Gordo is the house and tech house project of Diamante Anthony Blackmon, an American producer and DJ born in Washington, D.C. to Nicaraguan parents and raised partly in Guatemala. He first rose to prominence in the 2010s as Carnage, a festival trap and big-room EDM name signed to Ultra Records, before retiring that alias in 2022 to focus on a groove-driven, Latin and tribal inflected house sound. As Gordo he has released collaborations with Drake, including "Sideways" and "Healing," and built the Taraka party brand around his darker, percussive club sets. He is a regular at major festivals such as Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival and Zamna, and a fixture of the Miami circuit through Club Space and Factory Town. His current sets pull from tech house, afro house and Latin percussion, trading the maximalist drops of his EDM years for hypnotic, dancefloor-focused momentum.
