Dave Liang

After months of searching, we've managed to pin him down. Dave Liang talks music, life and love with Squat's Shereen Low

"My goal is to make a living, not be in tabloids"
Dave Liang is rather elusive. I first heard of his music in UK clubs from a DJ friend, who was impressed by two of his earlier tracks – "Wait For Me" and "Pump Them Brakes".

It struck me that he would be an interesting interview for Squat, so I began researching. A Google search simply turned up with non-impressive results relating to hundreds of other Chinese guys with the same name.

Dave, who had formerly been listed as David, now goes by the name of Shanghai Restoration Project rather than his own name when it comes to music.
