NEW RELEASE on Feb 25th 2026
With Cépage Futur, DoctorD continues his tradition of blurring boundaries between sound, craft, and storytelling. Just like its predecessor Alcaloid—a mysterious, dub‑infused ambient piece—this new track was born from an unexpected collaboration: the launch of an exclusive rosé millésime champagne by vigneron Sam Roguet of the historic house Lucien Roguet in Mailly Champagne.
Where Alcaloid evoked the quiet alchemy of fermentation, Cépage Futur bursts open with the energy of celebration. Rooted in the shimmering world of nu‑disco, the track was created as the official opener for the champagne’s release party—a sonic toast to creativity, friendship, and the promise of what’s ahead.
At its core, Cépage Futur is a manifesto of DoctorD’s signature genre fluidity. The title refers to the art of blending different wines to create a new champagne—a process known as “cépage.” It’s a fitting metaphor for DoctorD’s own approach: cutting, mixing, and reshaping sounds into something fresh and unexpected. The track draws a direct line between the craft of the winemaker and the craft of the producer—both artisans working with raw elements, both shaping identity through careful composition, both creating experiences meant to be shared.
Festive, forward‑looking, and rooted in collaboration, Cépage Futur is a celebration of future projects and the creative chemistry that fuels them.
