Nice one :) I love the 4, 9 and 11 chords sound. With the synth in the background it's very soothing. I was confused about how this could be a D major progression at first... I don't know much about theory, but I would think of it as a E dorian when playing it. (which are the same note, but not the same mindset for me)
It's because E Dorian is a mode of D major, and people like to name the key based on the major (Ionian) relative mode. I'm no pro, but I think this is just to make it easier to reference since everyone tends to start learning with the major scale.
I only know my major scales and this makes it easier for me to improvise, but as its in 'Eminor' i obviously need to know where the 'Eminor' notes are in the 'D' major scale...and the other chord tones too.

Good catch. It's easier (for me) to play in E dorian than D major given the tonic center of E minor.
