Mark Shreeve is a British electronic music composer. After initially releasing his early work on cassette through the Mirage label, he went on to sign for the newly formed Jive Electro in the early 1980s,[1] and released the albums Assassin, Legion, and Crash Head.[2] His last solo album to date, Nocturne, was released in 1995. A live CD, Collide, was released in 1996 featuring his live performance at EMMA in 1994.

Shreeve has also composed scores or sections of scores for some feature films, recorded a number of library music CDs and had an instrumental re-arranged as a charting song "Touch Me" for Samantha Fox during the 1980s. He also worked briefly with Christopher Franke of Tangerine Dream and has had some technical association with producer and modular synthesiser expert Ed Buller.

In 1996, Shreeve formed the group Redshift with his brother Julian, James Goddard and Rob Jenkins. The group has recorded nine albums to date and played live in the UK and Europe including one concert at Jodrell Bank Observatory.
