PERFORMANCE, IDENTITY, AND VISIBILITY
LOVEFOXY´s
exercises in track selection or what people would just call “parties”; they’re full-body experiences, complete with heels, sweat, dancing on speakers, and sometimes leaping into the crowd.
“I am naturally someone with a lot of energy and having a stage and outlet for that as LOVEFOXY to DJ, it just really makes sense for what I want to give and achieve in each night or set I play. Don’t get me wrong, it can be tiring to perform fully all the time, so that varies in each space I step into. It’s also ok to let the music do its thing if that’s what the night needs. We do it for the people.”
That fearlessness, however, comes with its own shadows. As a female POC artist, LOVEFOXY navigates scrutiny and objectification that often overs- hadows her artistry. She admits the- se experiences can be painful, but her answer is to reclaim them through her music.
“Being objectified is something very familiar to me. As Fania, a female POC born and raised in Berlin, it’s something I need to deal with before pouring it into my music. Most of the time, these ex- periences are more painful than joyous. I work on that through my LOVEFOXY persona, which I’ve created to maintain a distance from my private self. I can use that energy and turn it into statements such as ‘On Da Table’ or ‘Just Not Cute’. Both tracks read as fun party moments but have messaging in there.”
This balance between vulnerability and defiance is what gives LOVEFOXY her edge. She doesn’t just take space, she creates it. “Totally both, I am planning to create hubs and partner with talent who I
of the time, they are my peers too. I have to create my own lane, identity, and voice with what I’m doing. I hope that my music and presence speak to others who want to create and be more out there, while knowing and being ok with the fact that they can’t control how others will react.”
ROOTS AND VISION
LOVEFOXY’s manifesto is anchored in heritage. Her mother, who ran Berlin’s legendary Tempelhof club, remains a central influence, passing down not only records but also the entrepreneu- rial courage to carve out her own spa- ce.

“My mom has always been my cheerlea- der and a very entrepreneurial female figure.
to build my legacy with the values I was taught. I don’t feel the need to break away from it because it doesn’t overshadow anything I’m doing. I’m consciously paving the way to be myself and, most importantly, to have fun with it all.”
Those foundations were tested and sharpened through early immersion in nightlife. At 14, she was sneaking into Berghain. By her teens, she was working as a bouncer at Chalet.
“Berlin’s club culture is something I really value. It showed me a lot, the good and the bad. Back then, we didn’t fully understand everything, but we felt a certain energy and freedom that came with going out. Those nights gave me the confidence I still carry to do and be whoever I want, basically.”
Now, standing at the centre of her breakthrough years, LOVEFOXY admits the pace is dizzying. “It never stops. I wish it would sometimes, though, so that I could celebrate these milestones more. Being in the middle of it, you don’t always grasp what just happened. Most of the time, I need to carve out time to reflect. But I’m here for all of it.”
Her bigger vision is as clear as her present momentum. She wants to stay rooted in Chicago and Detroit house traditions while building a space where
empowerment thrive. “I want to be remembered as someone who never lost track of that fierce manifesto. As an artist, you’re often presented with opportunities that look lucrative but won’t help you achieve your goals. I will always try to balance that and let LOVEFOXY be whoever she wants to be. At the end of the day, it’s about using your artistry as a story you want to tell.”

The tracks themselves function as narratives in a larger performative project. Pieces such as On Da Table and Just Not Cute operate not only as club-ready compositions but also as embodiments of sass, humour, and embodied energy. LOVEFOXY’s decision to incorporate her
voice within these tracks collapses the distance between DJ, producer, and performer, reinforcing an aesthetic of immediacy and self-insertion. In doing so, she challenges the historic invisibility often imposed on women and POC in electronic music, recasting her own body and voice as both medium and message.

Looking ahead, LOVEFOXY’s articu- lation of her goals situates her in a broader discourse of cultural respon- sibility. She envisions her artistry not only as a personal expression but also as a potential hub for collaboration, community, and underrepresented voices. By

In this sense, LOVEFOXY’s work can be read as both an individual artistic journey and a contribution to the ongoing redefinition of house music’s cultural politics, a reminder that the dancefloor remains as much a site of identity and representation as it is of rhythm and release.
