As part of its 2012 summer season, the Chelsea Music Festival has been invited to curate the K2 lounge at RMA featuring a wide variety of events flavored with this year’s French-Japanese theme. Highlights include the DCD Collective. The DCD Collective formed in 2009 when three DJs (Debbie Chou, Chris Gersbeck, and Damien Ragsdale) decided to combine their lifelong passion for music and respective musical backgrounds to spin uninhibited mixes of dance, indie, and nostalgic rock music from the 1960s through present day. They are active in New York City’s vibrant live music and blogger scenes and have played some of the city's most exciting venues including the Museum of Modern Art, Public Assembly in Williamsburg, a residency at Le Poisson Rouge, and a headlining slot atBUST Magazine's Spring Craftacular Festival.
