Camelot Wheel

Which keys go together?

The Camelot Wheel is the standard system for harmonic mixing. It shows you at a glance which keys are harmonically compatible — with no music theory needed.

What you learn with it

Understanding which tracks can be mixed together harmonically. Used properly, your set sounds warm and professional instead of off.

How to use the tool

1.

Click a key (for example 8A = Am) — that's the key of your current track

2.

Keys lit green = perfectly compatible (±1 on the wheel, same side)

3.

Keys lit orange = well compatible (same number, other side A↔B)

4.

Keys not lit = avoid

5.

Inner ring (A) = minor keys, outer ring (B) = major keys

Pro tip

So you can find the numbers again in rekordbox: the format sits under [Preferences] > [View] > [Display Type] > [Key display format]. The choices are [Classic] (key name, e.g. Am) and [Alphanumeric] (e.g. 1A, 2A) — so the Camelot notation is called ALPHANUMERIC there, not Camelot. That is exactly why looking for it fails.

Recommended practice time

15–30 minutes

Take the time in one go — hearing and timing develop through repetition, not through reading.
