US-based electronic producers Tim Arndt (Near The Parenthesis) and Medard Fischer (Arc Lab) formed Down Review in 2007. They 'met' online for the first time through their debut label, Toronto-based MMBP, and developed immediate respect and admiration for each other's work.
Down Review's initial collaboration was featured on Near the Parenthesis' album Of Soft Construction (n5MD, 2007). Their work on the track 'Sitting in a Room' was clearly a departure from the typical NTP aesthetic, situating Medard's drum-programming wizardry and signature basslines beneath Arndt's more ethereal creations. The result was arguably the album's stand-out track, which "rather anomalously adds bass-heavy funkiness to the sparkling flow" (Textura).
In addition to releasing their debut EP From Here, For Anyone through Hidden Shoal (11th August, 2009), Down Review have submitted two tracks to the Sutemos net-label, one a remix of Leon Somov's 'Mano' (featuring Jazzu), and a new track for the upcoming compilation Intelligent Toys 6.
