In the next edition of RA and SONOS's film series, we hear how a city's music scene saved one of dance music's favourite DJs. Jack Revill says he never wants to leave Glasgow. It's the place where he's lived his entire life, and, in a sense, it's the city that saved him. When he was 14, Jack suffered a personal tragedy that set him on a destructive path. He rarely attended school, and, like a lot of young people in the city, drugs increasingly became a part of his world. Jack's life was chaotic, but he knew he wanted to become involved in music, and so he took a work experience placement with Rubadub, the Glasgow record shop and distribution centre. "He was the worst boy we've ever had," Wilba, one of Rubadub's founders, told us with a smile. Rubadub became Jack's "second home," and the musical education he received there gave him the confidence and knowledge to pursue a career in music. These days Jack is, of course, one of dance music's most successful DJs, and, as a record label boss and promoter, a famous ambassador for Glasgow's scene. For our next instalment of ORIGINS, Jack introduced us to the people and places that have been so vital in shaping his musical and personal identity.
