Starlane São Paulo just swung its doors wide open, hitting the scene as a bold new spot for music, pizza, and drinks in the heart of the city. Launched on the heels of today’s buzz, it’s the brainchild of Bruno Cabral, Gustavo Pacini, and Leandro Cabral—a trio with their fingers deep in the pulse of music and hospitality. These founders aren’t newbies; they’ve got a track record of shaping spaces that vibe with creativity and connection, drawing heavy inspiration from the London Starlane, a long-standing haven for artistic expression and inclusivity. This São Paulo edition keeps that spirit alive, mixing a gritty, 24-hour dancefloor energy with a laid-back culinary edge—think quality slices and cocktails meets late-night beats.
The venue itself is a sonic playground, carved out of a 1940s property that’s been gutted and reborn with a sharp eye for detail. You’ve got original parquet floors and raw, exposed beams clashing with sleek, modern lines—a combo that feels both nostalgic and cutting-edge. The real star, though, is the custom sound system, cooked up by audio wizards Cristiano Zanette and Daniel Campello. It’s anchored by two massive 2.7-meter horn-loaded towers, tipping a hat to vintage Altec designs, and paired with acoustic treatment so tight you’d swear you’re in a studio. With a 400-person cap, this isn’t some sprawling warehouse—it’s intimate, deliberate, and built for sound that hits you right in the chest.
Kicking things off, Starlane São Paulo is leaning hard into local talent for May, letting the city’s own producers and DJs set the tone before opening the decks to national and international names in June. The bi-monthly Half Baked showcase is already locked in, promising cuts from heavyweights like Margaret Dygas, Voigtmann, and Shonky—a lineup that’s got the underground faithful buzzing. It’s not just about the music, though; this spot’s gunning to be a hub where São Paulo’s creative crowd can link up and vibe out.
