HOWARD WILLIAMS - DJ

In-house distributor for Honest Jon's Records and founder of Ethbo - a label whose roster include a release by Mike Cooper; Killing Melody, a collection of 70s Japanese gangster soundtracks, and the crazed garage-rockabilly of Dean Carter. He also compiled the retrospective album of Japanese guitar pioneer, Takeshi Terauchi, for Ace Records and a follow-up Nippon Rock'n'Roll compilation is coming out soon, also on Ace.

An avid collector of old Japanese records, he has played at Life Bar, for Julian Opie, at tsunami charity events and, more recently, the monthly Japanica event at Cafe OTO. His collection of scratchy old Japanese vinyl includes everything from folk sounds, jazz, kayoukyoku (Japanese popular), psychedelia, beat and boogie - all made in Japan.
