![]() Artist: Studio D'Lux Album: The Allstar Project [+2 Bonus Tracks] Band from: International Genre: Melodic Rock Quality: mp3, CBR 320 kbps | FLAC (tracks) thestrangebrew.co.uk Doug Kistner has spent decades behind the keyboards for major acts like Trans‑Siberian Orchestra, John Waite, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and The Lords of 52nd Street — but with STUDIO D’LUX, he finally steps into the spotlight with music of his own. We’re featuring, in exclusive form, the band’s debut album “The Allstar Project”, a release that truly lives up to its name. This record brings together an extraordinary lineup of world‑class musicians whose résumés span some of the most influential bands in classic rock history — Chicago, Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, Styx, Whitesnake, and more. The guest list reads like a hall‑of‑fame roll call: • 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) • Curtis King Jr. (Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band) Each musician brings their unmistakable signature to the album, but what makes The Allstar Project special is that it doesn’t feel like a patchwork of guest appearances. Instead, it plays as a cohesive artistic statement — a bridge between eras, styles, and generations of musicianship. Curated, written, and produced by Doug Kistner, the album blends the best elements of classic rock, West Coast smoothness, and modern production. Several tracks are mixed by Grammy‑winning producer Ron Nevison (Led Zeppelin, The Who, Ozzy Osbourne), adding even more pedigree to the project. Kistner’s production approach emphasizes collaboration and musical storytelling. Every contributor is given space to shine, yet the album maintains a unified sonic identity — polished, warm, and unmistakably crafted with care. Nevison’s mixes elevate the material even further, underscoring the project’s commitment to top‑tier quality. “The Allstar Project” is a beautifully crafted debut — rich, musical, and performed by some of the finest players in the world. HIGHLY Recommended.
