ASHFORD & SIMPSON - Bourgie Bourgie

Format: 12" Vinyl
Catalogue No.: GR12138
Release Date: 14 Aug 2026
Genre: Disco/Nu-Disco

Like it or not - and, oddly, it has long polarised opinions - Ashford & Simpson's 'Bourgie Bourgie' is one of the most well-regarded and expansive epics of the disco era -a heavily orchestrated delight underpinned by fast-fingered bass and loose-limbed live drums. On this Groovin' Records reissue, the celebrated soul and disco duo's original version comes backed with two later, house-era remixes. There's a sublime, piano-powered splash of peak-time deep house-meets-disco colour from Director's Cut aka Eric Kupper and the late Frankie Knuckles and an epic, 11-minute 'Classic mix' from Body & Soul NYC resident Joaquin 'Joe' Claussell. In typical fashion, he delivers a blend of Afro-Latin percussion, spiritual house grooves, deep house musicality and plenty of instrumentation from the original disco mix. As remixes go, it's simply stunning.
