"Ventla is a musical phenom flying fast and low under just about everyone's radar. Armed with an enviable list of vintage equipment and a prolific rate of output (averaging 8-9 albums per year), he is well in position to crush his seemingly impossible goal of releasing 100 albums for free. What makes this mammoth task all the more impressive is that none of the material is filler, but all beautifully arranged, warm lo-fi pop. Having caught our attention a few years back with one of his characteristically woozy synth jams making it onto Atlantics Vol. 3, we are proud to announce that we will be releasing more of Ventla's music on Astro Nautico this year. In the meantime, enjoy scouring his page for hidden gems and listening to what can only be described as the most surreal Astrocast ever."
