Flying in from the USA, GRAMMY NOMINATED DJ / PRODUCER -
EMMACULATE (Chicago)
Born into a creative family in Elgin, just outside Chicago, Emmaculate (aka Eric Welton) was drawn to the arts early—his journey into House Music began as a teen in the late ’80s and hasn’t stopped since.
By 1990, he was DJing, collecting vinyl, and producing music with a meticulous ear that earned him his name. Grounded in House, Hip-Hop, and R&B, he quickly became one of Chicago’s go-to producers and mix engineers, working alongside the very legends who built the city’s House legacy.
Since 2017, his own releases have landed on iconic labels like Ultra, Yoruba, Nervous, Soulfuric, Z Records, and more. His remix of Robin S’s “Show Me Love” was Traxsource’s #1 overall seller in 2022, followed by a Top 3 Afro House chart hit with Mary J. Blige’s “Good Morning Gorgeous.”
3x Grammy-Nominated (Ten City, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey)
Remixes for Roy Ayers, Barbara Tucker, Incognito, Shawn Christopher
Festival favorite: Chosen Few Picnic, ADE, Southport Weekender, Miami Music Week, Charivari & more
Consistently ranked in Traxsource’s Top 20 Artists
Whether behind the decks or in the studio, Emmaculate brings authentic Chicago soul with a sound that's timeless, global, and built for the dancefloor.
