STUDIO D’LUX – The Allstar Project (2026) HQ *0dayrox Exclusive*
Doug Kistner has spent decades playing keyboards for Trans-Siberian Orchestra, John Waite, Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Lords of 52nd Street, etc. But with Studio STUDIO D’LUX, he’s stepped out from behind other people’s music to create his own.
We are featuring in exclusive STUDIO D’LUX debut album ”The Allstar Project”, which brings together an extraordinary roster of world-class legendary musicians whose collective resumes span some of the most influential bands in classic rock history including Chicago, Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, Styx and Whitesnake.
The musicians on The Allstar Project include Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Glen Burtnik (Styx), Bill Champlin (Chicago), Liberty DeVitto (Billy Joel, Paul McCartney), Leland Sklar (James Taylor, Phil Collins), Keith Howland (Chicago), Lee Loughnane (Chicago), Elliot Randall (Steely Dan), Jon Herington (Steely Dan) and Curtis King Jr. (Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band).
Each artist brings their unmistakable musical voice to the project, resulting in performances that are both familiar and fresh. Rather than functioning as a simple compilation, The Allstar Project serves as a cohesive artistic statement that bridges eras, styles, and generations of musicianship.
Curated, written, and produced by Doug Kistner, ”The Allstar Project” is a carefully crafted collection that conjures the best from Rock’s history, with some tracks mixed by Grammy-winning producer Ron Nevison (Led Zeppelin, The Who, Ozzy Osbourne).
Kistner’s production approach further emphasizes collaboration and musical storytelling, allowing each contributor’s strengths to shine while maintaining a unified sonic identity. The addition of Ron Nevison’s mix further elevates the release, underscoring Studio D’Lux’s commitment to excellence at every level of production.
