About Purr FM
An online station for one artist: Purrple Cat, on five channels, around the clock.
The music
Purrple Cat is a solo lofi project that started in December 2018. Produced 500+ songs with 500+ million streams. Featured in Disney, League of Legends & Rocket League.
Every song on Purr FM is a Purrple Cat Self Release. Each one links to its numbered page on purr.to, the full Purrple Cat song database.
How the schedule works
Each channel has eight three-hour shows a day. The running order of each show is worked out in your browser from your local date, so it’s the same for everyone in your time zone and changes every day. When you tune in, you join the show where it is right now. Nothing is tracked and nothing is stored on a server.
