Big things are happening — we’re thrilled to share that we’ve officially started working with 2and6 Collective! These guys are absolutely amazing, and this collaboration marks a huge step forward for our network.

Why 2and6 Collective Is Such a Perfect Match

For those who don’t know, 2and6 Collective (also called The 2&6 Journalism Collective) is an independent Dutch/British publication that’s redefining how music, culture, and political stories are told. thenextcartel.com+1

• They call themselves a “record label for writers & photographers,” operating as a creative family that supports underground voices. Facebook

• Their editorial focus is on real, unfiltered journalism — covering everything from Dutch and UK hip-hop to grime, graffiti, street art, and political issues. thenextcartel.com

• The collective was founded around 2020 by a diverse team of journalists, street photographers, album reviewers, and creatives, all passionate about telling raw, authentic stories. thenextcartel.com

In short: they’re not just media — they’re a movement. And we’re honored to be part of it.

What This Partnership Means for Us

• Featured in Their Magazine: 2and6 Collective runs their own magazine, and we’re being featured in one of their upcoming issues. That’s massive for our visibility and credibility.

• Expanding Our Circle: By teaming up with them, our network is growing in a meaningful way. Their platform gives us access to a community that’s deeply tuned into underground culture, art, and music.

• Dreaming Big — Beer Included?: Rumor has it, they’re also linked to their own beer? While we couldn’t find confirmed sources for a 2and6 beer line, the idea alone speaks to their larger-than-life creative energy. (If anyone on their side wants to clarify, hit us up — we’d love to cover it.)

For Now: Cheers With Their Amsterdam Pils 🍻

While full-scale beer collabs are still in the speculative phase, we’ll be celebrating today with something real: Ambachtelijk Bier Amsterdam Pils, brewed with Friekens Brouwerij. With the lovely weather on our side, it’s the perfect moment to raise a glass — to what’s already happening, and to what’s still to come.

Looking Ahead

This partnership with 2and6 feels like the beginning of something special. As we feature in their magazine and deepen our connection with their team, we’re excited about what’s possible:

• More content collaborations

• Shared creative projects

• Potential live events or brand activations

• And (fingers crossed) more surprises, maybe even a collab beer someday

Thanks to Our Crew + to 2&6collective

Here’s to the next chapter. 🥂
