Jung dj "Spring Back, Ball Forward" (Soda020) November 13, 2026 on LP/DL Spring Back, Ball Forward is the Soda Gong debut from Jung dj, nom de plume of shapeshifting multi-instrumentalist Randy Riback. Following a series of uniformly great self-releases and cassettes on the dearly missed Lillerne Tapes, this collection observes the spacious and angular dynamics of 1990s Midwestern post-rock through the lens of the bedroom electronic music producer. Perhaps surprisingly, amp worship lies at the center of the album: a fascination with the grain, pressure, and emotional charge of amplification and gain, refracted through the strange remove of digital amp modeling. Tubes, speakers, sag, and in-the-red textures are a critical part of the album’s expressive vocabulary, imparting density and colorful saturation while lending even its most weightless passages a vital sense of physical presence. Over the course of twelve tracks, wistful ambience gives way to blunt heaviness and roiling catharsis, underpinned by a palpable sense of loss and grief. The album’s auspicious cast of collaborators further complicates its emotional terrain. Spoken contributions from Natalia Panzer and Angelina Nonaj occupy strikingly different registers: Panzer’s diffuse and oblique, drifting in and out of the music’s contours; Nonaj’s a vivid travelogue, grounding the record in place and lived experience. Elsewhere, Soda Gong veteran Mister Water Wet joins a small constellation of guests whose playing folds naturally into Riback’s arrangements, blurring the boundaries between computer and ensemble music. For all of its attention to texture, process, and the material qualities of sound, Spring Back, Ball Forward is first and foremost an emotionally potent work, possessed of a directness that can feel rare within experimental electronic music. Riback draws from a rich and idiosyncratic musical vernacular, arriving at something deeply felt and difficult to place: a singular statement whose pathos exceeds the sum of its references. by @_track87

Hello world :) In collaboration with Becky Chung, “web” is a new mixed-media project featuring Becky’s textile work and artists’ music, as part of my Kapha Selections series. Naturally, we’re pretty excited to finally share… “web1” features two new compositions by @vitoriccimusic — an artist and friend who’s had an enormous creative impact on our lives. These pieces are unmistakably “Vito”, to say the least. Featuring his uncanny “multi-directional drumming” (a termed coined by his late friend and collaborator, Rashied Ali), MIDI programming, and audio spatialization— they’re rich, playful, alive and flow just like water. They have a structure that’s undeniably akin to woven fabric— interlocking patterns that are deceptively mapped out, yet entirely delicate and free-form to the senses. It’s music that’s seemingly only “hanging by a thread“. Now available @ https://kapha.info web1 - Vito Ricci textile & 7” lathe cut, 2024 edition of 25 Also, a resounding “thank you” to: @disc_archive for expertly cutting the discs @thethirdrooom for the photography assistance @loudnesswarveteran for the digital masters 🫶🏼🕸️ taken in Yarn.com by WEBS by @_track87

Figured it’d be nice to wrap the best week of my life with a little release of 4 new tunes. I’ve been finding so many things energizing lately, and self-releasing music has definitely been one of them. There’s a link in my bio if you’d like to listen 🙂 jung_dj - “4” art/textile by Becky Chung mastered by Jack Callahan out now on bandcamp & @ninaprotocol 🫶🏼 by @_track87

Kapha Selections #8, the final cassette in the series, is out today Honored to showcase some work by one of my oldest friends, John Gasper, whom I’ve known practically since I'd first moved to New York. What went from consistent talking about our favorite music soon morphed into performing in various free jazz/noise ensembles around the city. John seems to have this boundless well of energy and an infectious brand of creativity-- the perfect collaborator. Though he’s an excellent actor, over the years he's found work and creative freedom as a sound designer for countless plays in the NYC experimental theater scene. After viewing a recent performance titled 'Events' (directed by his wife, Sarah Blush), this tape began as soon as I'd asked him about the soundscape that had taken place mid-show. All of these pieces were composed for various theater performances that were held across NYC since 2017, or in his words: "All tracks were made for theatrical performances, to be heard alongside action, for a time and space defined and ephemeral. For best experience: listen while watching someone doing something, from a certain distance, at appropriate volume." 🫶🏼 by @_track87
