Genre-fluid artist and gold-certified producer Slush Puppy returns with his explosive new single “Killin Butterflies,” out now via MDDN Records and 10K Projects. Fusing elements of EDM, trap, grunge, and emo, the track continues his trajectory as one of contemporary music’s most versatile and boundary-pushing creators.
Co-written with Jbach (known for work with ENHYPEN and PinkPantheress), Faangs (associated with Alan Walker), and co-produced alongside Riley Aki (ADÉLA), “Killin Butterflies” is built as a high-intensity, emotionally charged anthem that thrives in dual environments—equally suited for festival stages, underground dance floors, and chaotic live crowds.
At its core, the single explores the emotional volatility of a toxic relationship, capturing the tension between desire and self-destruction. Its sonic palette reflects that instability, blending aggressive percussion, distorted textures, and melodic fragments that collapse into moments of cathartic release.
“‘Killin Butterflies’ is about being addicted to someone who destroys the very things you love about them,” explains Slush Puppy. “The butterflies represent innocence, beauty, and that feeling you get when you’re falling for somebody, and the song lives in that tension between passion and self-destruction.”
As a performer, Slush Puppy channels that same unpredictable energy into his live shows. This past winter, he joined Rhea Raj as the opening act across all five dates of her Commotion Tour, performing in cities including Chicago, Toronto, New York City, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles. His sets, defined by heavy drops and high-intensity movement, have quickly earned a reputation for igniting crowds before the headliner even takes the stage.
Beyond his work as an artist, Slush Puppy has built a strong reputation as a songwriter and producer across pop and electronic music. His growing list of credits includes collaborations with Snow Wife, CORTIS, Katy Perry, KATSEYE, ADÉLA, and Royal & the Serpent, alongside recent contributions such as ENHYPEN’s “Outside” and a feature on the KATSEYE “Gnarly” remix.
Looking ahead, his upcoming slate includes releases tied to Kim Petras, Good Charlotte, Adam Lambert, and Paris Hilton, further underscoring his expanding footprint across mainstream pop and alternative electronic music.
With “Killin Butterflies,” Slush Puppy continues to refine a sound defined by contrast—beautiful yet abrasive, emotional yet explosive—cementing his place among a new wave of producers reshaping the edges of modern genre boundaries.
