Jack Revill was a beloved figure in the electronic music world, having made a significant impact both behind the decks and through his pioneering work at the Numbers label, which he co-founded. Born and raised in Glasgow, Jackmaster’s love for music began early, working at the renowned Rubadub record store from the age of 14. His career quickly took off as he landed a residency at the Monox club by the age of 17, setting the stage for his rise as one of the most respected DJs of his generation. A heartfelt statement from the family reads :

"It is with profound sorrow that we confirm the untimely passing of Jack Revill, known to many as Jackmaster. Jack tragically died 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."

2014 Best DJ award winner

Jackmaster’s high-energy sets and boundary-pushing creativity saw him win the Breakthrough DJ Award at DJ Mag’s Best Of British Awards in 2010, followed by the prestigious Best DJ award in 2014. He graced the cover of DJ Mag in 2017, solidifying his place as a major influence in the electronic music scene. Jackmaster’s blend of genres and exceptional skill on the decks earned him a devoted fanbase and admiration from peers across the globe.

Tastemaker & Talent finder

The Numbers label, which Jackmaster co-founded in 2010, became a platform for some of the most innovative electronic artists of the last decade, releasing early works from Jamie xx, Rustie, Randomer, and the late avant-garde pop artist SOPHIE. Jackmaster was not only a tastemaker but also a mentor to emerging talent, helping shape the future of dance music.

Earlier this year, Jackmaster had been on tour, performing at clubs and festivals across Europe, the UK, and North America. In September, he played a standout set at Hï Ibiza as part of Black Coffee and Damian Lazarus’ residency.

Jackmaster’s legacy in the electronic music world is profound, and his influence will continue to inspire future generations of artists and fans alike. His work at Numbers, his unforgettable DJ sets, and his relentless drive to push creative boundaries will be remembered as some of the finest contributions to modern dance music. The world has lost a truly pioneering figure, but his impact will live on.
