it's a 96khz/24-bit wav that's peak-limited to -6db with metadata all over the place.

the tool does a few specific things: converts everything to aiff (a lossless format that stores metadata properly and is universally readable), ensures 44.1khz sample rate and 16-bit depth (the standard that every cdj can handle), normalizes to 0 dbfs (the loudest possible signal without clipping), and cleans up filenames based on id3 tags while removing unnecessary stuff like "(original mix)". it supports wav, flac, mp3, aiff, and m4a files.

i use it before loading anything into rekordbox, especially when i'm preparing for venues where i know they might have cdj-2000s or older. it's built with python using streamlit for the interface, pydub for audio processing, and mutagen for metadata handling. the normalization is particularly important because promos often come at wildly different levels, and you don't want to be riding the gain knob all night. the sample rate conversion matters because some older cdjs will either reject high-res files or play them back incorrectly.

it's not revolutionary, but it solves a real problem. i got tired of showing up to gigs and having files not load, or finding out mid-set that a track i wanted to play was encoded in a way the equipment couldn't handle. now i just run everything through this before it goes into my usb preparation workflow. simple, reliable, does one thing well.
