De-Light brings together the cream of resident Melbournian ambient experimentalists for a night of audio-visual experiences.
Steve Law - Steve Law has been producing electronic music in Australia since the early 1980's. During that time he has gained a reputation as one of Australia's foremost electronic artists, creating and performing music in almost every sub-genre that has been spawned over the past couple of decades.
After exploring many areas of electronic experimentation with the groups Guild of Fire, Foil and various solo projects, Steve formed the techno project Zen Paradox in 1992. The debut album "Eternal Brainwave" was immediately signed to Ollie Olsen's new Psy-Harmonics label, and licensed to KK/Nova Zembla in Europe and Restless in the U.S. to critical acclaim, and was a huge success. Steve went on to release further material under the Zen Paradox banner during the nineties, backed up with extensive and successful overseas tours. He was named best live electronic act at the 2000 Australian Live Music Awards.
In the meantime, Steve Law continued to explore other areas of cutting edge music, and was awarded the inaugral ABC classic FM computer music award in 1996 for his electro-acoustic composition "Urbania". He has composed music for film, dance and various multi-media works, and has contributed to the Fringe, Next Wave, Experimenta, Electrofringe, Liquid Architecture, Articulating Space, Make it Up Club and Melbourne International Animation festivals.
Steve has collaborated with many other local and international artists, both live and in the studio, and has continued to release music on various labels around the world. He is an inspired live performer, regularly doing impromptu live improvisations with many of Melbourne's underground musicians. He is also a member of the Melbourne band Black Cab.

Sam Filmer - Sam produces some hauntingly beautiful tunes, his inspiration drawn from the world he lives in, where he comes from and the hopes he holds for the future. Over the past year since he began creating music it has really developed and grown. His exploration into different genres and bands, and his emersion into the live local Melbourne music scene has really changed his style; like the ebb and flow of the ocean. Sam idolises artists like Godspeed You!Black; but also gains great inspiration from the likes of Do Make Say Think, Star of Lid, Because of Ghosts, Broken Social Scene just to name a few. He is an avid explorer in the music world, never afraid to try out new things even if they are out of the social norm. Sam Filmer is truly something to get behind, his dream sound will send you of floating and thinking. It is a pure escape.
