Globally-renowned DJ/Producer GORDO is set to unveil an exclusive Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1 this Saturday, June 10th. Following two extraordinary performances at Coachella, GORDO has quickly become one of the most sought-after artists in the tech house scene. With a relentless tour schedule that has taken him from Hï Ibiza, Green Valley, and Shalvata Tel Aviv to Lollapalooza, Fiction Canberra and Savaya Bali, GORDO has firmly established himself as a force to be reckoned with.
Known for his willingness to take risks and experiment with his style, GORDO has collaborated with industry heavyweights such as The Martinez Brothers, El Alfa, KAS:ST, Feid, and Drake showcasing his versatility as a producer. GORDO was instrumental in the production of nearly half of Drake’s latest album, “Honestly Nevermind,” which catapulted him to the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 Producers charts. Additionally, DJ Mag recognized GORDO’s remarkable contributions by naming him the #1 Hispanic DJ.
Returning to his roots earlier this year, GORDO, also known as Diamante, launched EDIFICIO TARAKA, a pioneering learning center situated in rural Guatemala. Reflecting the same name as his remarkable event TARAKA, which has consistently sold out venues across the globe, GORDO is gearing up for a monumental edition of TARAKA shows as well as his 8 hour long solo set at The Brooklyn Mirage on July 16th, promising an unforgettable experience for his fans.
About GORDO
Diamante Anthony Blackmon has already helped to define a global musical movement. But now he’s doing it again: GORDO is a new house music alias from the artist previously known as Carnage. His quest for this new sound has led to releases such as ‘KTM’, which became an instant Top 10 hit on the Beatport Main Chart, TARAKA, which was named after his own event series, the techno-infused speaker-rattling ‘Leaving Earth’ with KAS:ST, the widely acclaimed ‘RIZZLA’, and house anthem ‘R U 4REAL’
His release “Hombres y Mujeres” alongside Colombian superstar FEID and recent Latin America tour sees GORDO’s return to his Hispanic roots. The Nicaraguan-American DJ/producer honors his heritage beyond giving back with beats though, as he’s fully committed to helping build schools and education centers in Nicaragua as well as his birth-country of Guatemala with the latest opening its doors in February 2023 in Guatemala’s Nuevo Eden.
Already having established his name among dance music enthusiasts, Diamanté solidified his name as GORDO as he broke ground with 6 production on Drake’s latest dance-infused album ‘Honestly Nevermind’, got crowned #1 producer on Billboard’s Hot 100 producers, and #1 Hispanic DJ by DJ Mag. From here it is all about making the music he wants to. No going back.
