The Chipotle Gang is Taking Over Arizona This Weekend!

Carnage, born Diamante Blackmon started making beats as a student at Walkersville High School in Frederick, Md. He’s rocked stages at Electric Daisy Carnival and Coachella, and he closed out the District’s Trillectro in 2013 with his take on electronic trap, a mix of EDM and Southern hip-hop that thuds so hard you can feel it.

When asked in an interview with NBC Miami what sets Carnage apart from other DJs, he replied, “I’m obnoxious and I don’t care.” Carnage, who is a big fan of popular Mexican chain, Chipotle, started a hashtag of #ChipotleGang which quickly became a worldwide trend. “It’s kind of interesting how something so small can just start a movement,” he said. Carnage said he has spotted fans around the world holding 10-foot banners with #ChipotleGang written on it – even in parts of the world where there are no Chipotle locations. After hearing about Carnage’s support of the popular burrito-making business, Chipotle’s corporate management reached out to Carnage and rewarded him with a special card that gives him free Chipotle for life. While in Miami, Carnage said his favorite thing to do is stopping at Pinolandia, a local Nicaraguan restaurant in Little Havana. His favorite food? “Gallo Pinto, Queso Frito, Platanos, Carne Asada, Tostadas,” he said.

DVBBS & Carnage – Chipotle Gang (Original Mix)

Part of Carnage’s success was a remix to the hit song “Spaceman,” which was originally created by #1 DJ, Hardwell.“I didn’t want to do it because I didn’t want to disrespect that song because it was just so good,” Carnage said. But Carnage decided to make the remix and from there it went viral in the United States.

Carnage said one of his big breaks in his career was when legendary DJ Tiesto played his track in a live set on Youtube with over half a million fans watching. It was also his first time playing a song in the trap music genre.

Carnage is continuously making his way up the chain through not only Chipotle but his music as well, and his next stop to perform is right here in AZ. Starting at the N9NEFEST in Tuscon with Steve Aoki and Reid Stefan, followed by the #TURNUP Volume 3 in Phoenix. Lock and load your trap arms everybody, because he’s about to throw down.
