Gordo (1)

Diynamic, pulsating, and genre-defying, Gordo—born Diamanté Anthony Blackmon—has become a powerhouse in the international dance music scene. Hailing from Guatemala and now making waves across the globe, Gordo emerged first under the moniker Carnage, conquering festival stages with his high-energy sets. In 2021, he transformed both his sound and identity, embracing his roots and channeling a vibrant, Latin-infused house and techno style as Gordo.

His dedication to innovation is matched by his work in the studio, where Gordo has collaborated with superstars such as Drake, producing on tracks for the chart-topping album “Honestly, Nevermind,” and working with the likes of The Martinez Brothers and Rema. Gordo’s musical vision is informed by his multicultural background and commitment to uplifting Central American voices in club culture, often referencing traditional Latin American flavors within his pulsating, groove-laden productions. Gordo’s electrifying energy translates to the stage, where he delights crowds at marquee venues and festivals, including Tomorrowland, Ultra, and Hï Ibiza.

Renowned for marathon performances and surprise B2B sets, Gordo is more than a DJ—he is an ambassador for a new, borderless movement in electronic music. Offstage, he gives back to his community through philanthropic projects like building schools in Latin America, reflecting his belief that music and life are about connection, celebration, and transformation. Always pushing boundaries, Gordo continues to redefine the landscape of house music, blending global influences into a sound that is unmistakably his own.
