BPM 2008
Posted on Friday-31-October-2008
The success of the Pedestrian Party continued across the weekend as Pedestrian linked up with Audio Innovate and Skratchworx to promote and demonstrate the Innofader at BPM. Held in Castle Donington's Exhibition Centre, BPM is the largest DJ convention in Europe with stalls representing all aspects of the DJ industry.
However, there have been comments that the Audio Innovate stall was the highlight of the convention as there were lots of DJs scratching and generally having a wicked time. Massive thanks go out to all the volunteers involved (as without you it would never have been possible), DJ Switch who spent many hours with us demonstrating, all the scratch battle competitors and of course, Mark at Skratchworx and Elliot at Audio Innovate for all the hard work and sponsorship.

Pedestrian has been attracting a lot of media attention lately, partly due to the events that have taken place but it's mainly down to the variety and volume of the projects happening at the moment. The Northampton Chronicle have published a news piece about Pedestrian and the work that is in progress, and you can read it below!

The BIG Pedestrian Party Goes With a Bang!
Posted on Wednesday-22-October-2008
The celebration of ten years of Pedestrian's history was a momentous occasion, with lots of people turning out to see 4Hero, Danny Byrd, Jungle Drummer vs DJ Fu, No Fakin' DJs and all the Pedestrian DJs at the Roadmender in Northampton. Everyone involved worked so hard and fun times were had by all. However we couldn't have done it without the dedicated team of volunteers, and Pedestrian would like to thank everyone involved who gave their time to ensure the event was a success. Nice one everyone!
Check the photos!

After a fantastic year at the LCB Depot Pedestrian have made the big leap into a brand spanking new studio! Situated in the heart of the Cultural Quarter with a shop front, music production studio and general creative space it is just what was needed to reflect the expansion and amazing things that have been going on lately!
Have a peek at the pictures below, but if you'd like to pop in to have a look at the studio and chat to either Sam or Lauren feel free to give us a call on 0116 253 6574 or set your sights on 33 Yeoman Street, Leicester, LE1 1UT.

We teamed up with our good friends at Softouch to put on what is set to become a regular series of quarterly events at the The Shed in Leicester - pioneering young urban artists from the city.
The event was supported by the good people at Emery Johnson Solicitors in Leicester who helped us to keep providing positive opportunities for the young people in the East Midlands.
Our Creative Partnerships Project Wins an Award!
Posted on Sunday-1-June-2008
Our Creative Partnerships Project is run with our partners Riverside Business & Enterprise College, and on 15th May won an award together! The award was from the Leicestershire Education Business Company (LEBC) who aim to inspire and motivate young people by developing partnerships between schools, business and the wider community.
The award was for a 9minute radio show, entered into the 'enterprising radio shows' category sponsored by Wiggle FM at South Leicestershire College. The group of students who planned, presented, and produced the show on their own radio station - and were largely from Year 8 - beat even some sixth formers to the winning spot!
All the students involved received a certificate from LEBC, and will have their show played on Wiggle FM when it goes live to the local are in November.
The students have also been shortlisted to the final 10 for another radio competition this month - the Schools Radio Network. Fingers crossed!
