Phlote is a Web3 community-driven music platform focused on amplifying the electronic dance music genres (house, techno). Since its birth 40 years ago, electronic dance music has been particularly enjoyed by the black community (original creators), and they want a lot more of it!! The Phlote platform (being designed and built by cthdrl) is where talented artists can own the rights to their music, collaborate with a community of like-minded artists and grow their global fan base. What a win if artists could have a livelihood in what they do and how they want to do it! At the very least they could support their basic living needs - an outcome that is hard to attain with music labels and streaming.
