Coffee shop background music

A fuller, steady mid-tempo groove that holds a busy room together: enough body to sit over conversation and clinking cups, never anything that jumps out. Free under CC BY 4.0: dreamy chillwave and ambient downtempo by Purrple Cat, every track in full with a free MP3.

Tips for this set

  • Steady beats sit under conversation better than quiet, sparse tracks, which leave gaps that chatter fills.
  • Aim for a volume where two people at a table can talk without leaning in.
  • If the room is loud, nudge the volume, not the energy.

Why these tracks

Every Purrple Cat track was measured for tempo, loudness, brightness and steadiness. The midday crowd set scores all 343 of them against its own rules, takes no more than 4 from any one release, leaves out the spooky albums and orders the picks so each track flows into a neighbour with a similar tempo and feel: 1 h 48 min of music before it loops.

Free to use, with credit.

Playing this set in your café or putting it under a video? It's all free under CC BY 4.0.

Free to take away

  • All social media. YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, Facebook, X and the rest, including monetised videos, café vlogs, study streams, Shorts and Reels.
  • In your café. Background music in coffee shops, restaurants, bakeries, shops and offices, with a credit your customers can see.
  • Other projects too. Podcasts, games, apps, ads, client work and school projects.
  • Edit it to fit. Cut, loop or fade tracks, and say it's edited in the credit.
  • Credit Purrple Cat. “Music: Purrple Cat (purrplecat.com), licensed under CC BY 4.0”.

Never

  • Never re-upload or release it on streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer or Tidal, through a distributor or any other route.
  • Never release remixes, samples or covers of it on streaming services either.
  • Never register it in Content ID or claim other people's videos with it.
  • Never pass it off as your own or sell the tracks as they are.

Why so strict about streaming? Re-uploads, remixes, samples and covers on Spotify, Apple Music and other services get fingerprinted, and then false Content ID claims hit everyone who uses the music properly. Purrple Cat Self Releases have no Content ID, so there's nothing to clear when you use them as intended.
