# Cloud Pulse

> Cloud Pulse LLC curates and runs background music for retail, restaurants and cafes, gyms and hotels across the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Playlists are built by people from the brand's brief and reviewed for the region, each Zone has a Schedule with automatic prayer-time pauses, and head office sees every venue live in Pulse View. Contact by WhatsApp on +971 58 554 6277 or info@cloud-pulse.com.

Key facts, each traceable to Cloud Pulse's approved wording:

- Company: Cloud Pulse LLC, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Serves the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
- Heritage: roots go back to 1978, when the region's first dedicated music shop, Disc Jockey, opened.
- Service: music curated per brand, a Schedule per Zone, Playlists kept fresh and updated as the venue and the season change, two site visits included.
- Region: music pauses and resumes at prayer times automatically; playlists are checked beyond explicit content filtering for anything that conflicts with local values or the brand.
- Players: Pulse App (iOS and Android), Pulse Web (browser or Windows app), Pulse Sonos, Pulse Player (dedicated device), or the venue's existing system as a per-venue stream. Compatibility is determined by the player only. Playback continues through connectivity drops.
- Monitoring: Pulse View shows every Zone and every player live, with remote control and full history.
- Music options: commercial music (the venue pays the published tariff to a licensed collector) or royalty free music licensed directly from its rights holders for business use. Same platform, chosen per brand or per Zone.
- UAE music licensing: Ministerial Resolution 136 of 2026 is in force from 1 December 2026. Two licensed collectors, EMRA (Emirates Music Rights Association) and Music Nation. Public performance fees are set by the Ministry of Economy and Tourism and paid by the venue operator to a licensed collector, in the operator's own name, by published tariff band. Cloud Pulse is not a collecting society, never bills or remits these fees, and assists the venue with the process at no additional charge.
- Saudi Arabia: statements are territory neutral; there is no collector in KSA.
