What This Move Does

It's the classic peak-time lift — two steps up the wheel reads as a clear, felt jump in energy. Use it sparingly at the moments that matter; chain two boosts back-to-back and the set starts to feel like it's sprinting.

In the booth: Compatible keys — mix during breakdown. Line the phrases up, bring the new track in over 16–32 bars, and let the key relationship do the rest — 12B and 2B sit close enough on the wheel that nothing clashes.

The wheel below is set to 12B2B is one of its highlighted safe moves. Tap any key to explore from there.

Hover or tap any key — the wheel shows the four safe moves out of it. Green is the same key, cyan a ±1 step, violet the major/minor flip, amber a +2 energy lift.

Note the direction: 12B2B is the named move. Coming back from 2B, you'd usually reach for one of 2B's own five moves instead of retracing this jump.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mix 12B into 2B?

What does 12B to 2B do to the energy of a set?

It's the classic peak-time lift — two steps up the wheel reads as a clear, felt jump in energy. Use it sparingly at the moments that matter; chain two boosts back-to-back and the set starts to feel like it's sprinting.

Does 2B back into 12B work too?
