Step 1
Find the catalog
Search BeatsBackground on Songtradr and audition by album. Pink Mink, Family Ties and Lavender are good starting points for a store.
Retail
Music for retail stores that sets the tone without selling it.
Warm, unobtrusive lofi for store floors, from a single boutique to a multi-site chain. Licensed through Songtradr by a single rightsholder, so an in-store deal clears quickly.
The short answer
Can a store play Spotify or Apple Music?
Not on a personal account. Consumer streaming services are licensed for private, non-commercial listening, and a shop floor is a public space. A retailer needs a commercial license for the music customers and staff hear.
For our catalog, Songtradr issues that license for your specific use. It covers both the recording and the composition, because we own both, so there is no label or publisher to chase before the playlist can go live.
Trusted by
Licensed by Marriott and L'Oréal.
Two brothers wrote, played and recorded the whole catalog. One rightsholder on the masters and the publishing, no samples, so Songtradr can quote and clear it fast.
Why instrumental lofi works on a retail floor
- No vocals competing with staff at the counter or the fitting room.
- Mid-tempo and consistent. The catalog was mastered to one level, so a day-long playlist never jumps in energy.
- Reads as considered. Lofi signals a curated space rather than a radio left on.
- Depth for repeat visits. Nearly 500 tracks across 58 releases, so regulars are not hearing the same twenty songs.
How licensing works
Step 2
Scope the license
Songtradr quotes an in-store license against your footprint: one location or hundreds, territory and term. Multi-site retail is a standard deal type.
Step 3
Run it in every store
Play it from whatever system your stores already use. One rightsholder means the license is issued in days and the paperwork lives in one place.
Hear it first
Audition the catalog before you open a quote.
“Strictly Lofi” runs seven hours and “Beats for Streaming” ten. Put one on in the room you are scoring and see how it sits.
The usual questions
Can we license the music for hundreds of locations?
Yes. Multi-site in-store licensing is a standard Songtradr deal type. Start the quote with your location count and Songtradr will scope it.
We are one small shop. Is this for us?
Yes. A single-location license goes through the same Songtradr flow. Tell them the one address and the term you want.
Can the same brand use it in video and ads?
Yes, but that is a sync license rather than an in-store one. Ask Songtradr for both when you request the quote, or read our brand video page.
Who owns the rights?
We do. Two brothers wrote, played and recorded the whole catalog. We hold the masters and the publishing, and there are no samples, so clearance is fast.
Who already licenses BeatsBackground?
L'Oréal and Marriott, among other brands, hotel groups and agencies. All of it through Songtradr.
