Originally Phlow is a German webzine founded by Moritz "mo." Sauer a German journalist and musiclover. The magazine initially focused on publishing interviews, portraits and reviews about artists who release their music licensed under a creative commons and several forms of netculture. Since its birth in 2000 Phlow evolved and initiated the Netlabel Catalogue, a directory of netlabels and started an international version in English on September 2007 called Phlow-Magazine.com. Together with Christian Negre Moritz "mo." Sauer started Phlow.es a Spanish version of Phlow.

Started in 2000 and relaunched in 2002 Phlow evolved fast as one of the leading electronic magazines which published interviews, portraits and reviews about music released by netlabels or music released under a creative commons licence. Since 2002 Phlow interviewed musicians, bands and producers from all over the world to cover the missing information given by printed magazines in Germany. Its editor Moritz "mo." Sauer established Phlow in the evolving world of netlabels and covered the culture and history of netlabels in several magazines, events and media.
In 2004 Phlow got nominated for the Grimme Online Award[1][2] - an award for publishing quality on the web. Phlow was nominated in the category media journalism.
With the English edition started in late 2007 Phlow publishes since then for an international audience. While you find reviews about music licensed under a creative commons, you can download also free mixes and compilations. While the Phlow.Magazine editors write about music, Phlow produces a podcast to promote free music to its readers.
On June 12 and 13 the Phlow staff organised together with like-minded creative commons activists from Cologne/Germany Cologne Commons, a conference and music festival about free music and creative commons culture.
In July 2009 Moritz "mo." Sauer starts the Spanish edition of Phlow together with Netaudio activist Christian Negre better known as Applejux.
