​​Phlote is a record label, creative complex and community based in Baltimore, MD founded and run by a community of artists.
 

At the heart of Phlote is a network formed of artists and multi-disciplinary creatives on the frontline of music and culture. It’s a place of cultural exchange, resource sharing and sanctuary.

By joining Phlote you belong to a network of trusted collaborators with access to a diverse groups of leading artists and creatives - who release with high frequency and believe in the power of sharing their work as tools for others to use. 

Activity centers around Phlote.xyz, an open-source library of materials for music making. Phlote aspires to put pressure on the system, by creating a space where artists can be experimental and take risks. To provide refuge away from the virality focused commercial industry. We provide an enclosed space for unfinished ideas, feedback and development.

Phlote Studios allows our digital network to manifest in physical space, forming friendships through gatherings and collaboration.
 

​With the completion of Halo in early 2026, we will have a new physical home and a model that can expand as our network grows around the world. 
 

Membership is currently restricted to a referral system to preserve a shared sense of belonging and alignment of interests, and values. 
 

We hope to create music so virile that it grows its own heartbeat and connects a network of artists who operate with no fear and no limits.
