EMMACULATE

Emmaculate (Eric Welton) is a Chicago-area DJ, producer, and mix engineer whose sound is deeply rooted in the soul of House Music. Raised just outside the city in a creative household, he came up through the golden era of Chicago House — collecting vinyl, mastering the DJ craft, and developing a meticulous studio approach that earned him his nickname. Mentored by some of the city's legends, he became a trusted name behind the boards, working across House, R&B, and Hip-Hop with a signature blend of musicality and dancefloor energy.

Since stepping forward as a recording artist, Emmaculate has released and remixed music for leading global labels including Mirror Ball, Nervous, Soulfuric, Yoruba, Z Records, Reel People, Peppermint Jam, Big Love, Quantize and many more. His productions have consistently topped Traxsource charts, and he has been ranked as a Top 20 Artist on Traxsource for four consecutive years. His remix of Robin S.'s "Show Me Love" became the platform's #1 overall selling track of 2022. Most recently, he produced the new album by legendary group Ten City, "The Next Generation," released on Nervous Records. Beyond his artist career, he is also a partner in Mirror Ball Recordings alongside Terry Hunter and serves as label manager for Hunter's T's Box Records imprint, helping shape the direction of two respected outlets in the global house community.

A four-time Grammy nominee, Emmaculate has earned recognition for work with icons such as Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Ten City, and Yolanda Adams, while continuing to tour internationally and represent Chicago's global House legacy. Whether in the studio or behind the decks, his mission remains the same: move the floor, honor the roots, and push the culture forward.
