Upon returning to Melbourne, they immersed themselves in the local music scene, honing their craft through weekly open deck nights at Sub Club. It wasn't long before Stackpackers formed, marking the inception of their musical partnership.
In March 2024 Stackpackers closed the main stage of the first edition of Touch Bass in Melbourne, with Twisted Audio, playing straight after Wilkinson, Kanine and Sota.
