Revill died on Saturday morning following ‘complications arising from an accidental head injury’.

Born in Glasgow, Revill worked at well-known record shop Rubadub in Glasgow, and went on to become the co-founder of 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 art form at the moment, I think.’
