Vitaly Reznakov is an electronic music artist based in Essex in the UK. A collector of Hip Hop and Electro records from a very early age, he started producing his own music in 1990 with several vinyl releases under various aliases from 1991 until the early 2000's when circumstances lead to a move away from music and into a different artistic career for several years. After rediscovering his passion for making music he has ventured back into the electro scene, so far releasing an 8 track ep on Bandcamp and two releases on Amper Clap's Urban Connections netlabel with more music coming soon.

Which artists has influenced you the most? 

- As a kid in the early 80's I remember listening to Afrika Bambaataa, Twilight 22, Newcleus etc and thinking I want to make music like that one day... when I started producing with an Atari 1040 set up in the early 90's I was listening to Model 500, How and Little, Underground Resistance, Joey Beltram.

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future? 

- I have an ep “Polykube” to be released on Diffuse Reality later this year, and an ep I'm just finishing for another label that I can't disclose details of just yet.

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now? 

- Too many artists to name, my mix should give a good indication of what I'm into... the same goes for labels, but I would say at the moment Cultivated Electronics, Mechatronica, Urban Connections are pretty solid.

What inspires you now to create music? 

- Dystopian sci-fi/horror movies and comics had a big impact on me when I was growing up and are always an inspiration for the feel of a track, but I'm not sure what inspires me on a personal level... I have ideas all the time so I guess just the ability to let other people hear what's going on inside my head is a good feeling.

What set-up do you use when creating music?

- Laptop with Reason 12 and a load of VST plugins... I'm old school so I like the fact I can flip the rack and visually patch instruments and effects together. I still have some original analogue synths (Roland Jupiter 6, Sequential Circuits Pro One) they are not midi'd up, but I sample from them now and then.
