Azimut Popcast from MENT 2026: How MENT Became the Regional Standard

Source: ravnododna.hr

At this year’s MENT, Azimut & Nevidljiva scena hosted a podcast from a rather exclusive location.

In the Azimut Popcast from MENT 2026 — set up between two restrooms, yet right at the heart of the scene — guests included Zoran Stajčić, Mirko Burazer, and Andraž Kajzer.

The conversation explored why MENT has become the regional benchmark, how 80 bands are selected from 2,600 applications, and why a showcase isn’t a shortcut to fame, but a platform for serious, long-term work.

Among other things, the right questions were asked:

  1. What does the music industry actually look like, and what really matters in the early stages of a band?

  2. If you cook your own food in an Asian restaurant, do you pay less?

  3. What exactly is a ščegetavček?

As for the answers… you know how it goes — tune in to the podcast and find out.
