The Shanghai Restoration Project


SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *pause for breath*OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DOPE!!!
"The Shanghai Restoration Project is a contemporary electronic music band formed by Chinese-American producer Dave Liang. The group's first eponymous release, inspired by the Shanghai jazz bands of the 1930s, combines traditional Chinese instruments with modern hip-hop and electronica. The release gained recognition globally, rising to the top 10 in several electronic charts, including Amazon, iTunes, and MSN Music. The first track from the debut album, "Introduction (1936)," was selected as the theme song for a worldwide TV advertising campaign for Kenzo Parfums (a division of Louis Vuitton) in early 2007. Other tracks have been featured in promotional campaigns for Microsoft, Rhapsody, TiVo, and Sandisk. In 2007, SRP partnered with China Records (the Chinese government's record label) to release Remixed and Restored, a project remixing select classic Chinese hits from 1930s Shanghai. The group is currently signed to Warner Music's Independent Label Group."*

That video is dope for it's beat, not so much for the singing, but I'm soooo feeling the beat and the instrumentation.
