About
GORDO is the house and tech-house project of Diamanté Anthony Blackmon, previously known as Carnage. Born in the United States to a Guatemalan family and raised between Guatemala and Maryland, Blackmon built an early reputation in high-impact EDM and trap before using GORDO to move toward warmer house and techno. His official biography describes the alias as a post-pandemic reset; the DIAMANTE album (2024) brought that new direction into a full-length statement, with collaborations including Drake. GORDO’s music and long-form sets connect Latin and global influences to a club-focused groove, while his official site and social channels anchor the identity against unrelated artists using the same word. The catalogue should preserve GORDO and Carnage as linked aliases, not separate people.
