Understanding the Camelot Wheel is much simpler than you think, and we will talk you through it.

This tutorial breaks down the music theory of what a key is but, more importantly, how to mix in key on DJ hardware/software such as Rekordbox, Serato DJ Pro, Traktor and the Pioneer DJ equipment.

Remember this only works when you are mixing tracks that are the same BPM. As soon as you change the BPM of the track the key will change up or down depending on slowing or speeding up the track to beat match. With the digital format of mixing with Virtual DJ, Serato, Traktor you can keylock the track so that when the pitch is changed the key remains the same. This is offten forgotten on these type of videos.

One of the best explanations of mixing and key I have found on YouTube

Good work. Nice to see a DJ thinking musically at this level. As a sax player who works with different DJ's every weekend, this kind of knowlege of harmony is very much appreciated. Also, nice one for pointing out Keylock for mixing so we don't end up having to micro-tune between keys!

Thanks for this. Very helpful. It's the sort of thing a decent dj will have been doing with their ears, but it's nice to have the diagram when looking for tracks

I find that mixing in key works better with Edm because you have more flexibility with the bpm between tracks than other genres of music.
Just my opinion!
I missed your Sunday's skill set. You owe 2 this Sunday to make up. Lol
