Reflections leads you on a journey from haunting, atmospheric reflection through to uplifting pop/dance track merging EDM dance with the classical.

Reflections

This Alan Walker track has been a favourite of mine for a while and I have enjoyed every minute producing a new take on this reflective track of regret and lost opportunity released in early 2021.

Alan Walker - Sorry (Caz106 Remix)

My latest track is a very personal tribute to my late dad who was and still is the most influential person in my life. I am releasing the track on what would have been his birthday 15th May. 

This has been my hardest, but also most rewarding challenge to date and has been in development for over six months. The aim was to produce a cross genre track of classical EDM to capture my love of electronic music with dad's love of classical music. 

The track leads you on the journey of loss, remembrance, hope and peace.
 
For me it has been a very cathartic experience using music to express what is often difficult to articulate into words and I have learnt a lot about myself in the process. Even if surrounded by a lot of supportive people, grief can be a very lonely experience. For those of you who have lost someone recently or in the past I hope Hymn for the Fallen will resonate with you and help you realise you are not alone.

There are two people who are always heavily involved in my music, but this time my thanks are particularly heart felt. 

The first is to Matt from MDT-Vision who not only provided sound technical advice (and went above and beyond when mastering this track for me), but also helped me understand the story I wanted and needed to express, often pushing me to go the extra mile (which I admit I resisted at times) but which has elevated the track far beyond my expectations.
 
The second is my husband Mark who with very little input from me produced a video portraying exactly the atmosphere I wished for the track. He has also been there for me as my rock while I came to terms with dad’s dementia and ultimate death in 2022.

My dad was always a glass half full type of guy, lived life to the full every single day, loved his family and was generous to a fault. He never let his age define who he was or what he was capable of, something I have always respected and tried to emulate as I  grow older myself. He is and always will be my inspiration.


Hymn for the fallen

Alan Walker - Wake up (Caz 106 remix)

At Christmas 2023 a chapter in my life had ended and I was looking to the future when I realised I had lost who I was as a person. At various points in my life I have considered pursuing music to a higher level, but it had never been the right time, but now felt to be that time. I had listened to Alan Walker music for a number of years and came across some vlogs of his journey into music. For the first time I realised I didn’t need a ton of expensive equipment to produce music of quality for self-release. My goal became to develop a Youtube channel of music I was proud of and that hopefully others would connect with, however producing good quality music is hard enough, but taking that step to put it out to the world is even harder. Producing music is a very emotional experience and putting it out into the world is scary as it is exposing a part of ourselves that normally remains hidden. That became the theme for this competition entry. A comment Alan made on a recent live tiktok event really struck home to me which is why I have included it in the track. Massive thanks to the EDM tips community for their support and feedback during 2024 and especially Matt at MDT Vision who I met through the group, and who’s encouragement keeps pushing me to strive to be better and has also started mastering my tracks for me.

Lyrics
Whispers in my head
Telling me to stay
Craving all the colours
But stuck inside this grey
I’m standing on the edge
Shadows on my face
Caught within a heartbeat
Holding me in place

I wanna break free
Let the colours fly
But I’m dancing with the shadows
Of my stormy mind

I’m tired of playing games
It’s time to fan the flames
I wanna fly but scared to fall
Holding tight onto the wall
Old habits say I’m fine
But deep inside I’m losing time
Chasing round in circles
Try to draw the line

Spoken: 
Fear is one of the strongest destructive forces for a human being, but creativity is stronger

I wanna break free
Let the colours fly
But I’m dancing with the shadows
Of my stormy mind

I wanna
I wanna
I wanna

I wanna break free
Let the colours fly
But I’m dancing with the shadows
Of my stormy mind

Alan Walker - Old Habits (Caz106 remix)

I am excited to release my latest track Dreams which is a reminder that it is easy to find yourself stuck in a rut existing but not living and that one day you  wake up to the realization that there is more to life and to start following your dreams.

The track has been inspired a wide range of musical styles from early 80's electronic music and synth pop, my love of rock music and more recent connection to trance, progressive house and melodic techno.

I have been incredibly lucky to start following my own dream 18 months ago to write and produce music, a journey which has connected me to some great like minded creators through the EDMTips community who have helped me on this journey and particularly my coach and good friend Matt https://www.youtube.com/@mdtvision80 who for a year now has helped me reach a level of production I never dreamed possible in such a short period of time and who also mastered the track.

I am pleased to release my Progressive House/Dance version of Hardwell's No Sleep which I produced for the Hardwell Remix competition run by Skio. This has been an amazing learning experience and great fun to produce and hope you like the final result.

Massive thanks as always to Matt at MDT-Vision for his invaluable advice and for mastering the track for me

Hardwell - No Sleep (Caz 106 remix)

I am pleased to release my latest track I submitted for the Zoya - Rising up Remix Competition organized by Black Hole Recordings and EDMTips.


This is a track which developed over an 11 day period to the full EDM dance track it has become in the final mix. It has evolved into a story about taking back control of your life and becoming empowered to become the best version of yourself.

Massive thanks as always to my coach and good friend Matt (MDT Vision) who has accelerated my progress from a raw beginner in the world of music production to a level I never dreamed possible a year ago. 

Thanks also to the EDMtips community where I have made many friends whose feedback and encouragement over the last year has helped reignite my passion for music creation and helped me strive to be better.

Zoya with Christina Novelli - Rising up (Caz106 Remix)

I am excited to release my latest track Breakaway which takes you on a musical journey exploring the search to find those people who truly connect with us and help us to understand who we really are as individuals.

A track to celebrate all you creators out there who dare to dream and be different.

I have been lucky enough to connect with a wide range of people of all age groups over the past 18 months through groups like EDMTips and more recently World of Walker and it is inspiring and humbling to see how many fellow aspiring music producers there are out there.

Thanks as always to the community at EDMTips who have supported me and provided feedback on my tracks and also to my coach and good friend Matt    / @mdtvision80  who   continually helps me to improve my music production skills, helped me develop Breakaway to it's full potential and went the extra mile when mastering the track.

Breakaway - Caz106

My latest release is an entry I submitted for the Skio Music Nurko and Haliene remix competition at the beginning of October. It has been great fun to work on and a great learning curve. 

For those aspiring music producers out there I would definitely recommend taking part in these competitions as it is a great way to work on tracks that you would not normally consider and expand your knowledge and skills. Having looked back over the last 18 months since I began my own music production journey, it is clear to me the impact these remixes have had on my original material and how my tracks overall have improved with time. 

A massive thanks goes out to all those people who have supported me over the last 18 months - all you guys from the EDMtips community who regularly feedback on my tracks, those of you I met recently through the World of Walker community and everyone who has supported me on YouTube with your subscribes and likes. 

A special mention as always to my coach and good friend Matt https://www.youtube.com/@mdtvision80  who continually helps me to improve my music production skills, and who mastered the track for me.
