Multitone Records, originally Savera Investments, was a British record label founded by Pran Gohil in 1978. Pran was formerly Regional Head of Polygram, Asia Pacific based in the Netherlands and also Executive Chairman of Spartan Records, London. Multitone Records specialized in Bhangra (music), bhangra style music. The style itself was commercialized by Multitone Records, which is considered to be the pioneer of British Bhangra and the label grew to become the "largest Asian record label in the world" during its lifetime under Managing Director Jitesh Gohil. In 1992, the company entered into a joint venture with Bertelsmann Music Group, BMG in order to spread its label throughout Europe and internationally. Multitone's artists formed the "who's who" of the British bhangra scene including The Safri Boyz, DCS, XLNC, Sasha, Amar, Apna Sangeet, Alaap, Chirag Pehchan and many more.

Apna Sangeet
Apna Sangeet were a British Asian Bhangra band from Birmingham, England. The group was formed in 1984 by six Birmingham musicians.

By 1991 they were platinum disc holders, and held the title of UK Asian Pop Award for Best Asian Band. By 1994, the group had released nine albums and sold more than 2,000,000 records, and were awarded Best Bhangra Band by Movie International Magazine. The Stage in 1995 described the group as a "superband...who are virtually unknown to non-Asians". In 2009, the band reunited for one charity show. They also reformed for the 2014 Vaisakhi celebrations in Trafalgar Square Trafalgar Square ( ) is a public square in the City of Westminster in Central London.

They have released music in both English and Punjabi. The lead singer was Surj Sahota, and the music director/producer was Mukhtar Sahota. The band's music is very different from conventional Punjabi music, combining the Bhangra genre with pop, house, reggae and rock, focusing on vocal styles and sounds. This transfusion occurred during the apex of Bhangra Music in the 1980s and 1990s when there was an abundance of Live British Asian Music across the United Kingdom; and when British Asian Music sought to be recognised by the mainstream music industry. The Sahotas were at the forefront of seeking this recognition, performing live on Cilla Black's '' Surprise, Surprise'', '' Blue Peter'', '' 8:15 from Manchester'' and '' Eggs 'n' Baker''.
