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.
