Mark Kirby

Mark’s music career began in the late 1980s DJing at early Acid House parties in the Northeast of England. He co-founded the now infamous Atlas Records store in 1995, which became one of Soho’s most influential independent specialist record stores. Simultaneously he founded experimental record label Vertical Form, which quickly became a leader in forward-thinking electronic music and is now deemed a cult label of the genre. Following this, he became head of A&R at the legendary Peacefrog Records, signing the double-platinum-selling singer/songwriter Jose Gonzalez and critically adored electronic pop outfit Little Dragon. In 2008 Mark moved into music supervision, initially specialising in commercials, branded content, fashion shows / films and trailers and then feature films and TV drama. In 2010 he launched the esteemed electro-acoustic recording company VillageGreen Recordings, an acclaimed and leading artistic platform for contemporary classical composers and electronic artists. He now operates independently as a freelance music supervisor working solely and exclusively for film and television and is considered one of the most creative, discerning and respected supervisors in the field today.

Mark's recent music supervision credits are highlighted by a string of major 2025 releases, including Netflix's Adolescence from director Philip Barantini, the latest season of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror (Netflix), and the BBC One flagship drama This City Is Ours. His recent feature film work includes the crime thriller Deep Cover (Amazon MGM Studios, 2025) and Brock Media's The Outrun (2024), starring and produced by Saoirse Ronan. His extensive television work also features the hit crime drama BODIES (Netflix, 2023); the series adaptation of Boiling Point (BBC One, 2023); acclaimed dramas The Responder (BBC, 2022) and The Salisbury Poisonings (BBC, 2020); and The Gathering (Channel 4, 2024). Forthcoming projects include It Gets Worse for Channel 4 and A24; Pierre from The Lighthouse; and both Adultery and The Dark for ITV's Poison Pen Studios, as well as ongoing collaborations with Charlie Brooker.
