intro
WEFUNK honors the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin with a journey from her soul roots to show-stealing covers and anthemic 80s cuts. Plus a handpicked platter from Ruby Jane featuring Chaka Khan and Vanjess, heavy bass boom from the Cool Kids, and sample chasing from DITC to Eric Dolphy and Mingus.

Killer SET. Once AGAIN!
Discovering this gem of a show a whole year late... Everything on FIRE as always - love Ruby Jane's mixes and the mega Aretha tribute. Hope it's not a crime I love the remix she played of Chain of fools more than the original !
Rip to the Queen. Big love from the UK!
Damn, you guys still got it! Unite the free thought peeps amongst the universe
Ruby Jane nails it again Best Aretha tribute ever
