Unidisc Music Inc. is one of Canada’s largest independent record labels. The company has been expanding in growth and productivity since the late 1970s. The label is best known for releasing rare and hard-to-find rock, electronic, funk, soul, hip hop, jazz, reggae, latin, and a cappella music made between the mid-1960s and late 1980s on vinyl records and CDs with copies of original album sleeves and liner notes. It is the owner of the 1982–1993 Sutra Records catalogue and of several other independent New York street-oriented labels that the latter distributed. Its headquarters are located and operated out of Montreal, Quebec.

Unidisc’s main acquisition of revenue has always been by selling synch rights of the songs it owns. When the rights are purchased from its catalogue, the songs are then incorporated into mainstream entertainment through movies, t.v. shows, animations, commercials, and video games. The company's reach has tapped into major hit productions such as Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Sex in the City, Grey’s Anatomy, Bones, CSI: Miami, Dancing with the Stars, Flashdance, Fame, Studio 54, Summer of Sam, Bad Santa, Joe Dirt, Rio, Open Season, G Force, Dreyers Ice Cream, Gap, Diet Pepsi, Miller Coors, Grand Theft Auto, and many more. Unidisc Music’s publishing functions operate and deal under Unitunes (ASCAP), Lovetown Music (BMI), Socan-affiliated Blue Image, Keep on Music, Star Quality Music, and Prime Quality Music .
