Energy on a schedule
Volume and tempo build as the night does. The 5pm crowd gets conversation-friendly warmth; by 9pm the room is moving. It's automatic, and it's deliberate.
Bars & pubs
Bar music that builds the night, round by round
The difference between a quiet Tuesday and a great one is often atmosphere. We programme your sound to climb through the evening, from lunchtime ease to after-work warmth to full-energy peak, without anyone behind the bar touching a thing.
Why it matters
More than filling the silence
Longer stays, better tills
Music tempo demonstrably shifts drinking pace and dwell time. Atmosphere is a revenue lever, so treat it like one.
Your bar, your identity
Craft-beer taproom, sports bar, cocktail lounge: curation matched to your crowd, not a generic "pub playlist" shared with every chain in town.
Staff stay pouring
No one's phone on the aux. Staff get a simple app for skips and volume when needed; the programme handles the rest.
Licensing
Music licensing for bars and pubs
Pubs and bars need TheMusicLicence for recorded music, with tariffs based on audible area and usage. Consumer streaming services aren't licensed for it, whatever the speakers cost. Our library is cleared for commercial use with full play-out logging, and we'll help you understand exactly what your venue owes and to whom.
What you get
Six things that matter in bars & pubs
Daypart programming
Lunch, afternoon, evening and peak each get their own energy, and transitions are gradual rather than jarring.
Genre depth
From classic rock to house to indie: playlists with real depth, so regulars don't hear the same twenty songs weekly.
Instant override
Big match finished? Kill the energy or lift it in two taps from behind the bar.
Multi-room zoning
Front bar, dining room, garden and function room can all run different programmes at once.
Offline playback
Pub Wi-Fi is what it is. The music never depends on it.
Late-licence pacing
Programming that carries energy to close and winds down on cue, matching your licence hours.
Questions
Frequently asked
Can we change the vibe instantly if the room shifts?
Yes, the staff app gives instant control: swap programme, adjust volume or skip a track in seconds, then let the schedule take over again.
Does the music work in the beer garden too?
Yes, outdoor areas run as their own zone with independent volume and, if you like, a different programme entirely from the main bar.
What about live sport?
Zones can be muted or ducked individually while the match plays, and brought back with one tap at full time, with no scrambling behind the bar.
