Maurício Amaro

Nightlife Writer & Editor

Maurício Amaro has spent 15 years covering nightlife, electronic music, and urban culture across four continents. Equal parts music nerd, map obsessive, and night owl — with a soft spot for rooftop bars, obscure techno labels, and late-night tacos. Neurodivergent, proudly chaotic, and always at the back of the room near the speakers.

When not writing about nightlife, Maurício can be found deep in a video game, watching football (the real kind), hiking somewhere with bad cell service, or arguing about which DJ set was better. He believes the best parties happen when you least expect them, and that the queue outside is always worth it.
