What This Move Does

It nudges the energy up so gently most of the floor never notices the key changed — the default way to keep a set moving forward. Use it any time; it never draws attention to itself.

In the booth: Moving up Camelot wheel — energy lift. Line the phrases up, bring the new track in over 16–32 bars, and let the key relationship do the rest — 1A and 2A sit close enough on the wheel that nothing clashes.

The wheel below is set to 1A2A is one of its highlighted safe moves. Tap any key to explore from there.
