their own biography
the whole biography
Maria “Ri Ri” Garcia, known worldwide as Rimarkable, is not just a DJ, producer, and vocalist. She is a cultural architect, an Afro-Puerto Rican powerhouse who has been shaping the sound and spirit of dance music for more than two decades. Brought up in Detroit, sharpened during childhood summers in Chicago, and thriving in New York City, Rimarkable embodies the full spectrum of the Black diasporic tradition—gospel, funk, soul, jazz, house, and techno, all transformed into electrifying soundscapes that ignite dance floors across the globe. Her story begins in the sanctified heat of a Pentecostal church, where her mother, a classically trained pianist and music minister, saturated her childhood with gospel harmonies and discipline. Summers in Chicago exposed her to the earliest pulse of house music, embedding in her DNA a rhythm that would later define her life. By 1997 she was on the decks, and by 2006, frustrated with the industry’s barriers and biases, she became her own producer, turning resistance into innovation and claiming complete autonomy over her craft. Since then, Rimarkable has built a singular career that bridges worlds. She has shared stages with legends including George Clinton, Madonna, Erykah Badu, Louie Vega, Honey Dijon, Roger Sanchez, Pete Tong, and Francois K, while simultaneously cultivating underground spaces that honor community, authenticity, and radical joy. Her long-running events in Detroit, New York, and San Francisco have become touchstones for dancers and DJs alike, curating nights that are as spiritual as they are explosive. In 2021 she joined the storied Defected Records family, cementing her place among global house music royalty. As a host of the weekly Defected Radio Show, she now reaches millions of listeners across more than 170 FM stations worldwide, bringing her distinctive voice and impeccable taste to an international audience. Beyond the booth, Rimarkable is a celebrated educator and thought leader. She serves as an Adjunct Professor at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute, and instructor at Waajeed’s Underground Music Academy, where she teaches her groundbreaking course series, “The Alchemy of DJing.” This work frames DJing as both art and ritual, blending technique, history, spirituality, and cultural analysis into a visionary curriculum, with raw truth and resources for navigating the scene as a business. She has presented versions of this lecture and workshop in Nairobi, Berlin, Yale, and the Queens Museum, underscoring her mission to expand dance music’s role as a vehicle for healing, liberation, and collective power. Rimarkable’s artistry is rooted in more than beats. It is about presence, justice, and transformation. Whether unleashing a thunderous techno set, layering vocals over soulful house grooves, or leading students through the metaphysics of rhythm, she approaches every arena with the same intent: to elevate. To remind us that music is ceremony. To preserve the roots of dance music while pushing it fearlessly forward. With releases on labels including Classic Music Company, Big Love, Club Bad, and her forthcoming imprint Betty Jean’s Dream, Rimarkable continues to expand her sonic universe. Each project is a testament to her philosophy that excellence, dignity, and artistry are not optional but essential. Detroit is her foundation, New York is her canvas, and the world is her stage. To experience Rimarkable is to step into a revolution of rhythm, where every beat is an invitation, every set is a sermon, and every dance floor becomes a sanctuary. This is more than music. This is Rimarkable.

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 was exposed to the sounds of House Music in the late 80's as a young teenager. In 1990, Eric started collecting records & learning how to DJ & produce music. Eric was nicknamed Emmaculate as a play on words because of his immaculate attention to detail & quality. He developed his DJ'ing & production skills in House Music, Hip Hop & R&B, and became one of the go to producers & sound engineers in Chicago. He spent years working as a producer & mix engineer for many artists in the US, as well as DJ'd countless events. Over the years, Emmaculate forged relationships with some 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 Ultra, Helix, Big Love, Soulfuric, Fool’s Gold, Yoruba, Nervous, Reel People, Dopewax, Z Records, Mirror Ball, Peppermint Jam, Djoon & more. His productions have reached the #1 spot on Traxsource many times over. Emmaculate has been nominated for a Grammy 3 years in a row as a producer on the Ten City album “Judgement” in 2021, a mix engineer on Beyoncé “Break My Soul (Terry Hunter Remix)” in 2022, and Mariah Carey “Workin’ Hard (Terry Hunter Remix)” in 2023. 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. The success continued into 2023 & 2024 with Emmaculate giving the remix treatment to artists such as Incognito, Roy Ayers, Barbara Tucker, & Shawn Christopher, as well as originals that landed him a spot in the Top 20 Artists on Traxsource for the third year in a row. He has also produced a new Ten City album for Nervous Records that’s slated for a 2025 release. As a DJ, Emmaculate has played notable events such as the revered Chosen Few Picnic & Festival in Chicago, Southport Weekender, Amsterdam Dance Event, SXSW, Miami Music Week, Suncebeat in Croatia, Mi Casa Holiday in Mexico, and Charivari in Detroit.
