Originally written and recorded by Neo-Soul Queen, Angie Stone, ‘I Wasn’t Kidding’ was recreated back in 2011 by the Tarantulaz feat. Tiffany Lorén for release on our sister label Reel People Music.

Some 13 years on we now pass the remix baton onto one of our favourite modern house music producers, Chicago native, Emmaculate.

Tarantulaz are duo Toni Economides & Piers Penfold. The guys started working together back in 2005 and have served up some very dope deep and soulful house music including there ‘3 Sided EP’ on Papa Records, ‘They Forgot It’ feat. Monique Bingham on Om Records and their wonderful remix of ‘Sexy Make Up’ by Peven Everett.

Tiffany Lorén is a subtle yet stunning singer/songwriter, originally hailing from Detroit but now residing in California. In recent times Tiffany has been touring with both soul legend Chaka Khan and RnB queen Mary J. Blige. 

Raised by a Father and Mother who were a musician & abstract painter, Eric Welton AKA Emmaculate was groomed for the arts. Growing up in a city called Elgin on the outskirts of Chicago, he discovered his love for House Music & Hip Hop in the 1980's as a young teenager.

In 1990, Eric started collecting records & learning how to DJ & produce music. He earned the nickname Emmaculate as a play on words because of his immaculate attention to detail & quality beats. He developed his DJ & production skills over the years in House Music, Hip Hop & R&B, and became one of the go to producers & mix engineers in Chicago. Over the years, Emmaculate forged relationships with many of the Chicago legends of House Music, giving him an invaluable education and mentorship. 


2017 marked the year that Emmaculate began releasing music as an artist himself. Since, he has produced songs & remixes on labels T's Box, Mirror Ball (in which he is a partner with Terry Hunter), Ultra, Yoruba, Nervous, Reel People Music, Dopewax, 300 Entertainment, Z Records & more. His productions have reached the #1 spot on Traxsource many times. Emmaculate is twice Grammy nominated as a producer on the Ten City album, "Judgement", and as a mix engineer on Terry Hunter's remix of Beyonce's "Break My Soul". His remix of the 90's smash "Show Me Love" by Robin S was the #1 selling record overall of 2022 on Traxsource, and his remix of Mary J. Blige's "Good Morning Gorgeous" was the #3 Afro House record of 2022 as well, earning him a spot in the Top 20 Artists of the year on Traxsource. The success continued into 2023 with Emmaculate giving the remix treatment to artists such as Incognito, Roy Ayers and Barbara Tucker. 

As a DJ, Emmaculate has played notable events such as the revered Chosen Few Picnic & Festival in Chicago, Amsterdam Dance Event, SXSW in Austin, Miami Music Week, Suncebeat in Croatia, Mi Casa Holiday in Mexico, and Charivari in Detroit. He is currently available for international bookings in 2024.
