Multiverse Music is a British music publisher directed by James Ginzburg that was founded in 2004 to showcase the work of contemporary electronic artists involved with and operating from their Bristol based studio.

Currently Multiverse's output revolves around work produced by Paul Jebanasam, Roly Porter and Emptyset. Projects have included scores for feature films such as Roly Porter's original score for "In Fear",[1] installations such as emptyset's Tate Britain commissioned "Trawsfynydd",[2] and the modern classical output of the Multiverse record label "Subtext" such as Paul Jebanasam's 2013 LP "Rites".[3]

From 2004 to 2008, Multiverse was responsible for seminal releases from artists such as Pinch, 2562, Vex'd, Skream, Emptyset, Joker and Pinch's Tectonic (one of the first Dubstep labels) is now recognised as having played a significant role in the genres worldwide growth and success.[4][5][6]

In 2009 the company acquired a new studio space in Clifton, Bristol's film and media district to serve as the main production facility for the various audio-visual and recording projects of their artists. In September 2017 Youth & Power released on Other/other, a new label that falls under the umbrella of Multiverse Music.[7]
