Since 2011, ABC DJs Spence, Danbone, DJCG, DJ Chorizo Funk, and Cyrus D have made a splash in the local scene with their monthly all-vinyl party: The Boogie. They have also hosted an array of acts in Austin including Brian Ellis (CA) and Psychic Mirrors (FL). In 2013 they organized their first SXSW party: SXSBoogie. Modern funk acts from across the country gathered on one stage for the first party
of its kind in Austin. The night also featured the twenty-plus year reunion of Austin modern soul outfit Karizma/Trace of Smoke. That same year, ABC completed their first West Coast tour, spinning at renowned boogie nights like Funkmosphere, Sweater Funk, and Funk Freaks, among others. In June of 2014, ABC launched Austin Boogie Crew Records. Their first release was a 7" from Austin's own Solar Shield. A second pressing of the 45 was released in November that same year, distributed exclusively by Rush Hour Music of Amsterdam.
