Camelot Wheel: Full Key Chart for DJs (All 24 Keys)
The Camelot wheel gives each of the 24 musical keys a number from 1 to 12 and a letter — A for minor, B for major — so DJs can see at a glance which tracks will mix in key. Below is the full chart, with every key's compatible keys.
What the Camelot wheel is
The Camelot system, popularised by Mixed In Key, is a DJ-friendly version of the circle of fifths. Instead of remembering that A minor sits next to E minor and D minor, you read 8A, 9A and 7A. Most DJ software (rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, djay) can display keys in Camelot notation, and PickTrack shows the Camelot key on chart tracks.
The rule of thumb: from any key you can move to the same key, one number up or down with the same letter, or the same number with the other letter. Going two numbers up is an energy boost that works best over a short transition.

How to use the chart in a set
Look up the key of the track that is playing, then pick your next track from its three compatible keys. Staying on the A side keeps the mood darker; switching to B (same number) lifts it without a clash. Keep tempos within a few BPM — pitching a track without key lock moves its key about one semitone for every 6% of tempo change, which is 7 steps around the wheel.
For a whole playlist, harmonic sort does the work: PickTrack Pro orders a playlist in one tap so every step moves to a compatible key with a smooth tempo flow.
