skint: Battygyal, onlytom, Don-Ri, Parish God, Craic Feen

Following a standout launch party feat. Buckley (UK), Skint returns to Mood Ring with a star-studded lineup of NYC talent.

Battygyal headlines with a dynamic blend of dub and bass-heavy club cuts that pay homage to her Jamaican roots. A true selector’s selector, she's graced the decks at some of NYC’s most beloved parties: Body Hack, Papi Juice, and Lava; flowing effortlessly between ambient textures and club pressure.

Fresh off a tour of Japan, onlytom delivers a high-energy mix of club rhythms, fusing Baltimore Club, hyperpop, trap, and leftfield edits. Her sets are built for movement: fast, fun, and full of surprises. Her productions have been championed by the likes of Archangel, Umru, and Jialing.

Opening the night is a B3B steeped in Fenian heritage:
Don-Ri, founder of Twist — NYC’s premier UK bass night — has brought heavyweights like Introspekt and Conducta to Mood Ring. In 2025, his dubstep and grime-driven sets have rocked the city's biggest soundystems at Nowadays and H0L0.
Parish God, a staple in both Dublin and NYC, is a capital-R Raver with a keen feel for dancefloor energy. His wide-ranging selections span UKG, bassline, house, and techno,
And of course, Craic Feen — the fella in the green and white shirt.

[happy hour] Freedom Writers: A fundraiser for journalists in Palestine

Thursday, July 3rd, 2025
7 pm to 10 pm
21+ with ID for entry

$5 SUGGESTED DONATION

Freedom Writers is a fundraiser event for journalists in Gaza, which is taking place on July 3rd at Mood Ring in Bushwick. Attendees can pay an optional $5 at the door, and donate throughout the night (additionally, 10% of the bar proceeds will be donated). We’ve chosen to donate 100% of our proceeds to International Media Support, a trusted organization that’s aligned with our goal to aid journalists in Gaza. Their official site shows that donations to IMS will cover building tents for women journalists, basic needs (food, clothing, blankets), safety equipment such as press vests, helmets, phones, and cameras, as well as psychosocial support.

"By partnering with Freedom Writers, IMS can provide crucial support directly to journalists in Gaza," said IMS's Head of Fundraising, Maria Gerey Bak. "With your donation we can keep independent journalists and media outlets in Gaza operating, and they can continue to have a voice."

Come support free press and enjoy DJ sets from freelance journalist and head of HEADS KNOW Arielle Lana, Pitchfork music critic Alphonse Pierre, Finals Blog co-founder Andrew Matson, and Politics of Dancing's Annabel Ross. The event will be hosted by Arielle Lana, as well as journalists Timmhotep Aku and Andre Gee. There will also be free tattoos, courtesy of Twonksi.
