Meet the SpaDogs! Walter Hughes, Primrose (Rosie) Wigglebottom and Emil G. Together we passionately explore a diverse spectrum of genres, crafting both #InstrumentalMusic and #VocalMusic.
We perform, record and produce music at Stark Sound Lab (the Lab) in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. We record most of our music on #AnalogueTape. And yes, we still use a #typewriter!

Inspired by Kristoffer Lislegaard,
@lislegaard, this live recording of “Moving On” is a cinematic experience, born from the exact moment it was first played. It channels the ache of loss and the courage of surrender, transforming those feelings into a multi‑dimensional symphony. Granular analogue synthesis adds texture and depth, turning every sonic fragment into a tangible memory that resonates with the heart.
Live from a mountain in Athens Greece right now!
Just wanted to post an update.
In 2025, SpaDogs released six albums on vinyl. These records represent a long journey that began in 2016.
In 2016, Stark Sound Lab released three albums, each a collection of classic cover tunes performed on vintage synthesizers.
So to kick off 2026, SpaDogs has re-released these three records on Vinyl to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
Due to licensing restrictions, this music is only available as physical media.
I got the The Butterfly archetype!

I really like the blended organic/electronic sounds from #FauxTales. Hope to get a #Keybird L1 when they are available in 2026.

On November 9th, as the first snow of the season began to softly fall, our dear sweet Wally took his final breath. He’s left an enormous hole in our hearts. We knew this day would come, but nothing can prepare you for the pain. We are glad Wally is not suffering and is now free from his worldly struggles. #BostonTerrier.
The linked song is a tribute to him and the impact he made on our lives.
We miss you Wally!
@SpaDogs @lislegaard welcome! Love that you’re recording to tape.
There are a number of exciting things happening around music on the #fediverse - there’s a whole conversation attached in comments to a blog post I wrote last week. I look forward to checking your stuff out!
