Jackmaster is a name which has really risen to the forefront of house and techno over the past couple of years. Helped by his genuine and personable approach to social media, and his fucking quality DJ sets, the Scot really has taken over.

We’ve caught this man a couple of times, most memorably (for us anyway) at Pygmalion a couple years back when he went B2B with his Irish brother, Krystal Klear.  Each time has been different. Jackmaster does not adhere to the rule book and plays what he wants, when he wants. Expect plenty of this, and more, come Sunday at Forbidden Fruit.

Grab your tickets here and check out what Jackmaster had to say about Kebabs below 🙂

Whats the one part you enjoy most about a kebab?

Impossible to answer this, as a good kebab is the sum of it’s parts. But you gotta get the sauce right. Bad sauce that’s too sweet can ruin the whole thing.

Everybody knows well that you & Jasper like to party. What was the weirdest situation you’s have gotten into?

Ehhhh. Once time drunk we bought kilts and walked around Glasgow city centre steaming.

Who can sink more pints – Jasper or Krystal Klear?

Krystal Klear.

Would you rather,  listen to Avicii – Levels or Martin Garrix – Animals for 24 hrs straight?

I have nothing against EDM so either to be honest. Can you make me a megamix of the two?

What’s the one thing that would stop you from partying and why?

Taking a girl up the road.

Did school have an effect on your career?

Yeah. It made me more determined to prove all the teachers wrong who told me I wouldn’t amount to anything. Fuck them. Look who’s laughing now. But, I did learn to play cello at school which has definitely helped me in my musical endeavours.

Would you rather fight 1 horse-sized duck, or 100 duck-sized horses? 

100 duck sized horsed. You just kick fun out of them.

What is one mistake you see a lot of up and coming DJs making?

What a lot of new DJs do is either use the sync button, or keep their tracks in time by watching their laptop screens and matching up the transients on the waveforms. DJing is an audio art, not a visual art. So they’re getting it all wrong.

Where do you think the scene is headed? Do you feel it is moving in a positive direction?

To be honest i think the house and techno scene is gonna burst soon. I mean, how much bigger can it get?

If you could eternally be stuck in one year’s music scene, which year would it be? 

1986. The year I was born and arguably the birth of house music.

Which button do you prefer to press the most?

The one that controls the CO2 cannon at El Row.

How will Ireland do in the Euros?

Hopefully they win it, as that’s who i’m supporting this year. I’m going to their first game vs. Sweden in June.

What one tune should we come to hear you and you alone, play at Forbidden Fruit?

Jasper’s new track. I’m the only one who has it and it goes off.

Catch Jackmaster on Sunday at the Undergrowth stage alongside Maya Jane Coles, George Fitzgerald & Groove Armada. Grab your tickets HERE.
