In March of 2013, Nic (Protoflight) & Michael (boaconstructor) were booked on as "local" support at a well-known venue in Portland, OR for the PDX stop on a friend's tour. As it turned out, the event was actually taking place in the back bar.. which posed an issue as Nic was 15 yrs old, Michael 20 yrs old. The time they spent watching the show through the window while waiting to be escorted in to play their sets was hilariously beautiful.. Fast-forward half a year, they were booked to play together again for BRKfest in Lexington, KY. Still both underage, the two continued to spend time with Nic's parents who, of course, accompanied him to his first out-of-state gig. Over these last 6+ years, the two artists have not only become extremely close, but have come to collaborate on some of the most unique Gameboy (LSDJ) tracks to this day. When given the opportunity to share these collaborations, both gladly agreed to play a "vs" set at Seattle's WAV.fest in 2019. The following recording was taken live at this event.
