Jackmaster

Jack Revill, better known as Jackmaster (born 11 January 1986), is a Scottish DJ from Glasgow. He is a co-founder of the record label and club night Numbers as well as Wireblock, Dress 2 Sweat and Point.One Recordings.

Revill has set up a number of record labels; the first of which, Point.One Recordings, was an electro label set up in 2006 with the intention to release the first works by Warp Records recording artist Rustie under the Voltaic alias. Following this Revill founded Dress 2 Sweat in 2007, a vinyl label that focused predominantly on Baltimore club and various other strains of Ghetto Music emerging from the United States.

The Numbers record label was formed in 2010 with the combining of the three labels, Wireblock, Dress 2 Sweat and Stuffrecords. Wireblock being run by Revill and brothers Calum and Neil Morton; Dress 2 Sweat run by Jack Revill alone; and Stuffrecords by Richard Chater. The first release by Numbers was "If U Want Me" by Deadboy, and it has since released records by Jamie xx, Mosca, Redinho and Sophie.

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 FabricLive.57. The mix was received with critical acclaim receiving 4.5 out of 5 on Resident Advisor.

In 2013 Numbers, along with Dedbeat, started a weekender festival called 'Pleasure Principle’.

In 2014 Jack became the third dj to jab 15 birds. He curated a diverse lineup of acts that included Moodymann, Joy Orbison, Tale Of Us, Dance Mania and DJ Slimzee.

In December 2014 Revill was voted 'Best DJ' in the DJ Magazine Best of British Awards as well as coming 11th in Resident Advisor' s prestigious 'Top 100 DJs of 2014' poll, a poll where he came 5th and 2nd in the following years. He also embarked upon a highly prestigious residency slot on BBC Radio 1 in August of the same year, joining other DJs such as Grimes, James Blake and Bonobo.

In November 2016 Revill was awarded the SSE Scottish Music Awards Sub Club Electronic Music Award. Making him the first winner of the new category within the historic and prestigious Scottish Music Awards. His victory came as part of an event organised to raise funds for Scotland's only music therapy charity, Nordoff Robbins.

In April 2017 Revill was awarded the Tennents Golden Can Award for Contributions to Scottish Culture, placing him beside Scottish legends such as author Irvine Welsh, singer Biffy Clyro and footballer Andy Robertson.

Revill was awarded ‘Breakthrough DJ’ at DJ Magazine' s Best Of British Awards in 2010.

Revill was the subject of controversy in August 2018, after he overdosed on GHB and subsequently attempted to "kiss and grab people against their will" at Love Saves The Day Festival in Bristol.

He is renowned for his in-depth and diverse music taste and ability to mix a multitude of different genres. He is one of a few examples of a DJ known primarily as a DJ (rather than a producer), alongside Hessle Audio’s Ben UFO and Rinse FM's Oneman.

A year later, Revill and good friend Calum Morton, along with Calum’s brother Neil, formed Wireblock records which saw releases from Hudson Mohawke and Rustie in the early stages of their career before they signed to Warp Records, as well as personal heroes such a Rome's Lory D.

In early 2020, Revill raised funds and awareness for Glaswegian charity Brothers in Arms through media work, fundraising and the creation and giveaway of a unique mix. The charity ensure that people (predominantly although not exclusively men) have access to completely free psychologists through text message. The campaign was considered a success after it saw downloads and donations sore.
