Jackmaster
Jack Revill (11 January 1986 – 12 October 2024), better known as Jackmaster, was a Scottish DJ and record producer. He co-founded the Glasgow-based record label and club night Numbers as well as Wireblock, Dress 2 Sweat, Point.One Recordings, Seldom Felt and TDSR.
Revill was known for his in-depth and diverse music taste and ability to mix a multitude of different genres. Although he did work as a producer, he was primarily known for his work as a DJ, similarly to Hessle Audio's Ben UFO and Rinse FM's Oneman.
Revill was taught to DJ by his best friend Calum Morton (a.k.a. Spencer) at the age of 13 and spent much of his teenage years DJing in bars and clubs around Glasgow – by the time Revill was 17 he was a resident at Glasgow techno institution Monox and promoting his own club-nights alongside Spencer.
He began working at the prominent record shop Rubadub in Glasgow at the age of 14 where, rather than asking for money, he was paid one record per hour's work, though – after leaving school at 16 – he began working full time at Rubadub distribution. It was while working at the shop that Revill was given the nickname Jackmaster in reference to the popular term "Jackmaster" coined in the Chicago house music scene in the late 80s.
Revill adopted the alias Jackmaster as his DJ moniker in slots on local radio station Radio Magnetic with early mentor Claude Young from Detroit. At the time he had no DJ name and asked to use his birth name, but Claude and Spencer advised he used the name Jackmaster and it stuck.
Revill was awarded 'Breakthrough DJ' at DJ Magazine's Best of British Awards in 2010.
In 2011 after his Numbers label hosted a series of parties at Fabric nightclub in London, Revill was asked by the London clubbing institution to mix and curate the FabricLive.57 album. The mix was received with critical acclaim receiving 4.5 out of 5 on Resident Advisor.
Revill played at a number of clubbing institutions such as Fabric, Circo Loco at DC10, The Warehouse Project, Output, Berghain, Trouw and Sub Club, as well as festivals such as Glastonbury, Unknown, Lost Village, Dekmantel, Bestival, T in the Park and Dimensions Festival.
