Presenting ATL Soul Weekly, Slo*Mo’s curated look at some of the week’s most notable sights, sounds and events.

EVENTS:

June 6 — Chaka Khan Hacienda: After a long-ass pandemic-induced hiatus, DJ/event producer Ree de la Vega’s raucous, tongue-in-cheek soiree series — Chaka Khan Hacienda — returns for weekly in-person partying. Expect to hear copious amounts of disco, funk, house and other foot-moving sounds via a rotating cast of all-star record spinners. And the whole thing is served up in an indoor-outdoor setting, for folks still a little weary about large, body-rocking crowds. Free admission. Every Sunday. 5 p.m.-10 p.m. 8arm.
