STV NewsA funeral service is to be held for Scottish DJ Jack Revill, known as Jackmaster, following his death aged 38.
Jack Revill died in Ibiza on Saturday October 12 following “complications arising from an accidental head injury”.
Mourners have been invited to attend the service at Clydebank Crematorium on Thursday November 7.
Jack’s brother Sean made the announcement on X.
Born in Glasgow, Revill worked at well-known record shop Rubadub in Glasgow, and went on to become the co-founder of the record label Numbers.
He had recently released the single Nitro, featuring Kid Enigma, telling Electronic Groove music magazine: “It was about feeling hyped and inspired in the club.
“Sadly, those moments are rare now. Blame the phones and people who don’t dance, I think.
“I am so grateful for my fans, but I got into music because I love dancing. It’s a lost artform at the moment, I think.”
Dance magazine Resident Advisor described Revill as a “mercurial DJ” who “left a substantial mark on dance music.”
English singer Example described Revill as “Down to earth. Brutally honest. Hilarious. Loyal. Blunt. Passionate. Annoyingly stylish. Insanely gifted. Energised a room whether on the decks or off them.
“We had some epic nights together Jacky Boy. You’ll be missed.”
Electronic duo Disclosure were among those paying tribute, writing on Instagram: “Can’t believe this. Heart broken. Thank you for all the amazing memories & inspiration Jack. This is just awful awful awful.”
A post from the official Instagram account of DU duo CamelPhat on Revill’s Instagram page said: “Can’t believe what I’m reading… in an industry full of Ego you were hands down one of the nicest fellas we ever met along the way. Our thoughts are with family & friends. RIP my friend x.”
