本周五的有机共生，我们邀请到国内最具影响力的电子音乐人之一 MHP，他善于将底特律的传统声响与 Hypnotic Techno 相结合，构建为舞池而生的未来主义武器。MHP 的作品还受到 Jeff Mills 的青睐，并曾经被 Beatport 网站推荐为当月最佳 Techno。除此之余，许久未见的 Motel77 也将在当晚重返 POTENT，暗黑，深邃，律动始终是他们的音乐符号；还有 Hydra 的创始人 Prymara 依旧带来其充满情绪的选曲，为晚场舞池持续蓄力。

Cybionte 是一种概念假设，以地球生命为基础，探讨其与数量巨大且极赋创造力的人类个体通过各种形式彼此之间的互相作用，钩织出一片自组织巨型网络，催生出更高能量和创造力的有机共生。POTENT 以此为名展开系列活动，着眼于灵动、芬芳的旋律，越过城市的钢筋水泥，在悠然鲜活的氛围之下投射一幅有机共生的自然风貌，并以扎根于舞池的方式，以听者为对象书写一个恒久的空间，在自然色彩的点缀下洋溢精神的活力，还原派对的本相，畅快表达喜乐之情。

Marko ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence.  Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of this music that he loves best: melodic synth work, ethereal backdrops, hard basslines, and speed from old good European raves…
