Rising Sydney producer Blake.08 today releases his debut album From Sydney With Love via Anjunadeep, ahead of his first national headline tour of the same name, kicking off in late August. Entirely self-produced in his Sydney home studio, the 10-track album blends deep house, breakbeat, and nostalgic electronica – each track offering a snapshot of Blake’s relationship with music, identity, and the city that shaped him.

A deeply personal and musically rich body of work, From Sydney With Love spans 15 years of artistic evolution, drawing from his early roots in UKF dubstep and electro to his refined sound as a melodic house and breakbeat producer. More than just an album, it’s a sonic memoir – balancing club functionality with emotional depth, and movement with meaning.

“This album is a love letter to Sydney,” says Blake.08. “It’s where I’ve moved through so many phases of life – as a kid, as an adult, as a creative. Without Sydney – the culture, the people, my family, the beaches, the harbour – I wouldn’t be the person I am today.” That emotional lens opens with the cinematic ‘F.A.S.H Attack’, featuring rising Australian vocalist Seduna. Its title is an acronym for Fear, Anger, Sadness and Happiness – the four core emotions that form the backbone of the album’s narrative. Blake’s goal throughout was to create music that doesn’t just move the body, but shapes the mood and stirs emotion – “like a soundtrack to a chapter in someone’s life,” he explains.

From there, the album traverses a wide sonic landscape. ‘The Change of Love’ – a warm, melodic anthem full of punchy synths and euphoric release – represents the emotional investment Blake pours into relationships, while the raw yet optimistic ‘I Can’t Hold On’ (featuring UK-born, Australia-based vocalist Nathan Ball) channels burnout and self-reflection into a soaring, cathartic anthem. ‘When The Beat’s All Done’ is a nod to the electro era that first drew Blake into dance music – complete with crunchy synths, nostalgic grooves, and a vocal sample chopped from deep within a forgotten sample pack.

The playful ‘Bass In The Area’, co-produced with Brazilian duo Claxy, is built on funk-heavy basslines and seductive Portuguese vocals, blending Blake’s percussive style with Claxy’s smooth, laid-back vibe. ‘Eyes Ablaze’ reimagines Blue Foundation’s classic ‘Eyes on Fire’ – a nostalgic favourite from Blake’s youth – and offers a moody, emotional break that first caught the attention of Anjunadeep, earning a place on the label’s flagship compilation. ‘Explorations’, a dreamy and arpeggiated instrumental, is named in tribute to Anjunadeep’s annual festival in Dhërmi, Albania – a life-changing experience for Blake as both a performer and fan. Its soft, glowing synths echo the wonder of connection and the joy of discovery.

Long-time fans will recognise ‘High Fidelity’, one of the earliest Blake.08 singles released through Anjunadeep and now remastered for the album. A sentimental favourite – especially to Blake’s mum – the track encapsulates the early foundations of his sound and growth as a producer. ‘Loser’s Pick’, a collaboration with Sydney artist and close friend Gaz (Zach Garrard), provides a moment of levity and fun – a reference to their late-night gaming sessions that turned into shared creative energy in the studio. ‘Restless’, co-produced with Soschi, leans into moody rhythms and off-kilter melodies, capturing a sense of unease and creative urgency that coloured much of Blake’s writing process.

With From Sydney With Love, Blake.08 delivers not only a standout debut for Anjunadeep, but a cohesive and heartfelt statement of artistic identity. Emotional, immersive, and full of craft, this album is a defining step forward for one of Australia’s most promising electronic voices.

To bring the album to life, Blake will embark on his first headline Australian tour, kicking off in late August and running through to the end of September. Dates include stops at Chophouse in Falls Creek, New Guernica in Melbourne, Civic Underground in Sydney, Nevermind Alley in Adelaide, Black Bear Lodge in Brisbane, and Elsewhere on the Gold Coast, with more shows to be announced.

Known for his all-original live sets and immersive sonic journeys, Blake.08 is set to deliver a tour experience that captures the emotional and rhythmic depth of From Sydney With Love – a record that is at once deeply personal and universally resonant.
