Slush Puppy is the solulu behind your fav delulu songs #309

This week on Delulu with Ryan Lu, Ryan sits down with SLUSH PUPPY, an iconic producer-songwriter whose work spans from K-pop to internet pop moments you’ve been obsessed with. He get into working with CORTIS and why that experience felt “like the least K-pop thing” they’ve done—fully hands-on, collaborative, and creatively involved. He also talks about producing early records like “Fashion” and “What You Want,” the latter becoming the group’s first Spotify single, and what it means to actually build records from the ground up instead of just chasing placements. The conversation dives into spontaneous, high-impact moments too like linking with Lara Raj from KATSEYE to create the “Gnarly” remix in a single night, turning a text into a finished record the team immediately loved. Ryan and his guest also unpack their close creative relationship with Snow Wife, from naming the project to organically building Bodyology II together, and the full-circle journey of meeting Magdalene and creating “DJesus,” which led to a year-long collaboration and even a Joshua Tree writing camp. It’s an inside look at building artist worlds, trusting creative chemistry, and why the best work happens when you go all in with the right people.

Ellise is back with her Delulu Confessional #308

Ellise is back on the pod and it honestly feels like catching up with a friend who has a lot to say. We get into her delulu mindset (the good, the bad, the slightly unhinged), what being on tour actually felt like behind the scenes, and how all of it fed into her new EP Bedroom Confessional. It’s raw, it’s intimate, and it feels like flipping through her diary at 2am. She opens up about growth, spirals, and what it means to turn your real life into art without holding back. We also get into the conversation everyone’s been having: the Melanie Martinez comparison allegations. Ellise addresses it head-on, clears the air, and talks about originality & her inspiration. It’s honest, a little chaotic, and exactly the kind of episode you don’t want to miss! duh

Kyra Machida's Delulu ritual #307

Kyra Machida is on Delulu and we get into everything from growing up in rural Japan to basically being thrown into the world of pop training in Asia and what that actually looks like behind the scenes. She talks about the pressure, the discipline, and how it shaped her as an artist, plus how she found her own voice through it all. We also get into her music and her alter ego Georgina (we love her hehehehe) We talk about her new single “Humiliation Ritual,” the darker energy she’s leaning into right now, and the world she’s building with her upcoming music. There’s also a whole witchy/spiritual side to her that naturally we had to get into. duhhh.
