The Scottish DJ and producer Jack Revill, known to many as Jackmaster, has died aged 38, his family has announced.
Revill died in Ibiza on Saturday morning after “complications arising from an accidental head injury”, his family said.
A statement said: “It is with profound sorrow that we confirm the untimely passing of Jack Revill, known to many as Jackmaster.
“Jack tragically died in Ibiza on the morning of October 12, following complications arising from an accidental head injury.
“His family – Kate, Sean and Johnny – are utterly heartbroken.
“While deeply touched by the overwhelming support from friends, colleagues, and fans, the family kindly requests privacy as they navigate the immense grief of this devastating loss.”
Born in Glasgow, Revill worked at the 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 am so grateful for my fans, but I got into music because I love dancing. It’s a lost art form at the moment, I think.”
The 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”.
