Many professional DJs move around the Camelot wheel with every mix.
To select a compatible song, choose a keycode within one "hour" of your current keycode. If you are in 8A, you can play 7A, 8A or 9A next. If you are in 12A, you can play 11A, 12A or 1A. This mix will be smooth every time.
You can also mix between inner and outer wheels if you stay in the same "hour." For example, try mixing from 8A to 8B, and notice the change in melody as you go from Minor to Major.
Harmonic mixing is a simple technique, but it opens up a world of creativity. You will play creative DJ sets and discover interesting song combinations. It's easy to get started with any music genre.
Energy Boost Mixing
Detect the key of your current song, and pick the next song to be 1 or 2 semitones above it.
C, D, E, F, G, A, B
If you're in C Minor, your next key should be D-flat Minor (+1 semitone) or D Minor (+2 semitones). Take a look at the image above. The rule is always the same, just go "right" on the piano from your original key.
The effect is really interesting: Energy on the dance floor will rise. It doesn't work with every song, but most of the time it can create a pleasant effect.
Does this translate to Camelot numbers?
Yes. To go up one semitone, add 7 to your current Camelot number. If you're in E-flat Minor (2A), add 7 and you'll be in E Minor (9A).
To go up two semitones, just add 2 to your current Camelot number. If you're in C Minor (5A), add 2 and you'll get D Minor (7A). Play your next tune in 7A, and you'll experience an energy boost mix.
How fast should the mix be?
It's better to mix quickly, because the melodies will clash. You're going for a specific effect, and not a long blend.
Who uses it?
I've heard DJ Sasha and Armin Van Buuren use this technique. Whether it was intentional or not, it sounded great.
Building A CD Mix?
Try this!
First track should be an instrumental (no vocals) and the duration shorter than 2 minutes 30 seconds.
Second track should have vocals and should not be longer than 4 minutes.
All the rest of the tracks should be less than 5 minutes each.
Take in Requests?
As a commercial DJ, you are EXPECTED to know just about everything and HAVE just about everything they will ask for.
Take your DJ career serious? Then GET serious!
