Every record has a story. An influence, a discovery or a moment that changed everything.

At Mint Mint, in Porto, João Vieira — musician, DJ and founder of projects such as X-Wife, White Haus and Wolf Manhattan, also known as DJ Kitten — welcomes artists and bands for conversations around the records that are part of their musical universe.

From lifelong influences and albums that have been fundamental in shaping their artistic identity to new discoveries currently spinning on their turntables, each guest picks records from the shop, puts them on the turntable and shares the stories, references and ideas that help shape their music.

More than an interview, it is a meeting of musicians, records and people who share the same passion. An informal, unhurried conversation where every track opens the door to a story and every record reveals a little more about the person on the other side.

At Mint Mint, music doesn't stay on the shelves. It makes its way to the turntable, passes from hand to hand and sparks a conversation.

The first guests are Glockenwise.

Glockenwise made their debut with the albums *Building Waves* (2011), *Leeches* (2013) and *Heat* (2015). But maturity eventually set in, the punk urgency began to fade and, in 2018, a different Glockenwise emerged, with Portuguese taking centre stage.

*Plástico* (released by Valentim de Carvalho) marked the beginning of this new chapter for the band. Named National Album of the Year by Antena 3 and *Público*, it made room for both everyday, down-to-earth gestures and deeper themes.

It was followed by the acclaimed *Gótico Português* (released by Vida Vã), a statement of artistic independence released in 2023. Celebrated by audiences and critics alike, it was considered the best, or one of the best, Portuguese albums of the year by several publications.

Their sixth studio album, *Vale tudo para chegar a algum lado*, was released on 23 September 2026.
