Juliet Fox on Motherhood and Music: “I Want Women to Feel Encouraged and See It’s Possible to Do Both”

1 day ago 6

Between her new EP series, podcast launch, and motherhood, Juliet Fox reflects on her creative vision and how this new chapter has reshaped her approach to everything.

At a moment when female electronic music artists are increasingly making their mark on the scene, Juliet Fox stands among techno’s most commanding voices. The Australian-born, Berlin-based artist brings an uncompromising energy to every performance, unapologetic in both her sonic identity and what she demands from the dancefloor. Her sound makes it abundantly clear. Rooted in the momentum of raw ’90s groove, her techno productions are bold, relentless, and built for impact. She delivers a hard-edged force with an industrial sheen that hits like a freight train, the kind that guarantees a sweaty, euphoric night out you will not forget.

From major festivals like Tomorrowland, Awakenings, and Junction 2 to prominent venues such as Amnesia, Fabric London, and DC10 Ibiza, Juliet Fox has firmly planted her flag on the global techno circuit. Over the past year, she has also stepped into motherhood for the first time, a milestone that has only strengthened her conviction and sharpened her artistic focus. Rather than slow her down, this new chapter has refined her creative vision.

That evolution is fully realized in her latest Technopatra series, a new project unfolding across six forthcoming singles. The first track, “Underground Queen,” arrived as a declaration of independence and a statement of intent. The hypnotic, gritty production pairs thundering drumbeats and commanding vocals, packed with empowering lyrics, keeping listeners locked in from start to finish.

Alongside her music, Juliet Fox has also launched her brand-new podcast, The Mother Frequency. The first episode features Melbourne-based DJ Sunshine, one of Revolver’s residents and a long-time friend. Their conversation goes deep as they move through topics of motherhood, navigating the music industry, and what it means to be a female electronic music artist today.

Between the stage, the studio, the podcast booth, and motherhood, we sat down with Juliet Fox to chat about the evolution of electronic music, her creative vision, and how motherhood has reshaped everything. Read on to learn more about the rising techno artist.

Hi Juliet, thanks for chatting with us today. Let’s start with motherhood. Motherhood is often framed as a pause point in creative careers, but your return feels more like an evolution. How did becoming a mother reshape the way you see yourself as an artist?

It’s made me a better person in so many ways, how I see myself, how I approach my work, and especially how I use my time. I’m more focused now, more efficient, and more intentional with everything I do. It’s pushed me to redefine myself as an artist, from how I make music creatively to how I perform. More than anything, it’s strengthened my drive to become the best version of myself, both as a mother and as an artist.

What surprised you most about the emotional or creative shifts that came after having your first child?

It took me a little time to return to a full creative flow. Just before Cosmo was born, I made a track using his heartbeat. I poured everything into it emotionally and had this ready to release a few weeks after he came into this world. After he arrived, I really wanted to be present and fully immersed in that newborn bubble. I think creativity requires you to feel grounded in yourself, and it took me a bit to find that again. But now I feel more aligned than ever, I’m clear on what I want, and ideas come to me faster than they used to; I have a newborn energy that’s driving me.

There’s still a quiet stigma surrounding women in electronic music who choose motherhood. Did you feel any pressure, spoken or unspoken, about how this life change might affect your career?

Definitely. At the beginning, I was actually quite nervous to tell people in the industry, even people who worked on my team. There’s that fear that opportunities might change, that you’ll be seen differently, or that your personal life might be seen as a limitation. A lot of people were supportive, but that underlying pressure is still there. It’s a big part of why I want to open up these conversations and create space for other women to show that it is possible, and that support matters.

In your new music, you’ve described your Technopatra series as a reflection of independence, strength, and newfound creativity. Even the name itself feels symbolic, like a fusion of power, femininity, and transformation. How did the concept of Technopatra first come to life?

It actually started quite organically; people kept telling me I looked like Cleopatra, even my mum used to say I looked Egyptian when I was a kid. That sparked something, and I began imagining this fusion of worlds, combining power and femininity into a new identity. From there, it grew into something bigger: a visual and musical concept, a new aesthetic, and eventually a full series that I wanted to develop and showcase throughout the whole year.

With six singles set to roll out as part of the series, beginning with “Underground Queen,” how does each track contribute to telling the story of this transformation?

Every track is unique and quite different from the last. I’m using my voice on all of them, which is something I really wanted to do again. It progresses and reveals different identities, even across different musical styles. The final track is called ‘Ascend’, reaching that point of completion.

Each track represents a different layer of that journey. They’re all quite distinct from one another, and I’ve been using my voice throughout, which was really important to me as I stepped back into something I hadn’t done for a while. For those who’ve followed my work over the years, they’ll know my vocals became a kind of signature, something I also did through collaborations with other artists. The series moves through different energies, identities, and even styles. The final track, Ascend, represents that moment of arrival, a sense of completion and evolution.

Alongside the music, you’re also launching your new podcast, The Mother Frequency, which opens up space for conversations that don’t often happen publicly, especially around motherhood, creativity, and life in between touring. What kind of stories or perspectives are you most excited to amplify through the podcast?

I want to share real, relatable stories that other women in the industry can genuinely connect with, both my own and those of my guests. It’s about opening up honest conversations around what it’s actually like, the challenges, the balance, the possibilities. I want it to feel intimate, like you’re sitting in the room with us. Most importantly, I want women to feel encouraged and see that it is possible to do both.

With new music, touring, your podcast, running your label, and motherhood all happening at once, what does a typical day actually look like for you right now?

It’s definitely very full, a lot of go, go, go. I wake up much earlier now, and I’m far more structured with my time. I always start the day focusing on my son and being there for him the moment he wakes up. Some play time, movement, and breakfast as a family. I try to fit as much work as possible into his nap times, or when he goes to sleep at night, I will be up late working. Whether it’s music, the label, or the podcast, I stay really focused. It’s a lot to balance, but it all feeds into each other and gives me that extra energy I need.

And as this new era continues to unfold, what excites you most about the future, both as an artist and as a mother?

I’m forever developing and changing as both a mother and an artist. Day by day, you can learn and create so much. I want these two worlds to run together, and most importantly, I want to keep doing this and be successful, whatever level that looks like. I want to show Cosmo that he can come on stage with me or into the studio, and that’s my motivation to keep going.

I feel like I’m constantly evolving in both roles. Every day there’s something new to learn, something new to create. What excites me most is bringing those two worlds together, not separating them, but allowing them to grow alongside each other. I want to keep building, keep creating, and keep pushing forward, whatever success looks like at each stage. And most importantly, I want to show Cosmo that he can be part of it all when he’s old enough to come on stage with me, making music in the studio or mixing. That’s my motivation to keep going.
