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 second guest is Presto (Mind Da Gap).

Presto is one third of Mind Da Gap, one of the most influential bands in Portuguese hip-hop.

A pioneer of the genre at a time when hip-hop was still relatively unknown in Portugal, he began writing his first rhymes in 1993 alongside Ace, over beats produced by Serial.

Together with Mind Da Gap, he went on to release landmark albums in the Portuguese music scene, including *Sem Cerimónias* (1997), a seminal record in terms of sound and lyrical style within Portuguese hip-hop, and *Suspeitos do Costume* (2002), which achieved Silver Record status.

Known for his distinctive flow, Presto has always sought to bring a unique identity and original perspectives to his lyrics, both through his work with Mind Da Gap and his contributions to other projects throughout his career.
