Earlier work combined Chinese instrumentation with hip-hop as Liang had done some producing within P. Diddy\u2019s Bad Boy Label. Shanghai Restoration Project first came to the public\u2019s attention during the\u00a02008 Olympics\u00a0in\u00a0Beijing\u00a0when the BBC featured tracks from their debut album as theme music during their broadcast coverage.<\/p>\n<p>In 2011 Liang met\u00a0Sun Yunfan, a multi-disciplinary artist who grew up in China, and they began working together &#8211; initially on album covers and music videos and later on songwriting and production. Together their influences have expanded to include the likes of Gil Gilberto, Orchestra Baobab, Erik Satie, Mahmoud Ahmed, SCSI-9, Bullion and the late Susumu Yokota.\u00a0\u00a0Last year they co-wrote and produced the album \u2018Life Elsewhere\u2019 with Chinese jazz singer Zhang Le, which was well received in China and nominated for several national awards. The forthcoming R.U.R. album is the first record the two have officially released together as Shanghai Restoration Project.<\/p>\n<p>They have now been streamed over 20 million times to date, been featured on the BBC, NPR, The New York Times, Last Call with Carson Daly and they\u2019ve performed over 100 live shows around the world in places such as\u00a0NYC, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Moscow,\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Ya4f7MIZlAU\">The Great Wall of China<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Shanghai Restoration Project are set to announce further live shows later this year to coincide with the release of the new album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Brooklyn based electronic duo,\u00a0Shanghai Restoration Project (SRP)\u00a0have released a new single.\u00a0Spooky Party, recorded and self-produced in New York, will be digitally available at all major <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=27237\" title=\"Shanghai Restoration Project share new track &#8216;Spooky Party&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27277,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[13,28,30],"tags":[6812,6810,6811],"class_list":["post-27237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-electronic-music","category-music","category-new-release","tag-r-u-r","tag-shanghai-restoration-project","tag-spooky-party"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/SRP-Press-Shot-1.jpg?fit=3800%2C2533&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-75j","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":35158,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=35158","url_meta":{"origin":27237,"position":0},"title":"Shanghai Restoration Project announce new album \u2018Brave New World Symphony\u2019","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"October 31, 2020","format":false,"excerpt":"Shanghai Restoration Project have announced that their new album \u2018Brand New World Symphony\u2019 will be out on December 11th\u00a0via Undercover Culture Music.
