NEW RELEASE on June 14th 2026

With the release of Hagueland Tributes, DoctorD invites listeners into a cinematic reimagining of the sounds that have shaped his creative journey. This 5-track EP is a deeply personal project, where each piece serves as a dedicated homage to a specific musical influence—ranging from the precision of electronic music to the raw power of folk-rock.

The heart of this collection is rooted in a specific sense of place. The EP was crafted in Lubbeek, a town nestled in the rolling hills of the Hagueland—a scenic rural region in Belgium. This landscape serves as the backdrop for the music, grounding the project’s grand ambitions in the serene, organic atmosphere of the Belgian countryside.

Across the EP, DoctorD pays tribute to a diverse range of icons:

• The progressive, architectural structures of Deadmau5.
• The rhythmic, minimalist elegance of Michael Nyman.
• The haunting, powerful energy of the Mongolian folk-rock ensemble Altan Urag.

While these influences span the globe, the collection is unified by the sweeping, emotive power of string ensembles. Despite being crafted "in the box," these arrangements bring a rich, organic warmth to DoctorD’s signature genre-fluid style. It is a fusion of digital precision and timeless orchestral tradition—a bridge between the icons he admires and the quiet stillness of his home in Lubbeek.

"Living and creating in the Hagueland provides a unique perspective," says DoctorD. "It’s a place where I can take the energy of a band like Altan Urag or the structure of a Deadmau5 track and filter them through the quiet, rural beauty of my own surroundings."

Experience a new dimension of tribute—where the modern electronic studio meets the soul of the Belgian landscape.
