City Nights 3

Late-night chillwave in mostly minor keys: deep sub-bass, soft piano and a tight half-time groove. 14 tracks of dreamy chillwave and ambient downtempo by Purrple Cat, free to play here in full, download and use with credit under CC BY 4.0.

This album isn't in the sleep sets (it's a little brighter, busier or spookier than the sets allow), but it's all here in full. Tap the moon button on the player to add a sleep timer.

The rules, in full.

City Nights 3 is free on all social media and in other projects with credit, under CC BY 4.0.

Free to use

  • All social media. YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, Facebook, X and the rest, including monetised videos, 8-hour sleep videos, sleep streams, Shorts and Reels.
  • Other projects too. Podcasts, meditation and relaxation content, games, apps, ads, client work and school projects.
  • Edit it to fit. Cut, loop, slow down 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.
