Scottish DJ and producer Jackmaster has died aged 38 after suffering a head injury, his family has said.

The musician, whose real name was Jack Revill, died in Ibiza on Saturday morning following complications arising from the accidental injury, according to a statement posted on his Instagram page.

“It is with profound sorrow that we confirm the untimely passing of Jack Revill, known to many as Jackmaster,” his family said, adding they were “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,” they said.

The Glasgow-born DJ, who was the co-founder of the record label Numbers, recently released the single Nitro, featuring Kid Enigma.

He told 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”.
