Deradoorian is the solo project of Angel Deradoorian, a former member of Dirty Projectors who has also worked with Avey Tare and Flying Lotus. The music blends indie rock with avant-garde electronics, dub and dance rhythms. The albums The Expanding Flower Planet (2015) and Find the Sun (2020) are song cycles shaped by a spiritual outlook.

The 2023 album Ticket to Fame, credited to Decisive Pink, was made with Kate NV and leans heavily on electronics. Ready for Heaven (2025) takes on heaven and earth, damnation and salvation, and resistance to greed, presented as inquisitive pop songs with a light touch and a tight focus. One review singles out the voice, which shifts from airy to full-throated and handles fast melismatic runs.

Kate NV is a Russian musician, born in Kazan in 1989 and active since 2013, whose work moves between electronic music, indie rock and experimental rock; the album Binasu appeared in 2016. Gal GO also features on the bill. The venue, Gullivers, programmes concerts and shows in Manchester.
