GORDO, the artist previously known as Carnage, joined us in the BPM Supreme pop-up studio in the Nexus Lounge Miami. He took part in our Take-5 interview series, talked about his newest projects, and shared how his philosophy of “winging it” on stage led to one of the only regrets he’s had in his music career thus far.
The versatile Guatemalan-American DJ and producer, Carnage (also known as GORDO) has been a mainstay on the charts for both hip-hop and dance music since 2012. He shot to fame after self-releasing his own single ‘Teke Teke’ and amassed a string of high-profile collaborators and performances within only a few years. A few names on the list are the late Mac Miller, G-Eazy, Rick Ross, Steve Aoki, Coachella, Tomorrowland, and Lollapalooza, respectively.
"I don't prepare my sets at all. For the last ten years, I've just winged it all. I regret some, too; I winged my Coachella set years ago… It was awesome, but I wish it would've been tighter. That was one of my only regrets."
