**Night Class** is the brainchild of Canadian synthwave artist Michael Oakley, a key figure in the retro-wave revival known for his neon-drenched, '80s-inspired soundscapes. Blending pulsating beats, shimmering synths, and nostalgic lyricism, Oakley’s work under this alias—including recent releases like *Everything Is Alright* and *Dionysus*—serves as a love letter to classic synth-pop with a modern twist. His 2023 album *Noise of the Whirlwind* and earlier projects like *California* (2020) solidify his reputation for crafting cinematic anthems that channel both late-night drives and introspective moments. While maintaining a relatively low profile, Night Class has become a cult favorite in the synthwave community, collaborating with artists like Dana Jean Phoenix and leaning into themes of escapism and emotional resilience.
