Studio D’Lux Releases Brooding New Single “Nothing” on June 27, 2025

All-star project featuring Leland Sklar, Liberty DeVitto, Keith Howland and Curtis King Jr. and founder Doug Kistner join forces for a dark, soul-searching ballad.

VERONA, NJ – June 24, 2025 – After months of anticipation, Studio D’Lux—the collaborative rock project headed by veteran keyboardist, vocalist and songwriter Doug Kistner—will unveil its newest single “Nothing” on Friday, June 27, 2025 across all major streaming and download platforms. Written by Kistner and co-produced with acclaimed engineer Marc Battaglia, the track delivers a slow-burn atmosphere of heartbreak and isolation, carried by one of the most decorated rhythm sections in modern music.

Anchoring the song’s haunting pulse is legendary bassist Leland Sklar, whose résumé spans Carole King, Phil Collins and James Taylor. Sklar’s fluid bass lines lock in with Billy Joel alumnus Liberty DeVitto on drums, while longtime Chicago guitarist Keith Howland plays a memorable solo with both simplicity and flair. Vocals soar on the pairing of Kistner’s plaintive lead and the gospel-hued harmonies of Curtis King Jr. (Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie), framing lyrics that wrestle with restless nights, unanswered prayers and the ache of an empty house.

“It’s thrilling to have these world-class musicians breathe life into my songs,” Kistner says. “There’s a natural chemistry that gives ‘Nothing’ its own gravity—a sound that’s unmistakably us.”

About Studio D’Lux

Created by Doug Kistner (Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Blood Sweat & Tears, John Waite), Studio D’Lux operates as a revolving-door super-group, pairing Kistner’s songwriting with the talents of rock’s most revered players. Previous singles have featured former Chicago front-man Bill Champlin, Steely Dan guitarist Jon Herington and Whitesnake’s Joel Hoekstra. With “Nothing,” Kistner again proves that classic musicianship can feel urgent and contemporary. Studiodlux.com

How to Protect Pipes and Plumbing Systems During North Carolina Summers

When most homeowners think about plumbing problems, winter is often top of mind. But summer brings its own set of challenges that can put added stress on pipes and plumbing systems. From heavy water usage to higher outdoor temperatures, North Carolina summers create conditions where small issues can quickly turn into costly repairs.

Tower Heating, Air & Plumbing, serving Raleigh, Durham, Garner, and surrounding Wake County communities, helps homeowners keep their plumbing systems running smoothly year-round. Understanding common summer plumbing concerns and taking simple preventive steps can go a long way toward avoiding unexpected breakdowns.

Manage Increased Water Demand

Summer activities often lead to a spike in household water usage. From filling pools and watering gardens to more frequent showers and laundry, this increased demand can strain plumbing systems. It’s important to monitor usage and avoid overtaxing older pipes or appliances. Homeowners should also inspect outdoor spigots and hoses for leaks or signs of wear, as these can waste significant amounts of water if left unchecked.

Prevent Clogs with Smart Practices

Summer gatherings and backyard cookouts can sometimes contribute to plumbing issues indoors. Be mindful of what goes down the kitchen drain—cooking oils, grease, and food scraps can easily cause clogs. Installing a simple drain screen and disposing of waste properly can help prevent backups.

Watch for Root Intrusion

Trees and shrubs often grow more aggressively during the summer months. Roots seeking moisture can invade sewer lines, causing blockages or even pipe damage. If you notice slow drains or recurring clogs, it may be time to have the sewer line professionally inspected. Catching root intrusion early can help avoid more extensive repairs later.

Monitor Water Pressure

High water pressure is common in some areas and can worsen during the summer when water demand fluctuates. Excessive pressure puts strain on pipes, fixtures, and appliances. Installing a pressure regulator or having an existing one checked can protect the entire plumbing system and extend its lifespan.

Schedule Preventive Maintenance

One of the best ways to protect your home’s plumbing system is with professional maintenance. A licensed plumber can identify potential issues such as worn seals, aging pipes, or hidden leaks before they lead to bigger problems. Regular maintenance also ensures that water heaters and other appliances are performing safely and efficiently.

By taking proactive steps during the summer months, homeowners can protect their plumbing systems, conserve water, and avoid unnecessary expenses.

Minimally Invasive Approach – With robotic-assisted planning and guidance, the procedure can often be performed with less invasive techniques. This may lead to smaller incisions, reduced discomfort, and faster recovery times for patients.

Consistent and Predictable Results – By enhancing surgical precision, robotic-assisted implant placement supports greater consistency across procedures. Patients can feel more confident in achieving the desired outcome, whether receiving a single implant or a full arch restoration.

Advanced Care at Highland Implant Center

Highland Implant Center offers robotic-assisted dental implant surgery as part of its comprehensive implant services. The use of the Yomi system reflects the center’s commitment to delivering the latest in dental technology and ensuring the highest standard of care for every patient.

Key Benefits of Hydro Jetting for Stubborn Drain and Sewer Blockages in Anacortes

Homeowners and businesses in Anacortes, Bellingham, Mount Vernon, and Ferndale are turning to hydro jetting as a powerful solution for eliminating stubborn drain and sewer blockages.

LaVergne’s Plumbing & Heating is helping residents across the region understand why this advanced method is one of the most effective ways to maintain clean, free-flowing plumbing systems.

Over time, drains and sewer lines accumulate debris such as grease, soap scum, food particles, tree roots, and mineral deposits. These materials can build up gradually, restricting flow and increasing the risk of backups. In many cases, conventional drain cleaning methods—such as cabling or snaking—provide only temporary relief by punching a hole through the clog rather than fully clearing the pipe.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams to thoroughly clean the inside of pipes. This process removes both soft blockages and hardened buildup, restoring the pipe to near-original condition without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures.

Key benefits of hydro jetting include:

  • Complete cleaning of drain and sewer lines, not just partial clearing of blockages

  • Removal of tough obstructions, including grease, scale, sludge, and invasive tree roots

  • Longer-lasting results compared to mechanical snaking

  • Safe and eco-friendly process, using only water to clean pipes

  • Prevention of future blockages by clearing the entire pipe diameter


Hydro jetting
is especially useful for older properties in areas like Anacortes and Bellingham, where aging pipes are more prone to buildup. It is also an ideal maintenance tool for commercial properties in Mount Vernon and Ferndale that experience heavy drain use, such as restaurants and multi-tenant buildings.

LaVergne’s Plumbing & Heating offers professional hydro jetting services for residential and commercial customers throughout Whatcom and Skagit counties. The company’s trained technicians use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure safe and effective cleaning, helping prevent costly plumbing emergencies and extending the life of drain and sewer systems.

How Professional Drain Cleaning Prevents Plumbing Emergencies in Mesa

Clogged drains may seem like a minor inconvenience, but when left untreated, they can quickly escalate into serious plumbing emergencies.

Dukes of Air & Plumbing is helping homeowners across Mesa and the East Valley understand how professional drain cleaning can protect plumbing systems and prevent costly repairs.

Many common plumbing emergencies begin with slow drains or recurring clogs. Over time, debris such as grease, soap residue, food particles, and hair can build up inside pipes, restricting water flow and placing added strain on the plumbing system. When blockages become severe, they can cause backups, burst pipes, and even water damage to floors and walls.

Seasonal factors also contribute to the risk of drain problems. Summer gatherings, increased cooking, and the arrival of Arizona’s monsoon season all place added demands on home plumbing. Without preventative care, minor blockages can quickly turn into major disruptions.

Professional drain cleaning provides several key benefits that help prevent emergencies:

  • Removes built-up debris that can lead to clogs and slow drains

  • Improves water flow to reduce strain on pipes and fixtures

  • Identifies potential issues early, such as pipe corrosion or root intrusion

  • Helps prevent foul odors caused by trapped organic material

  • Extends the life of the plumbing system by reducing wear and tear

Unlike store-bought chemical cleaners, professional drain cleaning methods are safe for pipes and provide long-lasting results. Techniques such as high-pressure water jetting can clear even the most stubborn blockages without damaging the plumbing system.

Dukes of Air & Plumbing recommends that homeowners in Mesa and surrounding East Valley communities schedule routine drain cleaning as part of their regular home maintenance. Early intervention can help avoid emergency calls, protect property, and keep plumbing systems operating efficiently year-round.

How HVAC Repairs Improve Indoor Air Quality During East Valley Dust Storm Season

With dust storm season underway across the East Valley, residents in Mesa, Gilbert, and surrounding communities are reminded of the important role HVAC systems play in maintaining healthy indoor air.

Dukes of Air & Plumbing is helping homeowners understand how timely HVAC repairs can significantly improve indoor air quality during these challenging months.

Known locally as haboobs, Arizona’s seasonal dust storms can send walls of fine particles into homes, even when windows and doors remain closed. HVAC systems act as a first line of defense against airborne pollutants, but only when they are operating properly.

Clogged filters, duct leaks, malfunctioning blowers, and dirty coils can all allow dust, allergens, and other particulates to circulate through a home’s living spaces. This not only impacts comfort, but can also aggravate respiratory conditions such as asthma and allergies.

During the height of dust storm season, HVAC systems in the East Valley run for extended hours. Without proper maintenance and repair, accumulated dust can strain components and reduce system efficiency, making it harder to maintain clean indoor air.

Key ways that HVAC repairs support better air quality include:

  • Filter replacement and system cleaning to capture dust and pollutants

  • Ductwork sealing to prevent unfiltered outdoor air from entering the system

  • Blower and coil maintenance to ensure efficient air circulation

  • Repairing system leaks that contribute to indoor humidity and mold growth

In addition to improving air quality, these repairs can help HVAC systems run more efficiently, reducing wear and lowering energy costs during peak cooling season.

Dukes of Air & Plumbing recommends that homeowners across Mesa, Gilbert, and the East Valley schedule professional HVAC inspections and repairs as early in the dust storm season as possible. Regular attention to system performance not only protects indoor air but also helps extend the life of HVAC equipment through Arizona’s demanding summer months.

Engineering Simplicity in a Complex World: Frederic Lauzier Urges Industry to Prioritise Resilient, Intuitive Systems

Engineering Simplicity in a Complex World: Frederic Lauzier Urges Industry to Prioritise Resilient, Intuitive Systems

Frederic Lauzier, Québec, QC.
Seasoned engineer highlights the urgent need for cross-functional collaboration, smart automation, and mentorship in transforming outdated infrastructure

Electrical engineer and systems innovator Frederic Lauzier is raising his voice to advocate for a shift in how engineering teams tackle modernisation. In a recent in-depth interview, Lauzier shared insights from his 15+ year career in power systems, embedded technology, and sustainable automation—calling on industry leaders to simplify, future-proof, and humanise complex engineering processes.

“I believe good engineering is simple, strong, and intuitive,” Lauzier said in the interview. “That’s harder to achieve than it sounds. But when it works, you know it immediately.”

A Call to Modernise with Purpose

Lauzier’s message comes at a time when ageing infrastructure and siloed engineering practices are holding back progress. According to a 2024 report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), over 60% of industrial facilities in North America are operating with outdated control systems, limiting energy efficiency and automation capabilities.

Lauzier has led initiatives to retrofit legacy manufacturing facilities, using predictive maintenance and real-time data systems to extend operational life while reducing downtime. These interventions not only boost efficiency but also cut costs—by up to 30% in some cases, according to industry estimates.

“We worked with one client whose factory hadn’t been updated in decades,” Lauzier recalled. “They thought they’d need to shut down for months. Instead, we built a system that worked alongside their existing setup. That kept them running and gave them real insight into their energy use.”

Bridging the Hardware–Software Divide

A central theme of Lauzier’s advocacy is improving communication between hardware and software teams—a common obstacle in fast-moving tech environments. Misalignment can delay development, compromise safety, and waste valuable resources.

“Hardware engineers and software developers sometimes speak very different languages,” Lauzier explained. “I see myself as a bridge. I try to translate what one group needs in terms the other can act on.”

He encourages engineering leaders to embrace cross-disciplinary training, open documentation, and collaborative design reviews—measures shown to improve project outcomes and reduce integration time by up to 40% in some sectors.

Mentorship: The Hidden Engine of Innovation

Lauzier is also a vocal supporter of mentorship and peer learning, which he credits as vital to his own success. A 2023 Engineering UK study found that over 70% of early-career engineers are more likely to remain in the field if they have access to mentorship and development support.

“No one does this alone,” Lauzier said. “I had great mentors. Now, I help junior engineers with certifications, design reviews—even how to explain their work clearly. That’s how we keep moving forward.”

The Road Ahead: What You Can Do

Lauzier isn’t just speaking to executives—he’s calling on every engineer, manager, and student to take part in building stronger systems and smarter teams:

  • Ask tough questions about legacy processes and automation potential.

  • Document and share your work to improve collaboration.

  • Mentor someone, or seek mentorship yourself—every connection matters.

  • Stay curious and keep learning, especially in emerging fields like cybersecurity and machine learning.

“Engineering, for me, has never been just a job,” Lauzier said. “It’s how I understand the world. And the more we share that understanding, the better systems we can build.”
