The Spill project was started by musicians in 1980s Brisbane as a way of keeping a permanent contact address for records released by ourselves and others. In the 90s it became a more active label and studio, based in Melbourne, Australia, organized by Greg Wadley with help from a broad community of music makers.

At first the Spill multimedia presence consisted of photocopied mail-order catalogues placed inside record sleeves. We started this website in 1994 - early for a music label - with help from computer scientist Richard Hagen.

In 2022 Greg discussed 90s-era Spill on radio 3CR show And This Ones Introduced By - click to listen.

The first release by Spill was a compilation cassette of Australian bands produced in 1991/2. The second and third Spill compilations were released on cd in 1993 and 1995. Spill has also co-produced theme compilations and albums by individual bands.

Over 350 albums have been recorded or mastered at the Spill studio - click for details.
