EPM Musique is a French record label that was created in 1986 by François Dacla,[1] former president of RCA France.[2] The label specializes in Chanson and its legacy. It is also dedicated to poetry, theater, and children's music.

"EPM is a French label whose interests include classic American jazz from the '30s through '50s."[3] The label reissued earlier jazz recordings.[4][5][6] Memphis Minnie's recordings were particularly reissued.[7]

Most of its catalog is distributed by Universal Music Group.
