Our setup includes an OJAS Three-Way Loudspeaker Array, Kuzma Dual Arm XL DC Turntable, and equipment from Accuphase, Miyajima, and Nakamichi. The system will continue to evolve as the series unfolds.

- October 3rd Session -

Get ready for a sonic journey like no other as Orange County’s DJ Dustin De Leon and Los Angeles-based musician Kenny Dickenson join forces for an unforgettable night of music. Dustin, a regular fixture at SoCal hotspots like Checker Hall, Part Time Lover, and Gold Line, brings his deep love for Album-Oriented Rock (AOR), Disco, and Yacht Rock to the stage. As co-host of the beloved "Yacht or Nyacht" event with the creators of the cult-classic Yacht Rock web series—JD Ryznar, Steve Huey, Hunter Stair, and David Lyons—Dustin delivers a truly authentic spin on these iconic sounds.

Kenny Dickenson, an accomplished musician, producer, and composer, adds his own unique flavor to the mix. With a touring résumé that includes the Sydney Opera House and Glastonbury, and collaborations with Dave Stewart, KT Tunstall, and The Cinematic Orchestra, Kenny moves effortlessly between neoclassical and electronic landscapes. His original scores for films like Les Rivières and Journey Infinite reveal his deep passion for storytelling through sound.

Together, Dustin and Kenny will craft a mesmerizing evening of music, weaving the smooth grooves of Yacht Rock with eclectic beats and hidden gems from across the genres. Expect rich textures, deep vibes, and an immersive sound that will keep you engaged from the first note to the last.

Space will be strictly limited; an RSVP and small donation will be required for entry. Limited Edition Night School T-Shirts included with a $40 donation. All proceeds from donations will go towards local LA Unified Schools and Music programs.

We will be announcing the following week’s presenter every Friday via email, so be on the lookout.
