Which keys mix together?

The Camelot wheel numbers the 24 keys from 1 to 12, with A for minor and B for major. A key mixes with its own code, with the codes one number either side with the same letter, and with the same number and the other letter. For example, 8A (A minor) mixes with 7A (D minor), 9A (E minor) and 8B (C major).

How to use the Camelot wheel

Every key has a code: a number from 1 to 12 and a letter. B is a major key, A is a minor key. Two tracks mix cleanly when their codes are the same, one number apart with the same letter, or the same number with the letter swapped.

So from 8A (A minor) you can go to 7A (D minor), 9A (E minor) or 8B (C major). Many DJs use a step up the wheel to lift the energy and a step down to ease it off. Swapping A and B keeps every note and changes the mood between minor and major.

The wheel only covers harmony. The tempos still have to line up: within about 3% sounds natural, and up to about 16% works with time-stretching. Our beat matching guide covers that side.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Camelot wheel?+
The Camelot wheel is a chart DJs use for harmonic mixing. It gives each of the 24 major and minor keys a code from 1A to 12B, arranged like a clock so that keys which sound good together sit next to each other.
Which keys are compatible on the Camelot wheel?+
A key mixes cleanly with itself, with the codes one number either side with the same letter (8A with 7A and 9A), and with the same number and the other letter (8A with 8B), which is its relative major or minor.
What do A and B mean on the Camelot wheel?+
A marks minor keys and B marks major keys. Relative keys share a number: 8A is A minor and 8B is C major, and they use the same seven notes.
How do I find the Camelot code of a song?+
Drop the track on this page. It detects the key in your browser and selects its code on the wheel. Detection is automatic and can be wrong, especially on tracks that change key, so check it by ear.
Is the Camelot wheel the same as the circle of fifths?+
It is the circle of fifths relabelled. Each step round the Camelot wheel is a fifth, and the numbers replace note names so you can see compatible keys at a glance.
