The Camelot wheel — click a key, see its friends
Every DJ chart on one wheel: pick your track's key and the compatible moves light up — the safe neighbors, the relative swap, and the +2 energy jump with its standard caveat.

Pick a key on the wheel
The wheel tells you what mixes. The studio tells you what key you're holding.
SongRemixer's console detects key and tempo for the tracks you load and warps them to each other, section by section. Sign up and hear a real harmonic blend: 3 full packs free.
Reading the wheel like a working DJ
The wheel is a map of shared notes. Neighbors share six of seven; relatives share all seven with different gravity. In practice that means three everyday moves — stay, step ±1, or flip the letter — cover ninety percent of harmonic mixing, and the +2 jump covers the moment the room needs a lift. Everything further apart is a key change the crowd will hear, which is sometimes exactly the point.
One habit worth stealing: think in numbers during the set and check the musical names after. "I'm on 8, I can go 7, 8, 9, or flip" is fast enough to do mid-transition; "F minor to E-flat major" is not.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Camelot wheel work?
Each key gets a position from 1 to 12 plus a letter — A for minor, B for major. Adjacent numbers share almost all their notes, so moving ±1, staying put, or swapping the letter (relative major/minor) all mix harmonically. 8A to 9A works; 8A to 3B fights.
What is the +2 'energy boost' mix?
Jumping two positions clockwise (8A → 10A) lifts the perceived energy — a favorite trick for peak-time transitions. The caveat: it's a real key change, so blend it during percussion or a breakdown rather than over sustained melodies.
What Camelot code is my track?
Click any musical key in the converter below the wheel and it maps both ways — C major is 8B, A minor is 8A, and so on. If you don't know the key at all, our key finder detects it from the file.
Does harmonic mixing always matter?
No — percussive sections, acapella drops, and hard cuts don't clash because there's little sustained pitch to clash. The wheel matters most when two melodic sections overlap for bars at a time.
