About the Author
Maurício Amaro
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.
