Hello everybody,
My name is Matt, nicknamed Praada from childhood... I am an architectural technologist but not your stereotypical type!
I DJ house music at the weekend into the very early hours, supporting some great DJ's such as Hardwell, Nicky Romero, DVBBS, Afrojack, MK, Dusky, DJ EZ, and many many more over the last 3 years. I have played to a room of 50 people and i have played to a room of 2000 people in a 10k capacity venue! There is passion in my hobby but nothing quite like my real hobby... Exploring abandoned and disused mine workings around the UK!
The excitement from the danger is unlike any other activity i have ever partaken in. It has allowed me conquer fears of heights and tight spaces but one fear remains and will never leave me, SPIDERS!!! Entering the caves and mines always encounters the 8 legged freaks where the last remaining insects dwell before you enter the pitch dark, lifeless mine workings deeper in the hillsides. These entrances are the part of the adventure that i do not hang around and move quickly through to reduce the risk of meeting face to face with a multi-eyed freakzoid haha!
Once inside the whole world is cut off and its genuinely one of the only times i get my phone to stop vibrating and enjoy some real peace and quiet. The features of every mine are different which is a reason why i love it so much, never the same method used or never the same dangers present in any one mine.
I hope to share my adventures with you guys on here and develop a following of like minded people who love exploring the unknown wonders beneath our feet!
